Thinking about getting the Bimmian Roof Spoiler, as it's not a bad price ($250). Anyone have this roof spoiler or know of anyone that has it? Has anyone heard any good/bad things about it? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Purely cosmetic and looks tacky imo.

It's a good price compared to the ACS roof spoiler.

Again just my personal opinion.

So you wouldn't do any roof spoiler, regardless of the company and the cost? Good to know. Yeah, I'm on the fence about it, but I saw bmwboneheads car today and he has the RD Sport one. Now granted, he has an M5, but it just fills the lines of the car better on the top. Keeps it aggressive, but isn't an eye sore. Just fills the car out more. It's not as eye-popping as a rear deck lid spoiler. That I'm not going to do.

I haven't witnessed it in person so I don't know. From pictures, it just looks unncessary to me. I've seen the pictures of his car and I like everything except the decklid and roof spoiler. Too obnoxious.




Hey, everyone has their own opinion. I'm sure a lot of people might like it. If you like it, who cares what I think.

Every opinion matters. As I said...I'm still on the fence about it. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated!

It reminds me of a backward baseball cap.

Roof spoiler is a polarizing mod. Either you like it or not. I'm not a fan myself though I do respect other people's decision to put it on their cars.

Thing is, if your car looks different, it becomes more unique. Eventually people will grow to like it. Most people want their cars to look unique.

I'm SLOWLY growing to like acs decklid spoiler, but I wouldn't buy it.

Your car, your money, and your decision.

Really? I thought they were as subtle as you could get. It's not like a I got a Porsche 911 Whale-tail and slapped it on the back

To each his own. I say go for it cmans. (just remember that this is advice coming from someone that would mod anything that moves
