Default Roof spoiler opinions

I was wondering if you guys think the smaller more discrete spoilers, or the larger more prominent spoilers are nicer??? I am leaning toward the larger wald or Lexon roof spoilers. I was initially looking into the smaller ones like the carson tuned, or even the Toms, but I am afraid they will not even be noticeable

I just added the lexon spoiler on thursday...I like it. If you're going to spend that much money you want it to be a little noticeable. No way to the Tom's I saw pics and that thing is tiny.

Yeah I am starting to think that the toms and carson spoilers are not going to be noticeable. I am going to do the Lexon or wald, or a third one whos name escapes me right now

yea i would say Artisan Spirit, Wald, or Lexon, in that order. I think the artisan sticks out enough, where as the Wald is a bit subtle, and lexon is a bit more flarier. But they are my only 3 choice if i wanted a roof spoiler. i got the wald but i barely notice that thing before lol...grew on me. Get the artisan spirit and ill trade u if u want the wald LOL

I say carson or wald is perfect for your ride I8BMR and it is very noticeable, if you had a kit then a artisan or any other larger spoiler would look good.

I have the Carson (we've talked) and it is noticable.
I felt that if I started to go larger my GS would look remniscent of a late 1980's Toyota Celica Supra. didn't want that.

umm i am biased...

carson tuned and toms are both very small imho, too small for my taste. i want something that's more noticeable. actually wald has size, however it's so flat with rear windshield. that's still my 2nd choice though, if i didn't have the deal on the artisan spirit i'd have gotten the wald

I have the WALD on my 3GS and I love it. I think the look is real nice and it is not over the top.

when I goto tuned I cant find the wald roof spoiler. They only show the wald kit. Did you have to call the l tuned guys directly to get the roof spoiler from wald????

Do they have a roof spoiler that is already painted black (obsidian) that I can buy? And how reliable are these things.. do they fly off the car in strong wind?

as long as you stick it on right, you should worry about the day you take it off than it come flying off
