Default Thoughts on Roof Spoilers?

So I'll be installing my coils and rims next week and I'm interested in taking the route for a roof spoiler. I found this one that looks like something I'm looking for:

The Origin one is a little funny looking to me. Or I'm thinking about the ebay ones that look flatter - any recommendations from people that have them?

The ones on ebay are more of a "visor" as they are tinted plastic. Both are ok, but I honestly removed mine. It looks a bit strange when you have the sunroof cracked up, the roof spoiler, and whale tale spoiler all at the same time.

i just ordered this one, I myself love the look of them, but i won't install mine until im lowered on wheels as well. stock ride height they dont look right.


everyone seems to love this one on the boards, also the one i ordered and got free shipping being in the states - 99.95

This

That's the one I was going to order off eBay, but I'm going to have my buddy match it to the cars paint. Nice clean look all together, but yeah putting it on after coils and rims for the whole look

personally i think it really depends on the mods that are on your car, oem cant pull it off as much as kit/wheels/coilovers etc etc

A drop w/ wheels is the rule of thumb for this mod to look good.

I think it looks weird. Very few SC's can pull it off. It looks better on spoiler-less SC's too.

someone just posted up their stock SC with one. it was a red 97+ sc... looked kind of random but i'm sure he's waiting for other mods and just slapped it on first

I'm all for roof spoilers. I want to pick one up myself. If you aren't getting a Megan or Origin style one, please do not order from anyone but HIC. they have it the cheapest and everyone else buys from them and marks up.

HIC style


Origin/ Megan style

I don't really like them, it doesn't look horrible but I prefer not having one.

I ended up ordering the HIC one. I'll put up pics when I get it painted and on. 99.95 shipped as one of the above posters said.
