I'm just wondering, because people would have already been screaming rice like they usually do. I guess not this time because premier members have them.

I am unsure a roof spoiler does anything at all except mess up the aerodynamics of your car all together.



This is one of the few roof spoilers I know that works. It is on the Fiat Abarth 131 Rally. It was designed to actually force the air DOWN the rear window and towards the trunk spoiler.

yeah, now that you mention it, wouldn't the roof spoiler keep air from getting to the rear spoiler??? i don't think that'd help much

These louvers are similar.


I might be crazy but does anyone know where I can get a roof spoiler like this one, looking to take them and do a project of my own with them. Thanks for the looks.

Well you have brought asn OLD Topic back to life, and I'll take this chance to tell you thast Tib looks F... ugly; but that's just me; if you like it, that's what counts.
As for Roof spoilers, I wouldn't qualify THATONE as a roof spoiler, it's more like a rear window sun deflector, I honestly don't think it does anything at all performance/aerodinamic-wise;
plus does KayJay have to mention once again that Tibs are FWD lmao.gif I couldn't resist not to...
