In addition to getting new wheels and tires. I've thought about getting a roof spoiler. I believe there are three different types: plastic, fiberglass and I think "composite"? Which one is more durable \ reliable? I ask because I live in South Florida and it gets VERY sunny and hot. I want one that comes painted so I just have to smack it on. I was looking at this http://www.beastpower.com/p/bmw/bimmian-roof/BI-BE60-RS

or would you go for a trunk spoiler instead????

I'm sure any of those materials will withstand the S Florida weather just fine. Most people usually debate about which style roof spoiler to get since there are several out there like RDSport, AC Schnitzer, Hamann...

And not sure if it matters but most people I see that have a roof spoiler, also has a trunk spoiler. But not everyone with a trunk spoiler has a roof spoiler.

I'll have to check out the other names you suggested. Also, I'll look a lil more into the trunk spoiler too. Was just reading the other spoiler thread and I need to make sure I get some 3M goo stuff

I just installed a CF roof and trunk spoiler from JBSPEED and they turned out great, also I used oem betalink glue for the install. The roof spoiler is a acs replica and the trunk is a M5 replica.
