V-Style trunk spoiler references?

Hey all, trying to locate this trink lid in black, no carbon for my 2017 G11.

Cant find anything online that looks safe/trusty enough. Any ideas?

I'm sorry but it looks just tragic, even if it was made of pure gold, it doesn't fit the limousine. I like the spoiler but it must be tasteful for such a car.

It does make it look super sporty, do you have a link to yours or is it factory?

Remember that everything must be done with taste, our cars will never be sportscar, our car is the joy of luxury and prestige. That's how it was designed and that's how it should be treated, that's how the suspension was designed too.

Unless it's a G12 Alpina B7....(and yes, it can hang with all the ///M's)..

With BMW aleady outfitting some G12's with M-Sport exterior front bumpers, adding a trunk spoiler shouldn't be too out of place.

Honestly, I can't see my G12 B7 w/o a trunk spoiler.

Even g12 Alpina (I had the pleasure of driving) these versions, it is just a couch on wheels.- (each 7-series)
It's a highway car to leave "everyone" (most of them) behind, but not on the race track.

I agree with you, without I don't like it too ...

The G70 trunk spoiler is less obvious and imho more tasteful. Don't know if it would fit, but the idea is smaller and less protruding.Name:  S1000092-2.jpg

I agree that G11 should look luxurious and not overly sporty. But hey, to each their own.

I wonder how much drag it adds to a car like G11/12 that has very low drag coefficient of 0.24.

Appreciate the links my man, you’re right, I also just need to add a bit of seasoning to my car to increase the flavor profile.

Damn I love the way yours looks, it’s almost like an invitation to stare. Must get lots of attention
