I haven't ever been a fan of this roof spoiler but with that kit your car definitely pulls it off. Loving it, you've got the drift style down with that wing there too.

When its on the car it is pretty much level with the roof there is very little angle. Also I have no idea how much drag or downforce it create but I do know before I put my GT wing on I was running that with no trunk spoiler and even then with water on the back windshield there was a very big difference in air flow. Up until highway speeds the water would pretty much be untouched with the roof wing there when before it would blow off at about 15 mph. Air flow changed as well. The water droplets show air flow sweeping in from the sides of the car along the window pillars not over the top any more. With the addition of my GT wing that whole area behind my windshield is kind of void of air flow except what sneaks in from the sides of the car. This is only an observation from driving with water on the car and how the water moves. Don't hold me to anything. haha

Not exactly lab conditions but before the roof spoiler :
I used to, on the way home from work. Coast from going 75 the last 1/2 mile to the exit ramp (i.e.: take it out of 5th and just go in neutral). I would almost always (depending on wind/traffic) be right at 60 when I hit the ramp.
Was the exact same after I put on the spoiler. No noticeable difference. Could do something weird with that wing you got on the back though. I'm not an aerodynamics guy. I would venture to guess it's not going to do much, and what it does do probably isn't for the better. I just like the way it looks + rare part. Plus it's mad tyte. Anyone got a spare wind tunnel we can borrow?

I like the look of the roof wing, but wonder if it will look out of place on a car with no rear spoiler or body kit of any kind.
I say give it a try and if it doesn't work out, sell it.

I see a lot of roof spoilers on old Integras and Hondas around my neighborhood, so thats partially why I think they look tacky. I say keep the SCs roofline clean
