Its a new Aero kit company. All or most of their body kits are designed by Chunky Bai(Singal Auto Drifter). Touge Factory carries them.

Nice, I usually don't like the looks of those roof wings but the carbon fibre looks nice. I still would NEVER put anything as hideous as a roof spoiler on my car, but more power to you, thats whats great about customizing a car how you want

James from S.I.X. Autoworks had his friend custom make it for his car and this was a spare he had lying around. I doubt if it has any effect on aerodynamics, probably detrimental actually $200 It fits pretty well, the pictures don't do it justice. It's not perfect but pretty good overall.

finally! after 21 replies you responded....I might get the Origin lab ones since GPSport will cost an arm and leg and it'll take 10 years to get. We'll see the difference.
