Any chance of getting some pictures at some kind of a distance also? It doesn't look that bad

i would say u would need the kami flush mount to make it less noticable and stream with it, cause with just a lip spoiler it will stand out alot

Wouldn't the roof spoiler get in the way of opening the trunk though. It looks like the spoiler would hit the glass from the rear moon roof when the trunk is open.

i'm actually working with a guy (in Walnut, for SoCal people) to make one for the tC. we got a sample in last week, but it looked too duckbill; it angled up too much to compliment the body lines, so he's gona re-do it.
Other than the angle though, fitment is perfect, opening/closing the hatch is no problem. I had the sample on for a bit, but only looked half-decent with the sunroof tilted/open, so it's somewhere in my car.
I'm looking forward to the 2nd sample to get shipped over.

Nice. Would it be something that would go into production? I'd be down for one. I may hold off on the m3 spoiler for that one. Wondering if it might be a little overkill with my kami wing though lol it might compliment it to so who knows.

I have this perfect roof spoiler in mind, i just havent seen one that fits my taste.

My buddy has a S14 with a roof spoiler and a wingless trunk; the ____ looks baller.

Similar to this:

The spoiler i have in mind is color matched, with little or no flip up; more or less just an extension rearwards of the flat top of the roof line.

Maybe 5-7" long

It will probably go into production once we get a sample we both like. the dude def knows what he's doing, he produced one for the sc, and once i got mine and posted up on ClubLexus, he's been constantly out of stock.
I sent a G35coupe his way to test fit a roof visor he was producing for the g coupe, and it looked perfect and the G35 owner loved it. we actually used the g35 one as a base for the tC one since the bodies are more or less similar.
also, I've found lip spoilers really compliment the roof visors, so Kami flushmount may go pretty well with it.
Just as a note, what he makes isn't really a roof spoiler, as much as it is a roof visor, since it's made out of the Weathertech visor-like, darkly-tinted, slightly-transparent acrylic,
so it'll actually go better with the tC's glass roof than other cars with painted roofs.

Just for reference, my SC300

You know, depending on the look, I might be in the same boat. You got pictures dude?

thanks tin, and yeah dave, wes' sc's sick. lip kit, and it'll be ****.
as for eta of production of the roof visor, i'm not sure. it takes at least a month to get a sample mocked up and shipped over. and aurora, i'm assuming you're asking me, but I could get a pic of the one i currently have, but it doesn't look all too great, since it angles up.
i'm not gonna guarantee that I'll have the roof visor any time soon, as it took about 3 months of waiting from the time he took measurements to the time I got the sample, and I'm not even sure we'll be happy w/ the 2nd sample.
i'll definitely be updating sl when i get it in though.

Hey bro,

Given how long you take to get to this point, I'd have to say you have the best interests of the tC owners at heart and want to make something that actually goes with the tC instead of just something that is slapped on.

I wanted to see your 1st attempt because I love seeing teh creative process in the making so eventhough it's not good, it's a start.
