[QUOTE=Rdubz;2160907] The pic you show looks like it is all on the glass? Kinda hard to tell. The fit on mine was perfect.

QUOTE]

I agree, the one pictured in the eBay ad looks like it is mounted on the rear glass only. The UGO is mounted on the edge of the roof sheet metal no contact with the rear glass. Must also consider how well the surface is finished. If wavy or pock-marked will look terrible when painted. Your painter will have to fill, block sand, and prime to ensure a quality paint job. This could add an additional $85 -$100 to the cost of painting. I haven't seen a JP roof spoiler other than in pictures. It looks very similar to the UGO and remarkably is priced lower than the GB price of the UGO the last time they came around. I think the UGO/JP rear deck spoiler combo looks great. That's why I have it on my car.

I see Carson has Mac Blick and JP roof spoilers for sale.. I would like to see how JP roof spoiler looks up close and to see how agressive it is.. But Mac Blick JDM on ebay looks the same to as the one on Rdubz car. Rdubz, why didn't you get the kit and roof spoiler from Carson, isn't it the same, or you just paid less over seas? So if anyone has JP roof spoiler pics up close to see how agressive it is, please post?

here is the JP roof spoiler I found, it does not look agressive enough, even compared to Rdubz Mac Blick spoiler on previous pics, or compared to the one I posted from ebay, that looks the same to me as the on on Rdubz.. I still would love to have UGO roof spoiler, but if no one sells it to me, I will get the one from Ebay.. I think

The only reason I went with Memory Fab over Carson was because they got it to me for hundreds less than Carson could. Give both a call to see what they can do for you, you won't be dissapointed with either place.

The JP ones are somewhat small/understated. If you like that, then great.

neo, I agree JP are small, but these mac blick ones are not bad, Rdubz roof spoiler is nice and looks the same to me as the one on ebay, I might just get the one on ebay, its a big selle with perfect 3000 feedbacks.. but I will call memory fab and see how much.. Rdubz, your wheels are just the best i have seen on black GS.. i have one of your car pics on my PC screen wallpaper.. hotness.. lol.. thats right i am sweating the wheels.. lol

Thanks for the compliments. In my mind the wheels were the best decision I've made for the car. Second best will be the suspension upgrade I will be getting very shortly.
