    Hey guys - installed a new roof spoiler that came in over the weekend. I think it came out not bad. I can't wash the car yet to see the full view but will do so this week.

    Took some quick pics to share..

    Keepitsimple --> purchased from ebay - got it painted with color code 202. Very high quality grade of material and easy to install.

    I've actually been looking at that one. Can you take another pic a little farther back from the side?
    For those that like their spine.

    Looks really good! I wish they made a carbon fiber version because I would be all over that!

    It's interesting that only 2012-13 is specified. The roofline should be the same on 2010-11 as well.

    Looking good.

    And yes, I'd be all over a carbon fiber one. Even if they had a carbon fiber one to replace the OEM spoiler, that would be awesome!

    I'm a carbon fiber nut, has anyone covered the rear spoiler with carbon fiber film? I have the film, just afraid to try it, never worked with it that much and don't know if it will stretch enough to fit the curves.

    I have a shark fin antenna installex. You Think I might have clearance issues? How close does the spoiler get to you stock antenna when your trunk is open?

    Xterra72 - good question - there is enough room from the spoiler to the stock antenna. The only I need to be careful of when opening the trunk/hatch all the way. When you let it go all the way it does rub a lot so I am more aware of it when I put groceries in the back to hold the trunk.

    Where did u get your shark fin from? I was thinking of getting one is it hard to install?

    Hello. The two most popular functioning shark fins are the (VG) Visual Garage shark fin and the Beat Sonic shark fin. I have the Beat Sonic and I like it. Installation is simple with a template to get it on straight. Others prefer the VG shark fin because of the OLD look on other cars. Both are nice.

    What did you mean by "old"?

    Is one larger than the other?
