Default roof spoiler what do we think

He so I been debating a roof spoiler for months now. something very mellow as I have the stock small wing and keeping it that way. I will be adding a mild front and rear lip and side skirts prob not till after this summer though. soo just trying to do some little things. whats everyones thoughts on these? I found this one on ebay it carbon fiber(sure just an overlay) but fig for 95 shipped I can just paint to match. and always rip off if I get sick of so.... thanks guys

also while im playing on ebay lol what do you think of this lip? looks alot like the sieben(sp check) one. was thinking same thing 75 can put on till can afford an offical kit?

Ive seen this on subi's and looks stylish on the z. if you order it let us know if it's quality carbon fiber and not the cheap knock off

im thinking its gotta be the cheap CF same as the 45 air ducts on ebay imo the air duct looks great lol so.... plus would paint it to match the car the fiberglass real one is like 250 and I wouldnt pay that much. I have seen it on some guys g35 and it flowed pretty nicely

Roof spoilers are RICE and look like crap on a Z or G. It's one of the most retarded and tasteless mods I have seen for this platform.

Definitely recommend saving your money for a nice exhaust system instead.

Here is my 2 pennies...

A roof spoiler in general is NOT for everyone, so decide if YOU like it, because the way you "mod" your car is a reflection of your personal taste( but you knew that already, right?) That particular roof spoiler you are/were looking at looks flimsy and poorly made... Take a closer look and you will see that it is a hollow piece... Like someone else said, look at the Stillen spoiler, yes it is more expensive, but looks 10x better...

As for the front lip, those are a dime a dozen, the best thing about it, is that it is made of PU... However, I would advise you to buy any body part from someone/vendor that is local so you can check the fitment right there and then...

The last link you posted looked like poop!

You lost me at "What do we think". We think you need to think for yourself.

This is very true but since I had the TE37's, the Nismo V3, and the other carbon bits... It looked more like a "race" look without it. I feel that if I were to take off the V3, Paint the Stillen spoiler black, and put the VSXX's... it would flow better with the VIP look.
