Other Roof Wing Options?

Hey just wanted to know if anybody has purchased a roof wing from anywhere beside Stillen. I found this one on ebay but dont know if I should just stick with what everyone already has. Thanks!

I bought mine off Ebay from a seller in Taiwan. It looks great but the adhesive tape didn't stick on the ends when it got cold out. I am going to have to have it redone when it gets warm out.

is the roof wing just a cosmetic thing or does it do anything?

Thanks! Yeah I couldn't justify the price of the Stillen one + having it painted but the one from eBay comes pre-painted and looks great.

Oh and as others have mentioned, it adds ~25 horsepower when in Ds mode.

We had a group buy once on here. Like 12 of us. 8 7thgen owners and 4 6thgen car owners. We gave our specific needs and colors to Happy and he did all the work and shipped to all of us across the US. So know he matches every color you can think of. I don't know how those guys do it over there, but wish we could have cheap things like that in this country, instead of us always buying stuffs from overseas.

A lot of people on here have bought from Happy and all of them, including me, are all HAPPY with their purchase. So, no fear. They will respond. Just make your offer and pay. Shipping is fast!

you can get the color code of your paint off of your car. open the drivers side door and look for a sticker on the car that is in the trim where the door meets the car, it will have a color code - for example my radiant silver is K12. when I found the spoiler from the eBay seller BMWOEMSHOP available I just provided my color code and it came perfectly matched. i highly recommend them!

I heard back from Shadow. He doesnt have white. None of the listings I saw for Happy included white as one of the options. I'll check again and try messaging him again. Thanks.

Just got my spoiler last night. The paint job looks nice. i havent had a chance to compare the spoiler to the car yet but it looks dead on. They were able to match my color code k50. They were really good about replying to my emails.

Its floppy as hell

But seriously, I stood (w/o shoes) on my back seat corner and was able to start at each edge, bend the wing, and lay it down rather easily
