I had envisioned it on the window for several reasons.

1. I thought putting it on the roof would look too tall.

2. Most people put their XM antenna in that area of the roof. Look around and I know you don't want an antenna on top of your spoiler.

3. Keep it low profile and down on the window will create less drag resistance and possible wind noise.

IMO!!

OK people, if we get 4 more I think we can get them rolling on pricing and defining the design. Join now or miss being one of the first.

Lead, Follow, or get the hell out of the way!

I understand your concern but but I've spoken with the BMW and Lexus people and they have a lot of 3M tape adhered roof spoilers. Fastening the spoiler depends on the design. If it's off the roof and very low profile maintaining the side roof line, it should not be a problem.

What is also very important is surface preparation, outside air and surface temperature. I know when I went to remove my body kit it took all the strength I could muster to pull it off, even with lighter fluid. :lol:

Thanks for the input.
