No. My roof wing is Obsidian Black against a Moonlight White car. Plus, I have a trunk spoiler, and I take better pictures than that.

Finally installed it.

The color matched perfectly. The best part about the spoiler is when I leave early in the morning for work the water from moisture on my roof doesn't run down the back of my window..

Nice! Given the color of your car, somehow I think it looks better fitted when color-matched, as opposed to black. There really is no right or wrong approach.

Look at you in the second pic, all suit & tie. Business Creature, LOL.

With some kind of weird, pink stick-figure on your sharkfin. I have to ask, man...

Thanks... Yeah suit tie look for sure. Never thought of it that way. And as far as the stick figure..... Well I'm a sucker for my six year old daughter (They are called stick-bots) She's say's hey Daddy can we put one on top of the car and I was like Okay whatever.... I did tell her once it fly's off we aren't going to put another one on. Hell that thing has been on there for over 4 months... Lol

Guys just an FYI - to all with the Extreme roof spoiler, I installed mine back in 03/15 and today the two-sided tape on it gave up. I was driving down a highway when someone started high beaming me, just as I noticed I pulled over to see the spoiler was hanging half way on the rear window, so I pulled entire thing off, I didn't want to loose it or even better have it fly right off onto some else windshield.
It may be time to have a closer look at the tape and replace it if necessary. Hope this doesn't happen to you.

Thank

Yikes! Good thing someone was looking out for you. And thanks for the heads-up.

Mine's also been on the car since April 2015. I cleaned and clayed the glass in prep, and used an alcohol wipe buffed dry before the install. A few times since, I've tugged on the wing, and it remains solid. So... knock on wood.

I still love the look of this thing on my car, so if it ever flew off on the highway someday, I'm 100% that I'd get another.

G10, if you're looking for new tape, I've always had good luck with 3M outdoor mounting tape.

John -
Ya, normally i'd be pissed at someone who'd high beam me when i am in the middle lane
I guess you can say that someone was really looking out for me.

Thanks for your advise on the tape, any advise on what to use on cleaning with spoiler before I can re tape it, it has adhesive left over from the previous tape.

Doh! Somehow I read it as him telling you something was falling off you car. Not sure how I got there, though. Weird.

Advice on the underside of the spoiler? Goo-be-gone and some 0000 steel wool?
