I was thinking of adding one. I'm sure I'll get 5 extra HP with this mod. J/K

I think it looks good.

yea it looks decent, but the supreme awesomeness of that car surely adds to its overall effect.

i can imagine it looking pretty ghetto on the wrong maxima

If your max is similar to the one you are showing it would look pretty good

That's Mikes car. Many of us (not me) have that spoiler. You can get them from Paradox-Systems in full cut or half cut I believe.

His car is my all-time favorite 4th gen...Kingrukus is a close number 2.

I like that roof spoiler. Just ditch the factory wing if you do end up getting it. Just my opinion, but with the factory wing and the roof spoiler, too much is going on back there.

It creates massive amounts of of down force!! ehh just like every other "aerodynamic" accessorie for our cars, it is fully aesthetic.

And I'm with everyone else... It will only look good on the right cars, like VIPmaxima's car (the car posted above)

i have the full size on my car, and i can tell when it rains the back window isn't even wet, well when your going at least 30 or so. i'll take pics and post them to my profile pic so you can see the full size spoiler. I like it, it sets me apart from all the 4th genners in town.

They look good, just make sure you get a fresh roll of tape. Cause after a year of so of hot sun and car washes it will come loose and have to be put on again.

Roof Spoiler

I used 3M Industrial double sided tape to install the spoiler. Sorry about the small thumbnails, i couldn't figure out and didn't want to either how to upload regular size pics. I have more pics but i reached the max of 5 uploads.......Yeah that's the sexy trucker girl on the back, nothing like having a hot chic with you everywhere you go.
