Default I need your opinion on a roof spoiler guys

Man I need to get pics of my car on here first, but try to visualize it. Its a 97 RSP hard top. No spoiler, sunroof, lowered on TT gunmetal wheels. TT calipers painted brembo gold. Ok, I am really on the line on getting a origin roof spoiler. I am not planning on adding a trunk spoiler just like the clean look. Do y'all think the roof spoiler would take away from the clean lines of the car? Oh and if I do get it I would leave it black. I painted my OEM grill all black and the contrast on the RSP looks really good. Thanks for all your input.

I say no roof spoiler. They don't do anything for me. It wouldn't ruin the look of the car or anything but I think it would be cleaner without.

you talking about the little rear window visor things? i love those on wingless cars most of the time. I haven't seen but one on a SC though.

they don't make a car, but they can accent very nicely

I have the Origin which is actually a knock off of another brand. I painted my roof wing to match the car DWP but recently have been considering painting it back to the high gloss black. Roof wings are nice and they do greatly change the flow of air over the car.

Do you have more pics of the color matched spoiler? I think black would be best because it would blend in with the window more.

Here's a picture of mine, not sure if it's Origin or not though. Anyone else make roof spoilers?





Getting some of those paint problems taken care of this year.

I like 'em a lot, not sure how a black one would look on RSP though. Photochop time?

i like roof spoilers... i think your car would look fine with or without... but at least get a frontlip to go with the roof spoiler if you get one

therontom i love how you dont have a rear lip/kit on the rear... looks sweet

I had bought a rear lip but it wouldn't fit properly with the 5 zigen megas so i just left it off. I think it looks fine with just the 97 extensions
