judging interest - rear roof spoiler?

do you guys think a rear roof spoiler would look good on the new g? I'm thinking that since alot of stuff comes late to the sedans, that I'd leave an impression on the g35 community. I'd be willing to be the first to make one for the 07 g-sedan. looking for a donor car. would receive the 1st production one on me, just have to pay to get it painted.

I'd have to say no - but it would have been nice to see a lip spoiler off the rear deck instead of what's available.

I would be potentially interested. Do you have any pics of what it might look like....for example a pic of one on an 06?

the biggest thing would be
a)getting a car to do it on

b)producing them with out needing a whole lot of capital

I'm a huge fan of the roof spoiler. Ever since Toyota put them on the 1982 Supras and Celica GT-S.

I had a GT-S Corolla Hatchback and put a sunroof wind deflector over the back window. It was a poor-man's roof spoiler but actually looked very cool.

I wanted one for my current Audi A4 but could never find one.

So, count me in as well.

One concern: Will it interfere with the GPS antenna?

Rear deck spoilers & front lips are great if done right.

JMHO..... but I'm not really a fan of these on any car.
To me it just breaks the transition of the lines.... no need for another focal point.

But if it's what you like , then great... go for it.

I haven't seen a pic of a 07 g35 with the gps but I can't imagine that it would interfere. If it does there will be a separate version because I have a feeling many are going to be going with navi on their G's
