Exclamation Roof Spoiler?

I've seen roof spoilers for BMW 5 Series, and GS. How come no one makes a roof spoiler for SC? I would imagine that it would look good. What is your opinions on this issue? Can someone photoshop it to see how it would look.! I think it would be a good project if someone can pull it off!!!:eek:

it would be a nice idea, but I imagine it would need to stick out alot to look right.

One question: why?

I could see the roof spoiler on BMWs and GSs, but those are four-door sedans. We have a two-door coupe. It simply wouldn't look right IMO. The SC has elegant lines, why "spoil" it?

Oh Boy, you guys really know how to get on my ****;

How come no one makes a roof spoiler for SC?

Because they never thought anyone would be ******* stupid enough to buy one! Seems they could be wrong.


That is nearly as sad as the soft **** on the LSOC who asked if they made a roof rack for the Soarer - should have his eyes gouged out.

I guess the addition of Emoticons would be superfluous.

:eek: OMG Are you kidding me??? A roof rack on an SC??? It's not an SUV, ya know.

From far away, it might look like one of those CHP Camaros.

[Edit]
Sorry, I'm being superfluous.

Thumbs down

Boo to both ideas,...bike rack and roof spoiler,... the first is for cars not elite like ours,... I don't think I'll ever see a bike racked CL55, M3, SL500 or M5,....

Rear roof spoiler??? uh,...that's to make non-aerodynamic cars what they should'a been in the first place.....

Hmm

NAZTY97,

I have seen an M5 with a nice rack on the top.... Of course my neighbor owns the rack company so he has a rack on everything he owns.

Overall thou... I think racks are for utility and if you need it for a purpose temporarily, there is nothing wrong with it. Heaven knows that we cannot fit a bike in the trunk.

Thumbs down Just my take,...

I had a SEA DOO Xp that I loved a lot,...when I bought it,... had a 95 240SX SE,... .same pearl white color, chrome rims, hooked up,.. and on it a break away sport frame hitch. Even went so far as to put a custom leather interior in the car, and me, the girls, jetski, and 240 went to the lake, got wet, and had fun,....

Ok,...sold the 240SX,..got a 300Z,... looked at that car, and was like,...THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL A HITCH IS GOIN' ON THIS CAR!! backin' a Z in the lake,... INSANE,...plus would look lame (being nice there),.... and then obviously suede and water don't do well together,....

Ok,...Z gets wrecked,...still got the jetski,.... buy the Lex Coupe,...
I think you see where this is goin',... if the Z didn't get a hitch,... wasn't puttin' one on this car either! No bike rack, no luggage rack, no mud guards that say "BACK OFF",... NADA!

I think if you wanna carry your bike around,...they have those trunk mounted ones that go on and come off when you wanna use it,... it mounts to the rear of the trunk some kinda way when you close it.

Bike racks on a Lex coupe would be like graphitti on a mansion.
