MrS:

THANK YOU for posting these pics when you did. I had my Ugo painted last week and went in this AM to get it mounted. I took printouts of this post along with me .

When they lined it up, it's not quite flush with the window edge, just a tiny bit forward. If it was flush, the fiberglass flexed a bit and bowed a little funny because it didn't quite lay flat. Looks like mine is lined up just like yours from the pics!

Very timely....

No problem... I'm glad I could help.. I knew a few people just got em in so instead of waiting for the questions to be asked I'd cut to the chase.. But as far as it not fitting at the end of the roof... I did mine myself and that was the best place to mount it.. Plus, it was a pain in the butt to get it even since I was doing it alone.. If you would have seen me while I was doing it you would of been rolling on the floor.. I was laying down on the trunk and rear window, swearing and getting very annoyed that it wouldn't go on right.. But, I finally did it and IMO it didn't comeout half bad... Dave, when you get a chance post some pics, I'd love to see it on your already beautiful GS...

Looks good MrSypher. I had my wife help me line everything up and it helped alot. Mine looks just like yours. My spoiler does bow just a bit too but I think it has to do with the way the spoiler sits on the slightly curved roof. Looks good though. I think that the UGO looks better then the L sportline. Nice work MrSypher. I love my roof spoiler.
