people have said they fit good enough for the price.

I have seen one in person, ebay special, and it fit ok.

It is ebay though.

ya, I got one of the GP Sport knock off roof spoilers... Ebay. FRP. $40. Fitment was decent, need some minor body work to make it look clean... but imo was worth the price.

does it really stay on with 3m tape or what do you guys do to make it stay?

Pank

not much of a choice besides 3m tape or...well epoxy could work, i guess. Or you could drill a hole through your rear window and run a bolt through it

body shop threw mine on with 3M tape. Works great... no issues.

ya, wouldn't you risk cracking ur windshield?

04-02-2008, 11:33 AM
Yeah.. you shouldn't bolt it to the rear glass for sure. They need an ebay knockoff for s13 coupes now. I'd pick one up. Maybe there is one. I'm going to look now.

lol. if nobody's noticed, sarcasm doesnt translate well on a forum.

drilling a hole and using a bolt is too time consuming. just do what i did and use a nail gun to secure stuff to the glass. it works great.

yes 3m dbl side tape works great its actually hard to take off one person cant steal it it may take 2 or 3

yep my friend has modled side skirts
heres more pics

well was kind of being sarcastic...also i agree drilling a hole seems time consuming but more so kind of unsafe? (glass cracking) plus there would be a hole in your glass when you decide to take it off. but i think i made up my mind and im getting the egay version.:keke:

Is there different sizes? To me DaPCWiz (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=26347)'s looks different from jussjepbrox (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=49208)

im totally for ebay stuff, just make sure youre not buying something that is obviously crap.

ebay version = $40 bucks
"real shit" = $120+

$80 is worth the extra hassle of "making" it fit well.

ebay > throwing money away.

i totally agree with you! i hate when people automatically asume everything from ebay is crap.....just most of it lol

holy shit people, I was not serious about bolting a fucking roof spoiler on.

3m tape worked great. I had to take mine off before to sell it and it took forever(i didnt want to break it)

I've seen some bad bad roof spoilers. I"ve also seen some that look very good. I personally think its a big gamble. You might be lucky or you might not.

lol and i was thinking about putting on my roof spoiler or not because I already have a stock zenki spoiler (not navan). Actually looks okay with two haha.

Just to get mine painted a shiny black. :P

just a heads up - I took mine off yesterday for some work I was doing.... it was filled with water... lol. I think I gotta drill some holes in hte bottom and drain it now.

You fail at eBay.

I have a link saved from watching the auction. The seller has a bunch, and it is exactly the eBay knock off.

He was using the same pics that was on Phase2's site.
