I'm not crazy about how the UGO spoiler mounts on the roof panel instead
of the glass; seems to distrupt the look of the roofline, in my opinion.

Me too the UGO sticks up too high off the car for my taste

i had to remove mine because the carbon fiber wrapping had a bad seal and was starting to warp off of the actual spoiler. there are a few dents on the roof from where they had to use a little elbow grease but it isn't bad. i'll try to remember to take pics and show you what i mean today

Typically, yes.

You can go the extra mile and put other types of adhesive but that will be on you. The spoilers usually only come with 3m double sided tape. Keep in mind, though, that these are pro strength tape and REALLY stay on there.

I just sold my roof spoiler and it took me almost an hour to take it off. If you prep the surface with rubbing alcohol, 3M heavy duty tape is no joke. It's not going anywhere.
