I'll second the roof spoiler, but please for the love of all things functional, do not get drilled rotors. For the past few decades, drilled rotors have been common place in performance cars because of their aesthetic value and presumed performance increase. People went under the assumption that drilling the rotors saved weight and created enough surface area to help with cooling. Unfortunately, drilling rotors in most cases does not save enough weight to compensate for the structural integrity lost. By drilling the rotors, there is more opportunity for stress fractures to occur during the heating and cooling of the rotors. Longevity is decreased.
I know they look cool, but do yourself a favor and get traditional, flat-faced rotors. You'll save money, and have longer-lasting brakes.

The aftermarket scene has really tarnished the drilled rotor image by marketing them as some sort of performance upgrade, in the same way over sized wings on import during the 90s. Under the right circumstances a quality brand name drilled rotor should be ok.
you can't. The japanese ones all cost decent money since they at the least have to be imported. There's one company selling one in the US (knockoff) but even that's like $450+ iirc.

I think its time for more pics!! Anybody does photos?? & videos??
No and no. Also, different curvature.
No US made roof spoilers available aside from the "Sarona Design" one, which is so expensive ($480 i think, may be outdated) that you can buy one from japan. But then you get bent over on shipping.
