Stillen Kit + Rear Window Spoiler?

I have the full stillen aero kit and it's going to be put on during my spring break somewhere between march 5 and 13 so of course i'm already looking for my next mod...i think a half-sized rear window spoiler would look pretty cool i've seen quite a few of them and wanted to know what you guys thought about them.

I was a actually thinking the same thing. but i always thought that it would look better if you have rain guards on all the windows, and a sunroof deflector.

any pics of a window spoiler painted white on a white max?

Thats what I thought too, until I bought the half sized spoiler and just placed it on the rear window and stepped back..... It just didn't look right to me for some reason, like there was to many spoilers or whatever.....I had the rain guards, sunroof deflector, and trunk spoiler, and it was just too much.

having the sunroof deflector, and rain guards do make it a little too much. i'm not fond of that look either. window spoiler alone is perfect for me.

-ZIPPIN- thanks for the kind words. to me it doesn't seem like i've done much to her, and i feel like i have a ways to go, but i'm pleased with the progress so far.....enjoy

If you get one make sure you clean the glass well with rubbing alcohol first so the tape holds on good.

I preferred the look of the full sized spoiler. I agree that it would be too much if you have the sunroof deflector and rain guards.

The OEM tape is not very good, as nismo0604 said. I replaced it with 3M moulding tape...the kind with the red backing. That stuff is really sticky.

I recently just purchased a half size from paradox racing and they gave me mine with the red backed 3m tape......its in the process of getting painted and then I have to wait until it gets warmer to put it on.

I got mine almost 2 years ago from Southwest Auto (IIRC), and it didn't have the red-backed tape. That's great if the Paradox ones have it now!

That black on black is the sickness yo.

I agree that the look with just the win spoiler is very nice yet understated. I am ordering one.... and getting it painted silver to match.

half, full takes away to much from the car, and everyone will only notice the spoiler. i recommend half, but you can get what you like.

Half looks much better...
And Deckdout, your car is sick as all hell. I had a black Millenia with dark rims, love that look... makes me almost wish I had bought a black max!
