Or if anyone is good with photoshop can you assist with showing how this one would look on my sedan?

Strongly advise you to mix it up. In that way, you have more options when planning out a budget.

Not all roof wings are the same, but my god that thing is hideous.

I've personally gong back & forth about a half dozen times with this mod, and each time I research it, the product I keep coming back to is Stillen. IMO, it's the only one that has acceptable fitment and doesn't look cheap.

I've looked at the Stillen but haven't been able to find a vendor other than directly ordering from Stillen. I'm going to give the vendors here a shot and see if they have it and who has the best offer, but if not directly from Stillen might be my best bet. I know the second one I put up is hideous, but just wanted a comparison on the spoilers I've come across. The first one I posted with the non-sport lip is similar to the Stillen as they are both 50mm in width, and they dont poke out as much.

Do it! The non sport lip looks so much better in person than in the pics.

I put mine on a few weeks ago and the only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

It's tough finding good pictures that will give you an idea of what it will look like. It's subtle but it works.

When you go to install you can probably get away with not drilling the holes in the side incase you don't like it, you can take it off easily enough.

Install is pretty easy, no need to remove bumper. If you have ramps you'll be golden. Buy a 1" hole saw and maybe some extra 3m tape.

Do you have any other shots of your car? Like side, and rear shots? Which eBay spoiler is that?

I have the 12 inch resonators ordered and now I'm wondering if I should get rid of them for non res.
Wait until you get the exhaust installed, drive it around for a few months and then assess. Mik3G37S drove my sedan, which has resonated HFCs and the catback exhaust. I waited for about 13 weeks for delivery prior to being installed and to your point - it felt good to wait. You'll appreciate the craftsmanship in the exhaust.

Priorities might be different for you, but in my case I also wanted something that as I cruised around it wouldn't be too loud inside the cabin hence the 18". Also in colder temperatures, the exhaust will get louder.

No love. Sorry. The only reason it kind of works on your car (IMO, Tony) is because your whole back end is already exaggerated, what with that big trunk wing and rear diffuser wrapping all the way around the fenders. But if it were on a more subdued, OEM-ish Sedan, it would look ridiculous.

However, I will say this: props for going gloss black on a MW roof. That choice (body color vs. trim color) is another consideration I've been going back and forth on. There's a good argument for both, although yours is the less common choice.

Tony, I think you might want to give this roof spoiler a look, it will flow right in with ur duckbill trunk. I have it, fitment is great.

finally? damn I wish mine would kick in just now , not as early as it did ! I've been contemplating on a roof spoiler for a while, but if that ever happens, there is definitely no rush...

as to the S rear spoiler, you definitely will love the upgrade from the damn chrome piece( I hate that so much, actually when I picked up the car, I said I would get a spoiler as a first thing for the car- well.. that never happened, it was the SRIs after a week)

and that non sport front lip looks good too, definitely makes the front end stand out a little bit from the crowd.

Crystal White* Pearl not MW

The main reason I didn't paint it is because it is CF like the rest of my kit. But gloss black is still how it looks from far and in pictures.

Starfire Pearl and Carbon Fiber... my bad.

Since this discussion, I've been eyeballing the car and how it would look with the Stillen Roof Wing in gloss black. Actually think I'd like it. So thanks for that.

^ yeah I think the stillen looks good. If you do gloss black it would be a nice subtle touch to your car.
