there is a red one running around up here where i live with the roof spoiler, i will see if i cant track it down and get a picture of it for you. i think it looks pretty good with it, it is the same color red as the car.

This is the one I'm getting, not too huge and ugly.
It's subtle, small, sleek and just compliments the car....

It doesn't demand too much attention..
I don't want people to notice my car because of the huge roof spoiler.

and the price is pretty awesome too
$38.99 shipped

haha ^that eqauls a POS. I thought the same way as you but when you get it you will see. Mine had no double sided tape and wasnt shaped right to fit on the window properly. Needless to say after installing double sided 3M tape and heating it up to make it fit correctly, it flew off within 20 minutes of driving.
so........Kaminari FTW

as long as the window is clean and the spoiler is clean and you have some good double sided tape everything should be fine. also the one pictured above looks like it mounts to the body, the one in the link i posted actually mounts to the back glass.

Yeah, I had to put on the 3m myself too. But honestly for that price it`s a nice complimentary piece to your car. About the installation it doesnt come with any.. but I did was stick it on about half an inch higher than the window glass. Then it`ll stick on properly. I`ve had that roof spoiler on for awhile now (3 months) and Ive boned out on the freeway pretty fast 110+ and still didnt fly off. I tried using some superglue on between the roof spoiler and the 3m tape to make it stick because my tape didnt want to stick to the roof spoiler but now no problems.
