yellow fried w/ chopsticks and some twice cooked pork; thank you!

I have no idea what they are talking about in this thread! A wing is a wing and sometimes called a spoiler based on shape. Maybe I'm missing something but there are plenty of options available. So I would answer your question as a YES.

Next time alleviate the word 'roof'.

I assume the OP is talking about something similar to this?



I've often been a fan of these subtle lips on the edge of a roofline, Subaru, VW, and Audi have always done very clean attempts at this.

That ones not bad. nice and subtle but the only one ive seen on a first gen 7 was much larger and looked kinda ridiculous

Seeing as the 1st gens don't have a significant problem with airflow over the hatch surface, this would be allowing form to interfere with function.

Ahhh we have an answer- I have not seen any examples of this type of lip near me. Never seen one on an FB at all. Good luck with the searching though.
