I did some searching to no avail.

I am thinking of throwing a roof spoiler on my E55 and want to know what brands are out there. I see plenty of affordable pieces on ebay, but question the fit.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated (esp. from those who have roof spoilers currently).

Also, if you wouldn't mind posting pics of your roof spoilers I would love to see them, my car is silver w/out pano.

TiA!

I got the $60 ebay unit and the fit/finish were great...body shop mentioned it being better than the $300+ trunk spoiler.

Do you have a pano roof? If so, I think that it looks better without the roof spoiler. But that's just my opinion.

+1 no names, but spent $750 W/shipping for roof & trunk spoilers.
Did not open them till I got to body shop cause they were painted and did not want to risk damage. Well at the body shop we had quite a shock, twisted warped just over all junk. Luckily I got my money back, I did sweat that. So the bad ones are out there make sure you can return painted ones before you buy, and use a method of payment you can reverse if you too get junk pieces.

Thanks for all the responses. I am undecided as to which route to go with this one. On the one hand, I'm not much of a modder so I don't want to spend too much money on the piece. But on the other hand, I want the piece to fit smoothly.

I bought the trunk lip from Eurotek and while it looks great to the casual observer, it really is starting to bug me how the piece doesnt fit snug against the trunk (this is not to suggest that I am unhappy with it, I only paid $80 and I def got my moneys worth, and then some).

I tend to be a little OCD about things. If NGS_E55, or anyone else for that matter, has a link to a great fitting cheapy, please shoot it my way.

Thanks again!
