haha ok j, just checking

personally i think the roof spoiler is ok, but only with more aggressive kits like the vertex. i think that will go very well

Can anyone post a side by side comparison of the UGO, JP and this one? Are the differences pretty subtle?

haha dunno rich. jp one is so small and thin (very subtle) and it's around 400. for that price i think the ugo is so much better, at least you can tell it's there, but still it looks so smooth.

the thing with this one is that it has some very hard lines.

and btw, with this roof spoiler, there is one very important thing to watch out for. i cant' see from the pic but it's about how thick the spoiler is. those who don't know, the lsportline roof spoiler for the is300 (read: NOT gs....) looks something like this, and the middle part will actually dip down coz' of the weight. that's stupid poor design.

if this roof spoiler is to stay its shape on heat and what not, it has to be thick and strong. the ugo has no problem coz' of the structural design and the thickness, making it a very strong roof spoiler in terms of shape

just happen that my friend has this one on his white GS. He bought the GS from salvage auction so I don't know where the spoiler is bought. But it is the exact same one... looks really big in person and it is a stick one piece on rear windshield. The fitment is not perfect as I can see some gaps in there.
I actually offered him 150 for that spoiler but he wants to keep it.
Anyone knows what brand is it??
