Personally, I think roof spoilers are a waste of money.

What would it do for you? Block the sun out? Make your car faster?

Come on.

Plus, it ruins the beautiful lines of the IS IMO.

good point lol

it seems like its tilted just a little. this is the only pic available, hard to tell? I just thought ppl may like this better than Lexon? I liked Lexon but I changed my mind when I saw pic of Lexon from behind. may be this one's more subtle and better? thoughts?

I asked the OP if it makes the car faster, because I assumed that it might change the aerodynamics of the car, like a trunk spoiler...though I guess spoilers are more for show nowadays.

I didn't ask him that because I believe people should only get speed-enhancing mods.

I like it a lot, but for 300$ it better be CF.

It might be... we need pictures of different angles to judge personally I posted my preference here (2nd picture).

I think we need a shot out from the side.. and personally as it looks now it doesn't look like it moves with the lines of the car. = /

Judging by that angle, I think the Lexion one is a lot nicer.

+1, the lexon seems to flow a little bit more with the lines of the car.

i'm not a fan of roof spoilers, but i think lexon compliments the lines of the IS more than this one... it just seems out of place.
