Ok so I ordered a replica roof spoiler off ebay and like the 75% of people I talk to it did not fit the car correctly.. on ebay they claimed it was made out of ABS and according to my bodyshop is t was not and could not be shaped.. The plastic did not feel like ABS so I agreed with them. Anyhow I don't like the way the AC or hamann roof spoiler look at all.. Does anyone know if any "real" company makes a roof spoiler that looks similar to this one...



I was thinking Racing Dynamics did but it seems their spoiler also has a cutout for the third brake light.. which is the main reason I don't like the AC one.. I want it to be straight across like this replica... The replica looked badass for the 10 min's the double sided tape actually held it in place with no gaps.. Thanks in advance guys.

PS. I know the pics are not of an e60.... I did buy the right one though

Not sure what people are saying about issues with their roof spoilers, but mine works and looks perfect. 100% ABS plastic and I paid $50 on eBay. $100 to have it painted and mounted at a local shop.

This is the exactly what I have from the this exact seller.

ACS Roof Spoiler

My roof spoiler is not ABS plastic and it fits good, maybe yours got bent or something in shipping. Mine will not form to the glass, come to think of it I wonder why it looks so good on there if it isnt fit forming
