Yes. I Love you.. and Joe (VT). Both of you guys got it when it was deeper. When I went to try to get it, it was nowhere in sight.


Revenge!

So are all of these spoilers only held down with double sided tape? Seems like the tape would let go over time. How about the roof spoiler...same way?

I just ordered mine yesterday and he already sent me an email today letting me know that he has shipped them....that was fast. Not sure if it was already painted or if it only takes a day to paint them. Anyways, should be here next week and I'm going to let the bodyshop install them. Its cold here in MN and I don't want to monkey around with the sealant not holding up. Will post pics when it is completely installed.

No to both.

The M5 spoiler is only one that doesn't actually spoil the car.

I believe they are all stick on spoilers.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again, Vorsteiner spoiler is the way to go. =)

to answer my own "noob" question.....I found AC style, M-Tech style, Vorsteiner (very nice but $$$ ) and H Type (Haman).
Hard to tell by an ebay pic....but I'm kinda digging the H type trunk spoiler....not sure about their roof spoiler though
