Default Ebay Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler

Looks good from that distance, a close up shot will certainly help.

Not a fan of carbon fiber and it doesn't match the flow of the car. imo

Looks good. Did you use 3M tape to secure it?

Any carbon fiber always looks good on a black car, imo. Fitment looks good to for the price.

I used a double sided tape i had laying around the house, not sure if it was 3M but it had a Red backing and the tape itself is gray and is VERY sticky.

That looks like the same one I got on eBay. I trade it for one painted black though. Looks good!
