Default Roof Spoiler

Borrowed these photos from CJITTY's build thread to start a discussion.

CJITTY, the roof spoiler looks very nice. It's understated but adds substance to the center light. I am very tempted....

Have you noticed any noise issues? Is the 3M tape that holds the spoiler in place durable in extreme cold? It can get down to zero degrees in Jan/Feb here in Missouri, especially at highway speeds.

Looks good. I prefer the trunk spoiler myself.

Please post pics of your spoiler. IMO, there are too many trunk spoilers around . Doesn't the LS trunk lid itself have a bit of a rise to function like a spoiler?

This is the one I installed, though I paid quite a bit less than that price. Lots of them on Ebay and they come pre-painted to match your car.

It's priced at $224 on the company site. Plus there is a $10 online discount.

Interestingly, they don't yet make a trunk spoiler for the 2013+ vehicles. The roof spoiler is good for all 2007+ cars.

I think this spoiler really sticks out. IMO, it just doesn't fit the car. All the pics shown are tightly focused on the spoiler, so it is hard to get a feel for how it really looks on the car and flows with the body lines. Which is why, it would be so awesome if you could post a few pics from different angles and distances Thanks in advance!!

Just catching up. No issues with spoiler in the cold days in Atlanta..it's been single digits here before believe it or not. I usually do have a issue with the right side where the curvature really wants to pull away a little but doubling up on 3M tape works

Thanks CJITTY, how about noise? Any increase in wind noise after installing? I am a bit concerned about the spoiler detaching, but looks like you got that problem fixed.

It's beautiful. Since the roof spoiler is part of the body kit, I doubt if they will sell only that part. Can you post pics from other angles?

These spoilers are available individually. No need to buy the whole kit.

No extra noise observed
