its all in what you like man.. i dont think they look terrible but not something id put on.. if you like it then rock it! just try to picture it with the flow of your car and see if other things will set it off or make it look out of place.. i think the biggest thing is trying to keep the same style throughout the entire car..

The roof spoiler will do nothing for aerodynamics, and will prolly actually hurt it. Trunk spoiler helps some, but is mainly for looks.

i have a carbon fiber trunk lip spoiler on mine. i think it looks pretty good black CF on a white car. its very thin though, just a little accent. the rear roof spoiler might look good on some cars, i would have to see it on there first. i definitely wouldnt do it on mine though but to each his own.

i like the roof spoiler you posted, for some reason though the reiger style dont look that great ont eh B5, as for the trunk spoiler who dosent have one of those. the roof spoiler is maily for looks though, since its really sublte and i have a 12v i wouldnt mind rocking it.

my personal preference are less obtrusive spoilers, like m3 style lip spoilers, if any any all. i dont think the roof spoiler would be too bad, but im kinda debating in my head whether it would look better painted to match the car or cf. either way i wouldnt run any spoiler on my car, but thats because i dont have any exterior mods. spoilers too me are like engine mods. if you wanna do an engine mod, odds are you need supporting mods too. like to pull off a lip spoiler you would need atleast an s4 body kit.
