Default L-sportline roof spoiler Question

Guys,
Where, besides Steve, where can I purchase the L-sportline roof spoiler?
My reason for asking, is that Steve informed me that he switched to selling the UGO roof spoiler instead, because the L-sportline roof spoiler sometimes have problems with fit and prep. Have anyone experienced this problem?

Whats the main differences between the UGO Roof spoiler, and the L-sportline? I know that the L-sportline sits on the glass I beleive, and the UGO sits on the roof. Is the height the same? Is the width the same? Is it Urethane? Fiberglass? Pics of both side by side would be great. thanks

The Lsport mounts to the glass and has a lower profile, the UGO mounts to the car and sits up a little higher! IMO the low profile look of the Lsport is my choice, here are a couple pics

I'm gonna sell my L-sportline spoiler soon. PM me if interested.

Here's what it looks like. You just need to get it repainted.

I have seen several L-Sportline roof spoiler on GS in person. The fitment is not that good, big gaps on both sides. I'd go with UGO but it's too pricy. I gave up mine for some other CL members

I agree! I wasn't impressed with the fitment either. I'm in the process of complaining to a distributor who in turn is asking me for measurements of both window length and LSportline length. Bottom line I had 5/16 of an inch gap between both ends. Can anybody say filler! For that kinda money I expected a lot more. With that said my body shop did say that the LSportline front spoiler was one of the better fits that they have installed. Go Figure!

GS4fun Don' take offence but your fit looked like a spitting image of mine.

It seems like that everyone is not liking the L-sportline roof spoiler fitment. What did the manufacturer say when you complained?

Just gettin the typical run around. What else is new! If it's not the window it's the car or perhaps it was in an accident! It would be nice if they would just step up to the plate and say Yeah! we had some problems and we'll replace it for you! LOL!

Guys,

I stand corrected, Steve still carry the L-sportline roofspoiler, but was just giving me the heads-up about the problems with the fit of this spoiler. Good Guy

Does every Lsportline spoiler have the gaps on each side, or do you hope to get lucky and purchase one that fits just right?

My Tom's roof spoiler and I believe even the new player, DSR, has a very slight gap on each side. I hardly would consider that as a "fitment issue".

Now if it's warped or doesn't even blend to your roof at all.......

I noticed since you post that at the end of each post!! LOL

I dont think the small gap is a big deal either, if someone would not have pointed it out, I would not have even noticed it on GS4Funs car!
