Roof Spoiler = +10hp

Lol really though, i'm sure there are certain scenarios a roof spoiler might provide some sort of aerodynamic benefit, but as far as our cars go it's just a visual thing.

It adds 100 horsepower! Nobody told you?

On a serious note, I like the look of roof spoilers. I haven't gotten around to getting one yet though.

Well worth the price you pay. Easy installation. So if you don't like the look, you can easily remove it and resell it.

However, don't get one if you don't have a rear trunk spoiler because it will look weird.

Gotta keep a coat of wax on it to help delay any yellowing.
I try and wax it as much as I can, I know the paint isn't OEM quality lol
