I haven't seen anything on here about a roof wing. I don't see it's purpose though.

Wow the thread title had me worried...


Haven't seen one installed in person, but I don't think it flows well with the lines of the FC's hatch. They do look good on Golf's and Civic hatch styles, though.

It's not really a roof spoiler.
It's more of a hatch shade thingy.

Its alirght. I think it'd be fine without it though.

Without a rear spoiler I can see its purpose.

hmmm...
I kinda like it....

If you had the actual spoiler with it, it would be a similar setup to the mark 2 supra hatch with the double wing.

I kinda like it. I wouldn't use it unless it actually did something though.

The one Raceonusa offers is a replica of FORESIGHT. It protrudes upwards..... The one we have.....is more like the gray car 87GTR posted......

You guys might like this one more.........it's much cleaner. But yeah guys.........I don't really think it serves much of a purpose other than for looks.
