Roof spoilers? Is it too much?

leoni86 · 03-16-2013, 02:52 PM

I've come across a few cars on here I seem pics of with them, they don't look bad but is it coming to that point of it being too much? I dunno what's everyone's else's take when they see a car going down the road with th?

I ordered my car with carbon spoiler and front lip on a M-Sport so I dunno if that's going to ruin the overall look of it...

I've been looking for a CF Roof Spoiler. I have the CF BMW M Performance Rear Spoiler. I've seen them on non F30s and I like them. Have you seen any for the F30?

leoni86 · 03-16-2013, 05:55 PM

No I've only seen painted ones...I also wanted to say I have AW exterior color and I do plan on wrapping the roof in black so if I add a spoiler do I paint it black or white or what...

I'm not a fan. Probably only because it doesn't look OEM, and leans towards tuner. So if you want to differentiate yourself from the OEM look then do it. But that's just me.

What brand roof spoilers are there, and what are the differences?

There is a roof+trunk spoiler set on eBay for 200+shipping painted, really tempted!!

Long trans really looks cool imo

I just put these roof and trunk spoilers on my car yesterday. I feel the roof spoiler is subtle & seperates me from the rest of the F30s in my area.

Looks great! Could you share info of the spoilers: seller, etc? Thanks!

wdeerfield · 04-17-2017, 09:45 AM

Ive been thinking about one as well. Any more photos of them? Had one on my e46 and e90 to distinguish myself from others since bmw now ships all their f'n cars with shadowline and black kidneys to the two dealers in my area.

ahero4eternity · 04-18-2017, 08:26 AM

Much downforce needed.

insanecoder · 04-18-2017, 08:52 AM

You already have msport, front lip, spoiler.. already shifted towards sportiness
why the worry over a lil tiny roof spoiler?

MrF30 · 04-18-2017, 10:19 AM

Roof spoiler isn't too noticeable or distracting. Just get one if you like it. The thing is cheap too.

How did you attach the roof spoiler? Did you just tape it or did you use glue as well?

It was supplied with glue but I chose to use 3M mounting tape. Purchased two rolls of 1" x 48" at Home Depot and was able to cover the entire mounting surface from end to end perfectly.
