Default eBay painted roof spoilers.

How do you guys feel about this? Part of me thinks it would look good on black, another part thinks otherwise.

The price is certainly good...but the paint codes doens't match with the Lexus ones so I wonder how that's gonna match up with the original paint. What color is your car?

in this picture it looks pretty nice, but from ebay for $100 you wont get the same quality spoiler as from other companies that sell original ones... I would just save up for a better roof spoiler

I would prefer a roof spoiler that actually sits on the roof...and not the rear glass.

But for the price...i guess its hard to ignore...get it.

All roof spoilers sit on the glass not the roof itself. Never had I heard of a roof spoiler that actually sits on the roof of the car

i'm not feeling it for this roof spoiler...the problem i have with this particular roof spoiler is that the back part of the lip curves upwards. not my cup of tea.

It looked good for a second but after looking at it twice, I'll pass. The way it slopes up on the sides makes it look like crap. The 2nd pic isn't the same one they are selling in the listing. That one looks like a Lexon... which is what I want.

Not necessarily . The UGO roof spoiler mounts on the actual roof on a 2GS and I believe the Lexon spoiler for the 3GS mounts on the roof too.

I saw this a while ago. Didn't like it because it looks a lot like a trunk spoiler.

actually a lot of roof spoilers are on the roof itself. on the 3gs it's not very possible because of the location of the shark fin

but on the 2gs, most of the roof spoilers are on the roof. on sc430, tom's roof spoiler is on the roof

on my ls460l, the wald roof spoiler is on the roof
