Basically I want to see who has a roof spoiler and get some feedback. Which one looks the best? Can I find one in carbon fiber? I can't decide whether I like the look or not, but have gotten some suggestions from a few car buddies who think it might look pretty good and I kinda agree.

I will edit this thread as I find more options.

[Cobrakiller08]

I agree with you on the one that you like I may get me one also thank for the posting.

[ThirdStrike]

me no like ... none of them

Yea, although I went back to the ad and it says 02-04 models so I guess that's not gonna work out..

I really want a carbon fiber one. Are there any in existence? Search came up with nothing.

[RolledMySTi]

That first car is ricetastic. I mean wow. Only the APC catalog has a more riced out car. I'm not too sure on the roof spoiler. It's probably because all the examples are on bad cars.

[RuS4ty]

A buddy of mine has one and it looks decent (IMO). From the back I like the way it narrows the window a bit. Ill see if I can find pictures.

[AudiBoy808]

Here's a pic of my custom one.







I also have a DTM Autohaus CF one. Was going to use that one but decided to just use the custom one.

That one from the link, the guy is from RI. His sn is 317ssayzarc

[Europowerhaus]

LLtek sets there cars up ricey, if you put a decent roof spoiler on a clean car they look good, get one, they slim the massive rear window down some

[S4 in_lowplaces]

I have the reiger, I like it. its really completly diffrent when you see it in person.

[lsc2g]

Yup that's the dtm one. That's the one I have. I'll PM you with what I want for it.

I anxiously await the PM

In the meantime let's keep the thread going. Post pics of your roof spoiler setup!

[317ssayzarc]

got your pm, im actually selling mine btw...

not sure what they go for but i have a reciept that came with the car that says 3xx.00 before shipping...

these cf spoilers from dtm tend to have the clear crack over time... if i was going to keep mine id sand it down and re-clear it... id let it go for retail for that service and much less if you want it with the cracks in the clear...

I'm not sure about the look. Must see one on a car from my eyes.

[S4BUTR]

I picked up the Rieger from LLTEk looks great. Pm me with ur email if you want pics of it, def clean looking.

[NastyNogaro]

^ I'm actually going with the DTM Autohaus CF one.

How are you guys applying these to the car? 3M tape? Whats to stop the roof spoiler from flying off at higher speeds?

[archimense]

I have the Reiger one. I've had lots of complements on it from all types of people.

Although I have now had it glued on twice now. The thing keeps coming off!

Ah, this scares me. Anyone know a real good adhesive for these spoilers? I just bought the uber-rare DTM autohaus carbon one and I don't want it flying off and shattering into a million pieces.

Suggestions?

[NastyNogaro]

Bump, anyone have input on the best way to secure the roof spoiler to the car?

It took a year to come off mind you. I usually just check once a month or so to see how tightly it is secured.

Hey Nasty, If I were you I would have a body shop do it cause the previous owner used black silicone to hold it on there. You might even want to lightly epoxy it down so yeah it don't fly off. I already have 3m tape on one side getting this to fit I think is a 2 man job. When you get it you'll be able to see some traces of the silicone where it was mounted. Thanks for the purchase I'm sure you'll love it. I hated to sell it but I figure at least someone will be putting it to use. I searched for years to get this.

Thanks,

I had the body shop do mine twice. They used black urethane adhesive, which looks like silicone. It is the same stuff that is used to glue windshields to the body of the car.

[NastyNogaro]

Urethane adhesive, interesting. Any idea where I can pick that up? I would take it to a body shop but I mean it's just a roof spoiler.. can't be that hard to install. Advice?

[BastardS4]

roof spoilers are gay.

You should just be able to buy "windshield adhesive" from any auto parts store.

nobody asked for your input bastard S4, but thanks for the humble opinion

Arch: Any recommendation on brand names for this windshield stuff? It should do the trick right? Anybody else have experiences with it?

Sorry for the questions, I just can't see paying a body shop to do something me and a friend can do, just need to know the right stuff to use here.

I just glued mine back on this weekend with:
-Pro Form PF608 - TPO Adhesion Promoter
-Pro Form PF225 - Black Fast Cure Urethane Windshield Adhesive

I just picked it up at a local auto parts store. Seems to be attached better than the last two times I paid a body shop to do it.

roof spoielrs and rear trunk spoilers take away from the clean lines of our car

Every B5 S4 looking the same is boring.

[NastyNogaro]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I don't like the way it looks, I'll sell it. I like to try new things every once in a while. I think it adds to the car, takes away some of the rear window and gives the car a sportier look.
