Kakumei roof spoiler ??

I have an 03 sedan and got a kakumei roof spoiler for the sedan (or what was claimed to be) from a member on here back some time ago.

It was sitting around in my storage for the longest time and I finally tried to test fit and the width is a little short like maybe half an inch. I am placing it on the right spot starting from the top edge of the rear windshield.

My question is does anyone know the dimensions of the coupe rear windshield, is it just slightly smaller than the sedan? I am wondering if the spoiler I got is actually for a coupe.

Hope someone can answer my question, thanks!


Here are some pics:

Kakumei never made one for the coupe to my knowledge, post a pic of the actual spoiler. Might not even be the right one, could be a stillen.

I have a Kakumei roof spoiler & it's shorter than the full length of the windshield. I centered it more so that the spacing looked somewhat even on both sides. If you center it... then it doesn't look so bad

I think if you center it, it won't look so bad. You can't really tell there's a gap unless your up close. If you don't center it then it looks off because one side is flush & the other side has a gap IMO

Thanks for postin a pic of urs crazyasngirl...I'm not sure if the gap was around the same as yours or a bit more when I tried centering it but I wanted it to be perfect so decided not to install it.

I thought the kakumei would have perfect fitment, maybe it's an ebay knock off or something.

I am wondering if it will fit a coupe but haven't gotten a chance to test fit on one. If anyone in the Toronto area has a coupe and can help me test fit let me know. Otherwise I'll prolly be stalkin someone with a coupe the next time I see one in a parking lot or somethin haha

Well first off coupe roof spoilers dont fit sedan roof spoilers. Second the Kakumei doesnt cover the whole windshield, I know because I have one lol. Third, if you had centered it to begin with it would look much better,im not sure why you didnt. It's really not that far off, I'll see if i can dig up some old pics.

EDIT: Here are some old pics i found
