I know this has already been brought up but I couldn't find any pics of this exact roof spoiler. I was curious what Ya'll think about this Ebay CF Roof spoiler going on my black 08 a/c. Will the carbon fiber look ok with no other cf accesories?

Also to your knowledge is one better than the other? And is there a nice matching rear spoiler that would compiment. I need pics....

I like the first one only because it reflects the trunk lines. The second one looks like it is an add on, not conforming to the lines of the back of the car. I don't have one but if I did #1 would be my choice. As far as trunk spoilers, I'm not a fan simply because their non functional on a fwd car or you plan on driving 125+ mph every day???

A lot of mods are non-functional.. I'm sure the majority of people who put spoilers on their DDs do it cuz they like the way it looks. It's all personal preference.

Do you think that carbon fiber on my all black coupe will stick out like a sore thumb? Or look good. I haven't seen any pics that will convince me either way

I think it will look fine, and if you tint the back window, even better.

I actually have the first one, picked it up at their warehouse in LA fitment is not 100%, more like 99% of the width of the rear window. I don't have pics right now.

No tape comes with it, need to buy 3M automotive double sided tape. 3-6 bucks at any auto part store.

when you put the 3m double sided tape on it you must apply alot of pressure and keep banging it down onto the window to assure that it sticks to the glass its like a 5 minute install and an easy one at that, if you fail at installing it you fail at life lol

These aren't the best pics. But I just installed my Ebay CF roof spoiler. With shipping I think it was only $75. It looks great. Install was easy. I should have had it almost flush with the roof its a tad lower but not that noticable.


Just need to drop it and put some rims. I am plasti dipping the Nissan Burger Front and rear on Wednesday and going to carbon fiber vinyl the mustache and hopefully some more items. I love the CF look with black.

How dark are your window tints? I'm looking into doing mine.
