The "Carson" one is the Artisan Spirit roof spoiler. Carson does not have their own roof spoiler.

The other one looks like the UGO, but the CF version. UGO, however, is discontinues. The company in Japan is not making anymore.

If you havent seen the real UGO roof spoiler in person. I would suggest you not to judge it. The UGO is a hard to find piece and as many has mentioned it has been discontinued. To me the UGO roof spoiler fits 100% perfect and is the most far agressive looking one, unlike the way you described it above "looks like a strip of tape".

If you really like the carson one then get it, because the UGO spoiler will be hard to find

yeah i couldn't see one for the gs?

and the one for the is3 it's just a knock off. ugo ONLY made a cf version roof spoiler for the altezza, very very expensive. someone in the US bought it and made knock off on it, and is selling tons of them --

and the one on carson's site is NOT carson!!!! carson doesn't make a roof spoiler for our cars

uhhh, I get a "product not found" on that first link for the "carson/artisan" roof spoiler.
I really wanted to see it.
I'm ready to buy a roof spoiler right now dangit! Wasn't someone going to offer up theirs so that a mold could be made up?


What do you guys think of the KAZZ roof spoiler, I thought it looked pretty good, a touch pricey though for a roof spoiler. (even IF others on on there for $400 - $500!!!)

The Carson now = UGO. Steve contracted the factory in Japan to make a limited run for the UGOs as Carson tuned. Im sure many already know this but just getting out to clear the confusion.

thanks romini, I just saw it.

Looks like I missed the GB by a few weeks. ya know, I've been ready for a good roof spoiler for about a year now as my posts can attest. I wish I had known about this GB sooner.
The last I had heard, it was all an idea, without any meat to it yet.

I'm sure I'm biased, but, let's just say that more people would probably participate in the GB's if there was an easier way to stay on top of them. (anyone who answers "just go to the forum and look" is being short-sighted.


Oh well, I'll find something.
