YES, just like the Asaka stick on roof. Just some stick on part for looks only, who cares what the price is or if its GayDM tite YO, its still a stick on part that serves no purpose other than looks, just like Pep Boys fender vents.

There is nothing wrong with people modding thier cars they way they like it. Who cares if it's for looks or not? Why do you care what I do to my car?

So every mod on your cars serves a "go fast" purpose?

Like i said above,
All good if thats the look you want your car to have.
Actually thinking about it, the shorty antenna is the only true visual mod done (it was given to me) but its not like i double sided taped an extra non functioning one on my car for no reason other than looks.

got it today only took 3 days to get here. fitment is good. just not sure if i like it lol. im holding off on painting because i may modify it to fit over the rear windshield rather then over the roof. looks a little to far up when its on the roof. so i would need to trim the edges about 1/4"-3/8" each side then round it off. then drill a hole for the windshield washer thing. but if i install it there, the windshield wiper wont work cause it will be obstructed by one of the fins. which is fine to me. so we'll see ill post pics eventually. looks to be an exact replica of the chargespeed one. may also trim the width to make it skinnier and cleaner looking.

Just took some on my phone it actually looks good im happy with it getting it painted and sticking it on. Looks aggressive from a distance. Throw some pics up later but i dont think theyll do it justice.

heres some iphone pics now to me these dont do it justice it looks better and more aggressive on my car in person. its in the paint shop right now should be on by wednesday hopefully. the bodyshop suggested using adhesive but i plan on using 3m tape....cause if i have to take it off i want to be able to. without messing up the paint. he thinks on the highway it will fly off but im doubting that.

Yah ive wanted to do it for a while to just didnt have money to spend on the chargespeed one. This is an exact replica and fits perfect even has a little lip on one edge so it sits right in the groove.
As for it being on the glass it doesnt look as good and would require cutting and drilling a hole. I had my friends over who all have good taste and nicely modded cars when they saw this they all loved it and i agreed in person it looks cool. We put it on the glass and all 4 of us agreed on the glass it was to far down.
U really just have to sit it on the roof and take 5 big steps back. For 100$ u cant really go wrong and it came to my house in 3 days from malaysia i believe.
