Very nice touch. It compliments your black roof. Did you purchase it from eBay?

Looks good! Like everyone else has already said, it matches your roof very well. Fitment seems spot on.

I have the same ebay spoiler, and I am not very satisfied with the fitment. Had to reinstall because tape would not hold. Mine was bowed out a little bit ,so it put a huge amount of stress on tape. Right now it is still on , but only about 65%-75% of tape is making contact less than a month later. May have to reinstall with VHB tape or silicone adhesive. PITA.

I hear you. next time try putting only tape towards the end of the spoiler, I think if you put tape on the middle that makes it stick up and might be whats unsticking the sides i guess.
Or try putting tall tape on the sides and on the middle put some of those spungy tapes that dont stick up.

I love the roof spoiler it really makes the rear look more sporty and shrinks the rear glass....though I'm glad for myself I don't have the shark fin. I think it gets in the way of the smooth flow of the rear with the spoiler. painting it black seems better to blend in with your roof and emblems..looks clean!

I'm usually not a fan of roof spoilers but this looks good. I love the black top.
