I think the roof spoiler is "too much". I got one and test fitted it but didn't like how it looked. It was not my cup of tea. I also didn't like the fact that anyone at anytime could just pull it off since it's only be held on by double sided tape. But I'm sure others will disagree with me. I just think it's a matter of preference. Just get one and try it out. If you don't like it, just resell it. There a few for sale in the classifieds section. Good luck.

i used the red heavy duty double sided tape from home depot and that thing is on there. no way a thief is just gonna pull it off without a heat gun and some time

for the money..JUN-TW is great for the buck+bang effect.. For me the rear looks more aggressive by how the spoiler resizes the diameter of the rear window. More sporty!!!!

roof spoiler makes the IS look sportier in two ways. one i figured out, one i didn't.

the one i figured out: gives you that lip/shadow just like a regular spoiler does, but instead coming off your roof and not the trunk. (simple enough)

the one i haven't: somehow making the rear window smaller, which it does by taking up a good 4 inches of otherwise glass... that in-and-of-itself gives the IS a more sporty/aggressive stance when looking at the car from the rear

less glass = more sporty/aggressive. how? i dunno

but it does! - roof spoiler ftw!










like I said. I got 3 words for you:


SPORTY!


EDIT: k, just figured it out. less glass = more sporty becuase it make the rear window more rectangular and less square looking. rectangular = wider looking which = sporty

imo our 2IS dont look good having both shark fin & roof spoiler. My model doesnt come out with shark fin so i can choose either shark fin or roof spoiler. roof spoiler would look better

i had one... once.
i thought it looked ok.
but then i was walking back to my car one day, and i noticed it looked different, in a good way

few minutes later i noticed my roof spoiler was gone someone stole it

but it made me realize that my IS looks way better without it
