LOL didn't notice until you said it.

I don't know though, I think it should match the car color. That's just me though, what matters is that you like it.

IV ALWAYS LOVED THE WAY THE LEXUS RX350 HAS A BLACK SPOILER TO MATCH THE TINTED REAR WINDOW, SO I WANTED TO TRY IT. :)

idk, i really like it. i knew it was gonna be one of those 'love it or hate' things, but i guess since i had my eye on the lexus, i dig this. i think my next thing is gonna be to wrap the roof in gloss black to match ;) and to give it that glass roof look ;)

I thought I had seen that before, but couldn't place it. I forgot Lexus does that.

I have had many people mistake the rogue for a lexus when they first see it.

The thing with lexus is that they color the roof rack black so the spoiler fits in better. This would look better if the rogue roof rack was black.. My rogue is also gray and i am thinking this over.. And do you sell your spoilers? How much? :D

On a side note, I have been contemplating trying to install something similiar to the Juke's wheel well trim/moulding piece. For some reason, the Rogue looks unfinished IMO and those fender wheel well trim pieces would look GOOD on my ride. Any thoughts ImStricken?

i agree. the rogue looks 'unfinished' in many ways. and it leaves A LOT to be desired. id look into these fender flairs for a more off-road look if they were available.

Dont worry it's no rush.. Do you have an estimate as to when your ebay store will be up and running again? I'm new to this whole online buying thing and using paypal.. and i am going to be using my brother's ebay account so i will have to talk to him first(he's at work.

Can you paint or wrap the roof rails in black as well?

im thinking about removing them, and giving them a little sanding & to hit them with some paint. but i am more into applying gloss black vinyl on the roof. i love that look. if the rails look weird then, then ill paint them.

I think the black/grey combo is awesome by the way. I don't know if I would personally paint the roof.. but if you do any external parts and accent items in black it would be a really sweat look!

ImStricken! You just hit me up with something... It would look kinda nice wrapping up and matching the hood, roof and spoiler on a glossy black or carbon style vinyl. But it would have to be a vinyl that can withstand the way the weather changes.

I like the black roof a lot.. but I wonder if it's worth the energy on an SUV? I know the Rogue isn't huge, but it's still tall enough that most people can't see much of the roof.. especially from the side with the roof racks. That's why I think I'd just wrap the racks and then look for some black wheels and call it a day.

from the back, the way the roof sloped you can see the roof easily. since i do all my own work- it might be a project worth trying and learning.(never did it before)

and regarding looking for wheels - i hate aftermarket rims. i only trust OEM spec wheels. if i was to look for wheels, id only grab up oem wheels(like the Enkie stock rims from inifiniti.) i have tons of new & used rims at work, like new juke rims, or new infiniti 18's, but idk if its even worth it. id rather just paint my stock ones if some plastidip. but from all the images i did in photoshop, the rogue will look cheapened out with black rims.

ImStricken, when you installed the spoiler what did you use as a rust preventive?
