I'm toying with the idea of a roof spoiler for my IS200, you know, the small lips ones on the top of the rear windscreen.

Can anyone who's had one comment on something though - does it suck up dirt onto the rear windscreen ? I had a car once that did, and it was a right pain because the rear windscreen got dirty so quickly, and the IS200 doesn't have a rear wiper to clean it when you're driving !

I quite like them, but only if they're small and subtle. Just talking about the lip spoilers here, not the Evo-alike vortex generators (which I don't like).

No, but if I convinced myself I needed one, I was going to make it a mission to find one. Maybe I'd fail though ! :laugh:

I think this roof spoiler is pretty similar with what you are looking for mate:

Thanks Dimis, looks like there are several on eBay US, including plastic ones, fibreglass and carbon.

I would have thought fibreglass would be fine for one of those, unless it was really really badly made. Though I'd still prefer plastic, personally.
