I went to a new car wash in my home town in jacksonville nc was on vacation, had to get the altima washed after a 450 mile drive from tennessee, all you guys know beach,bikini, and a dirty cars dont mix. anyways went through the wash then the dryer came on it was like being under jumbo jet my stillen roof wing flew off the back window slide across the roof, fell on the hood and slide off the hood to the concrete, it was bad the hood and the roof had no scraches cant say the same for the roof wing its chip and scracthed up.

Well that sucks. Sorry to hear about that bro. Did you properly clean the area where the roof spoiler would have been applied? Sounds like the adhesive did not adhere because of inadequate cleaning.

I think you should get this as a replacement spoiler. This will add least 30HP to the coupe.

Unless it's a hatchback, I think roof wings on coupes and sedans look.. umm overkill/rice. The dryer did you a favor. Or you might have ended up on one of those rice basher websites. How bad would that be for your ego?

But it's OK, don't feel too bad. I had a stainless 2.5" exhaust tip fall off from my Sentra 1.8 while driving down a highway, with several cars behind me as witnesses. Yeah you bet I felt like Mario Andretti then.
