Stillen Roof wing VS Happy buy it now: The Difference?

Now that my Eibach springs are here, now time to get a roof wing. I heard the happy buy it now extreme roof wing is cheaper but does it look the same as Stillen? I've compared countless photos but pics don't justify it cause they are taken at various angles. Any inputs? Thanks.

Can't wait to get the Eibach's installed in spring. I'm dying to but it's 20 degrees in NJ

I got a HappyBuyItNow roof wing and I'm happy with the product and the price that he offered when a bunch of us went in a group buy, it's rubber too form with the curve of the window/roof and the paint work done is amazing match up to the veh color. Now I don't know to much about the Stillen but I'm assuming it's plastic. When I got my wing in the mail I went out and bought a rubber/glass poxie for extra bite and put clear masking tape for a few days so it can form. and I also recommend doing the install in summer temps Just some input & a couple pics

yea the Stillen one is made of the same material as the front lip. its a little lighter and has a slightly more defined shape to it. the eBay one (that I also have) has been described as a "big wet noodle" that you glue on to the rear window. color match is great, price is great, looks nice. i may replace it with the Stillen one someday when I have nothing else to do but I like it for now

I have wondered.. Does the roof wing serve a purpose or is it just an aesthetic thing?

@ Ghozt and silver7thgen:
Thanks for your help. I think I'll get one as well since it's cheaper and saves me the hassle of going to a paint shop


@ funnyman82:
It's just for looks. I've seen one on a white max today at the dealership when I was changing my oil and it's sexy as hell. Too bad the Max I saw was being sold today. I asked the sales guy if he could rip that off and give it to me for 20 bucks but he said no. I was tempted to take it and rip it right off and run Here's the pics that I took before that Max went home. It was FULLY LOADED. I would of bought that Max right away of I was looking for one. It only had about 6500 miles on the odo.

IDK but go on ebay... I went on the website also and didnt find anything. The one I'm about to order on Monday is $88 painted. Not bad compared to Stillen's $190 unpainted one.
