maybe i missed it but where did you cop the roof wing? i swear i ran through the thread for the 3rd time quickly and didn't see it..

Is that a M3 replica trunk spoiler too?

Just curious

Cool..

Did the roof wing fit good or did it need shaving and trimming to fit? If possible could you pass me a link? I like the roof mounted ones better than glass mounted.

Not sure if i want to go subtle trunk spoiler or JP replica style. I kinda like the real subtle one you got. Makes you notice it more if you are actually looking at it and not so flashy or soon to be "out dated" as some trends go with body mods.

Thats exactly why I went with the lip wing... You so hit that nail on the head...

As far as the roof wing goes, mine as well as most I have seen mounts on the glass... Honestly I cant remember the name of that seller... Its been a while... Did you check the classifieds on here? From my bad experiences, its better to check here first... If I find it I will let you know!
