Default 3gs Roof spoiler

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paint...item3f0ad181ca

Is the item featured on ebay a good item (not like half *** made). Also do roof spoilers blow off cars I read somewhere someone had one stolen yesterday or something but then davegs said it probably blew off like alot of them do. Also do many people here have them or they aren't worth having. Trying to find ways of making the car look good since it is out of warranty

Your grammar is a bit off, I've tried to understand it but mileage has nothing to do with a roof spoiler. It's a cosmetic piece and as for it falling or flying off, depends on how you attach it. I would recommend using 3M double sided tape, the gray one.

Get something thats not too out there, that one you linked too is a bit too much for the GS. They have a Wald replica on eBay, get that.

Just installed the roof spoiler. Not sure if I like it though.

This spoiler is strictly for show, correct? Although I guess it will have some effect on downforce. Anyway, I think the two spoiler look is sort of weird. Takes away from the look of the car IMO.

Yes, strictly for the looks. I want to stare at it for few more days and then decide whether I wanna keep it. Here is where I got it:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-LEXU...80372347099739

It was only $69 painted and shipped.

imho, the edge of the roof spoiler turning upward sorta kills the lines of the roof. if you get a roof spoiler without that upturn edge part, it would look much better.
