Default Rear Window visor -ish/wing..Hmm...

So I got my ucf10 trunk lip wing from ebay, you know, the rubber looking one that sells for about $50 - 60 shipped. Well it just has two strips of double sided tape to adhere to the car. You just conform it to the shape of your trunk....

BUT I got to thinking how about putting it on the top of the rear window as a wing?

It can conform to the shape of your glass, to make it clean all you would have to do is measure and cut the edges of it to follow the curve of the chrome trim around the rear window.

I might just work okay since the only listed roof wings on ebay is for a ucf20 and their $200+ anyway.

Just wondering if anyone has done this yet?

Also I planned to NOT paint this if its on the rear window and order another one for the trunk and paint that to match the car.

Would that be cheap looking...would that look right?

Lemme know :P

it wouldnt look right, most rear window spoilers are angled to match or come close to the angle of the roof, this would be WAY off.

It would probably be funny looking. Plus all ghetto from cutting it to fit.

Have any pics of the spoiler?

You should set it on the top of the rear window and take a quick picture.
