Default C/F for SGM..

thinking about buying a cf lip and roof spoiler for my SGM , but thinking it might just not flow with just those two cf parts.
What do you think?

I like a little bit of cf and not too much, it'll flow fine. Don't worry about it lol

SGM is the perfect color for CF IMO. But still I prefer painted

I have the CF front lip on my Obsidian. I'm going to get the CF Roof spoiler as well, which spoiler are you looking at? CF blends in better on SGM than on black imo.

CF & SGM go together well. I think the CF spoiler and lip will accent your car very nicely.

CF would look great on a SGM IS. It will flow very well.

Here's a link to Stonefan's car. He just installed a cf front lip on his IS.

Hope it helps in your decision.

Should look good if you decide not to tho

With the code it should come down to $260 something. Not sure about shipping. I'm thinking about just getting one off eBay, has a different shape, that of the regular roof spoiler, but no one will notice haha

Man I'm nucking futts...Make sure the weave goes in the same direction. I was almost going to get the Genuine Jun-TW CF Roof spoiler, but then realized the weave goes in the opposite direction as my front lip. The lip goes from left to right from front to back, and the Jun-TW goes from right to left. This ebay one goes from left to right as well, so I went with that to better match...Damn I'm so friggin picky. haha

Good luck in your decision! Shipped for $218.00, a tad bit cheaper than Jun-TW.

If fitment is like any of the other eBay roof spoilers, it should be perfect. I believe it was made by the same group that made my front lip spoiler, so it should be pretty spot on. I'm not sure about the adhesive they included though, so I may get 3M automotive tape.

I suggest replacing the tape/adhesive that comes with the spoiler with your own. Make sure to get the 3M tape that holds up to 5lbs.
