Hmmmm .... I'd be concerned about the installation of a product only attached by double stick tape and gravity. Wonder how aerodynamic it is at 60, 70, 80 or more miles per hour...

I have the TOM's version, after a few years I've had no issues with the double sided tape loosening up.

Ive got the Behrman roof and trunk, both are on with the 3m sticky stuff Berhman supplied. The stuff sticks like ***** on your boots, its not going anywhere.

That double sided sticky tape is what holds any body mouldings on too (think late '90s large sedans like Mercs, Jags, BMW etc). Actually, any late '90s cars (Honda Accords had them too). They never fell off, and didn't even have the benefit of gravity.

Ok that leads to the question ...what does the roof spoiler do aerodynamically to the car? Or, just it just look cool?

Thanks, I got all the Behrman parts from http://www.takakaira.co.jp (but their site is down for work ATM) I think I paid about $580 for the roof spoiler. So Brah Pits link above is a very good deal.

The wheels are Aicona ALC 35 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear
