Installed roof spoiler--pics inside. Opinions??

Not sure whether I'm going to keep it on or not. On the plus side, it was cheap and it sorta adds a bit of sportiness to the sedan. Also, it kind of echoes the lines of the new spoiler on the trunk.
On the down side, it sorta takes away from the clean look of the G. Anyway, onto the pics....sorry for the cell phone quality...

I like it better than the trunk spoiler tbh. I feel like it sticks out too much but the roof spoiler seems just right

If I am not mistaken, those are the ebay roof spoilers which come prepainted for dirt cheap (made in china). I really dislike how the roof spoiler flares out like that. I think the Ravspec ones are the best ones out there so far (only $99 shipped unpainted). Stillen ones are nice too with a bit of a flare on them as well but the flare on the Stillen ones flow MUCH better than the ebay ones.

IMO ditch that roof spoiler and retain the clean look or go with the Ravspec one which is much more subtle and clean looking.

I have the same trunk spoiler, just havent put it on yet. I think the roof spiler doesnt flow well with the trunk spoiler, because of the up turn on it. I think if you didnt have the trunk spoiler, it would look better alone. Just my .02.

I think its too much.. I like the trunk spoiler more. (and it seems more permanent at this point)

Seems like you are getting a mixed bag of answers.

Thanks for all the input guys. It does look a bit better in person, but I'm not a big fan of how the spoiler curls up either. However, I think it was about $70 for it prepainted on ebay. The paint looks perfect too! But, Ravspec would've been a better choice in hindsight.
I'd probably pull it off, but I have alot of silicone holding it down and I'm not looking forward to tackling that mess anytime soon!!

It looks okay IMO. I'd put it on but I rather there was one that didn't have so much flare.

looks good I think the trunk spoiler looks alot better then stock and it challenges the angles at which you have taken pictures at if that makes sense. Overall tasteful, now some deep lip rims would really give this car swag.
