Roof spoiler COMPLETED - Final pictures!!

Finally, I got my roof spoiler back from body shop all painted. AT the shop, we put double-sided tape in the base pads. I cleaned the rear window off with alcohol and pressed the spoiler in place. I then sealed the edges with black silicone adhesive sealant, not the gasket maker. Here are pics since .






Tell me what you think!!

Here is a close up showing the fit of the spoiler around the ledge that surrounds the rear window.This helps it blend in with the lines of the car.

Ok I will be the devil advocate here. I admire that you make your ride different from any other max. I think the extra wing is a bit much. Now if you did not have the huge wrx wing it may have a different look. I think it clutters up the car. Just my thought. now let the flaming begin.

No flaming. Im glad to hear everyones opinions, whether its good or bad. Pics dont always capture what the cazr really looks like. From MOST angles, the car doesnt have a cluttered look. The WRX spoiler doesnt look very big in person. Its a bit larger than the G35 wing, but not by much. Fortunately, black is a minimizing color, so, again, in person, it looks better than some of these pics. I'll try to get some far-away pics for you and tell me what you think.

Yeah, when I saw your car in person, the WRX spoiler didn't look too big or out of place at all. The roof spoiler on the STI, on the other hand, does look too big for that car. Your car looks good in the pics, but I guess it could look different in person.

It looks like your roof spoiler might generate more lift...?

From what I understand, it will direct air to trunk spoiler and thus provide more downforce. Ill go take some far away shots, so you can see the angle of the spoiler better.

Should not be too significant, but I assume more drag as well...

you may be right Deus. Maybe some far away pics may help. If the wing is only a bit bigger than the G35 wing it may be alright. The pic makes that wrx wing look huge.

That looks really sweet...but I think I'd like it better with the flatter g35 wing. I was thinking about a spoiler in that position over the top of the glass. I lost some radio reception when I tinted the rear glass. Removing the film from over the antenae and covering the gap with a spoiler should keep it looking good. What do you think?

U prolly used the film with metal in it. The roof spoiler would cover it up for sure.
