Default Roof spoiler

So I'm wanting to do a custom roof spoiler and want some opinions:

Oem type with some Evo 9 kind of raised spikes (see links I can't post pics at this time). These are just some examples, I don't think I would do as many raised pieces integrated into one and it would be carbon or fiberglass depending on the person's preference inquiring.

Ebay oem type

And example of Evo 9 type

The spikes look horrible. But it's your ride, do as you wish.

I mean, it doesn't look awful, but it will require something else to tone down that look. I know many Evo and STi guys run that same look, but it is a different crowd. Truth be told, I've seen the finned look on one 2IS, and it didn't look bad, but certainly not my cup of tea. It can't hurt to give it a try. If you don't like it, it comes off. If you like how it looks, then you have something unique that you like.

I think carbon fibre is the way to go.

How about a design that incorporates the shape of the rear diffusers? I'm getting the Arkym for mine.

Think that would look pretty cool.

ive been working on this idea for quite some time. i had this idea about a year and a half ago. i ordered the oem STi brand roof vortex generator. a little bit longer..not much which is why i bought this. i just havent had teh time to work on it. it will only look good for cars that are lowered aggressively. otherwise will look ricey. ill try and post pics when i get progress on it.
