For those with roof spoilers

So i've been seeing a lot of you sedan brothas with the roof spoilers. My only question is, have you guys though about the negative effects it may have on your car's drag? I know our cars roof lines and the overal designs perform very well in aerodynamics with almost 0 drag. With the addition of the roof spoiler, that tempers with the flow of air through the car and anyone thought about it having negative effects whether than positive? It looks nice and I am about to get one, but this is just a question I've been pondering.

Im sorry but I think your over analyzing it too much, I dont think drag is something Im concerned at 65mph, or 10mph when Im stuck in traffic lol I might be wrong, but if there is any effect is soooooo minimal.

^^ i agree, same goes with a rear deck spoiler and only way to be completely sure is going through a wind tunnel test.

I have the ebay one and Im happy with it, I also had the sorona one and it was about the same looks wise. Ebay one is Poly and Sorona is fiberglass. Ebay one is heavier but way cheaper also.
