You cant clean under it, seeing as its taped onto the rear windshield. Unless you mean the back of the spoiler that arcs over the windshield, which is easy to clean. The front is also easy, just get a stool or something and clean the front.

Their listing says 2006-2010....I'm a IS newb...I'm guessing it fits on the 2011?

Also they don't have Ultrasonic Blue listed....did you just email them to get the color?

What do you mean? If you're looking for the one from oem.thing, just put in the SGM color code when you order it - 1G0. I should be receiving mine in the next day or two.

it will fit 2011 model.

i would suggest get it unpainted and have your local shop paint it.

Do these stick on the roof or the actual window? If it's on the window can you see the 3m tape when you're looking from the rear view mirror?

Thanks that's what I figured at first but wasn't sure. After seeing this thread was thinking about getting one but I'm not sure if I would like the tape being visible like that. Is there any way of installing it a different way to avoid this? Thanks again.

I don't see any really plausible way of installing it without the double-sided tape. I have never even noticed the tape while looking through the rear view mirror, as it's pretty high up. The few times that I've sat in the back seat, I've never even had a reason to look that high up on the windshield to see the tape either...

You won't notice the tape in the rear window. You'd really have to be in the back seat and looking for it to see it. I have window tint too though, so it may be hiding it more than on a untinted window, but its pretty high either way.

So where would you guys suggest buying a roof spoiler if my car is Starfire Pearl? I want it to match correctly.
