Between $75 and $100 shipped is what I was told. They're not in production yet though. I also took some daylight pics today. Link is below.

Heck, I'd pay that without even blinking.

For context, right now Stillen's Sedan roof-wing is $189.50.

Awesome! The unit I have was measured correctly. We determined that there was an issue with the mold, as the passenger and driver's side just flat out don't match. Hopefully with your measurements, and the new knowledge of the mold being off, this thing can get wrapped up.

What measurements... the length end-2-end between the tape on the underside? What length did you send them? Mine is 43 1/16".

As far as I can tell, I don't have issue with the shape of either corner, but with the wing being black maybe I'm looking at it with less of a critical eye.

Yes. Same car.

If you look at the first set of pics I posted, you'll see a side that looks like it's not long enough. Well that's not the case. The spoiler fits flush at the lower corner, but starts to angle away from the pillar. The passenger side doesn't do this.

After further review and pictures, I have decided to back out of their prototype testing and will not be sporting a roof spoiler after all. The rear end just looks too busy with both the oem rear deck lid and the shark fin antenna. Thanks guys for your cooperation in sending HappyBuyitNow information. Good luck.

Change your mind once you had a prototype to play with? Well, I get that. The things you're not liking are the very things that concerned me about the traditional roof wing, but I'm somehow OK with on this design; being more of a roof extension than a wing, and in black, like trim.

Thanks for playing, bat6wc!

I don't know if you remember but we did talk about it in Binghamton, after Kevin left and we went to that applebee's right nextdoor, and after we got out I'm pretty sure we talked about John wanting a roof spoiler and that it actually would look pretty good gloss black for contrast. If I was to get one, I'd get one in gloss black as well, to contrast well with other black accents, (grille, headlights etc.)

Looking good John.

I think I recall that conversation. It probably went something like this: "If only someone made a low profile roof wing..."

And here it is.

Nice! Make sure you post some pics once you get it mounted.
