i can't remember the money was flowing the wrong way...kinda like thinking my wife was done with christmas shopping as my daily balance on the visa kept going up...I believe I got it painted and repaired (some big cracks in the front) for $250 and myself and a friend put it on. front was a little tight...ultimately i'll probably have to replace it...Dev got the WALD waiting for a previous customer? (j/k Henry...don't trip...although I do already know where he lives )

I like the full replacement but "hiding the cost" from the wifey would be difficult.

I like the roof spoiler but the price is a major eye opener! I can't imagine spending anywhere close to what it cost ($800+).

totally agree jeff... 800 bucks on a roof spoiler that's only frb, that's pretty steep... and seriously it doesn't have much style as well from the pic, seems like just a piece of flat fg?

gene must be loaded

and is tom's the only company with a roof spoiler for the car? i can understand why it's so limited though, considering that the top still needs to go down

Thanks everyone for your input!

I'm not ready for the AC kit, it seems to be major work, plus could get expensive.

Wald like I said is not good since I live in NY area and the clearance in the front is no good,

What do you guys think about this.

Exclusive kit http://www.l-tunedparts.com/photos/1...dat?1102640331 without the rear, and use the Wald rear lip: http://www.l-tunedparts.com/photos/705/1.dat?1092975275

would that look ok, or it would match? Does anyone have any pix with exclusive kit?

haha my car is hardly perfection. I am toying with the idea of using my saved up mod money for a dslr thats been calling my name. It'll probably be money better spent than a fiberglass roof spoiler as Henry said. Actually I bet we could have a company custom make a roof spoiler for way less if we wanted to.

Its not too bad, I do drive very conservatively though. Driveways are a pain but if your planing on putting 20's on it'll be more bearable than my setup.
