Overkill? Rear AND Roof Spoilers?
Just wondering.
I've got the rear spoiler and was wondering how many have the rear roof spoiler as well. Is it overkill to have both? |

Yep! I still consider it overkill regardless of the 3-series designation (...E36, E46, E90, etc.). But to each their own as modding is simply about preference. |

i think it doesn't look too bad if your car is heavily modified.

I like the both which is why I ordered both.
At first however, I must admit that I wasn't feeling the roof spoiler but it definitely grew on me.

I aready have the OEM deck lid spoiler on my car, and I just bought the ACS roof spoiler. I havent yet installed the roof spoiler, but i'm worried that it might be to much.
I think that i'm going to install it, if I dont like it I can always take it off. It's not like its going on the paint, it only goes on the window.

haha... i havent opened up the sun roof for a while... but then again i've been driving on the hills and on the highway lately so opening that up would just let in leaves and dust...
but yeah IMHO thats why i had that other thread asking for a picture of a car w/o the deck spoiler but w/ the roof spoiler... at first i thought that without the deck spoiler, the roof spoiler might look kinda silly... but after a while it looks allright. I guess its just preference as everybody would say...

I see in ksfrogman's first pic that you can see the third brake light, but the camera angele looks a little low. Just curious, when you install the roof spoiler is the 3rd brake light easily seen by other motorists?? (BTW I have been comtemplating the roof spoiler without the rear deck spoiler)

definitely overkill. i resisted the urge to get a TRD roof spoiler for my g9 corolla with a boot spoiler too. i personally feel bmws , unlike jap cars ,cannot be overdone. too much and it looks less executive and classy.

Yeah, here's that thread with pics that just4kickz was talking about.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23665 My car is with roof spoiler, no deck spoiler. Personally, I like it.

Whatever, let's do the poll. I don't think it's overkilled at all. Looked good to me. That's why I decided to buy it last time. No regret.

I'm not a fan of roof spoilers.
