Are the replica roof spoilers any good? Anybody have experience with them? I've seen ones made out of ABS plastic, which are probably better in terms of durability than fiberglass, but is there a risk of these warping? Also, what adhesive is recommended for installation, but will also allow for future removal with relative ease and no damage to glass? Feedback appreciated.

It depends on which replica you go with. Some ebay ones lift on the corners and some don't. We carry the Hamann replica and the AUTHENTIC RDSport roof spoiler

I Got acs rep trunk an roof sport, I'm sure the instructions come with it, my only advise would be don't over use the glue because if it dries on and comes out a little..it'll be a lots of car washes to get rid of lol
