Default different tC roof spoilers?

So I was bored and started doing a search for roof spoilers for our cars on eBay and ran across a couple that I kind of liked..

I know this has probably been asked before but the only one I ever see anyone ever discuss is the wings west one which is pretty ugly and expensive :/

anyone rocking one of these?

I think the first two are the same.

IMO there are zero "roof" spoilers that look decent on the tC. Mostly due to the fact that the tC does not have a painted roof. So if you get a color matched one, it looks out of place stretching across the all black of the roof. Even a plain black one would look odd b/c it breaks up the lines of the car...

I'm thinking since FM is a darker color it won't look as off as it would on a lighter color like what ack was reffering to.

As for the 3 posted above, I think #2 is the most promising. $54 though.

I have the 3rd one it'll be going to the paint shop along with my lip kit and lip spoiler(hatch) to get painted this week if not next week. I did a test fitment it looks good on it. Once everything is painted and installed I'll post pics up

cool..can you post multiple shots like a straight shot from the back of the car also? My main problem with my decision is the lack of pics :/

Yea no prob. man, I was thinking of getting the Kami spoiler but I decided to get the lip spoiler instead.I think it'll flow a little better with it than the Kami.cause it doesn't stick out as much.I'm still waiting for the spoiler to get to my house to take everything in one shot to paint.

i would think the 3rd one was a good compliment for the kami flush spoiler but the pictures show that the top part is straight and doesnt flow with the curve of the roof window.



if that bothers u anybit, it would for me

Yea, that is what I was thinking as well.

And I agree with you...that angle just isn't doing it for me. I wonder if you could cut the sides so the angle is less aggressive and more streamline with the car.
