I wouldn't go for it. It feels like its not for a vw Nb with the harsh lines and less of a curved style. I dont know, something isnt right about it.

Sorry, but thats the impression i get at first glace.

I remember seeing a post where someone bought the SF wing and commented on how nice it was compaired to the BCC wing. They noted how the end caps are made onto the wing and how nice it flowed together for such a big wing. I have a BCC wing and the end caps are removable but it does create a harshness where the wing and endcaps meet.

i found the site the other day, and the wing is pretty much the same look as the bcc wing...but for $150 less
even still, i think $400 is steep, but i can live with it, just as long as there using good fiberglass...

This is being installed in my car as we speak. I should have the car back tomorow and post some pics for you to gauge. I shopped arround when deciding where to buy from and for the price and quality I decided to go with theirs. I have their RSI front bumper and although some of the lines did not match on the bumper my shop was able to match it up. That is why having a knowledgeable installed do work pays off.

actually i dont think you should buy that spoiler, if i remember right, i heard that that model spoilercaused a couple freek accidents on beeles where the driver was goin like 70mph or above and the car lost control. but thats just what i remember it could be a compleatly different spoiler all together

I just drove on the highway from picking up the car after getting it installed at over 110mph and no problems. Actually the car felt more stable with it on. It was also raining and windy. I will post pics up of it so you can decide for yourself.

Weather has been crappy here in the midwest for 2 days now so Ive not been able to get pics taken. Ill try and take some in the garage to see how they come out.

[Yllwtrb]

that looks pretty sweet! are the mounts metal??

[from Margaritaville...]

I like the blacked-out trunk lid. That would look sharp with my limo-tinted glass...

[gilligan]

U'mm.....Maan...Don't even read this ok..its not my style its a little to ricey for me...... It would be sweet if it was a cup car but its not, so unless your gonna go all out cup car style I'm just gonna say it looks ok.....Maaan I suck. Sorry dude.

[Billsbug]

I'm with gilligan on this. Ur lookin' a bit 'Pokemon Beetle'.

IMO there is only one really great large rear spoiler: Caractere.

[Yllwtrb]

They are not metal mounts. Roof will be painted black at the end of the month and the Cup bumper will be installed as well. Sun is out today. I will take some shots and post dem up later today.

[58ragtop]

well, i see it like this, knowing what i know about fiber glass and mold making, the Caractere spoiler is a complete rip off, there is so little designe work and it's a very simple spoiler to recreate for them to charge so much for it, BUT it was my first choice for spoilers until i saw the bcc spoiler, and later found the strictly foreign site. $400 i can live with, for the $550 that bcc wanted for theres, i was ready to bust out my own designe ........ i may still .... that spoiler is just missing some thing .....

well see if your putting a cup bumper on then I say you made an excellent choice.

[dkarmann]

Yllwtrb in the first pic your roof is black then the rest it isnt. Is that photoshop?

[Yllwtrb]

Yes, that was a photshop to see how it looked to help me decide if I wanted to go that route. Once I saw the lid in black it was a given the rood had to go black as well.
