You likely will only get grief from other G8X owners. If you asked this question in a neutral forum the answer maybe different.
Personally I don’t think it looks bad. I would not do it, but also would not laugh at it either. |

There is a reason the rear window is so raked on the G80. Letting the air flow stick to the rear window decreases drag.
The roof spoiler totally defeats any positive effects your boot spoiler is giving you. I can see them on hatchbacks, where the roof spoiler functionally acts as a rear spoiler. However, on a G80 or G82, a roof spoiler increases drag and reduces lift less than with just a trunk spoiler. Worse yet, it increases drag almost as much as a bigger trunk spoiler, but without any lift reduction benefits. Here's a video about how the roof spoiler affects drag and lift . Go to 8:16 in the video Attached is the graph for easy reference. If I were looking to increase aerodynamic properties, it's a waste of money, but I think it looks kind of cool and if you enjoy how it looks then
