Do you not read any posts in this thread? The Chargespeed one doesn't fit SSS models.

Try any Auto body supply store. they will def have it. Or if you have a friend that works in auto body they can def order it for you from there supplier. They can usually get it same day. GL. I was looking into getting one too. But now I'm just going to wait until a better one comes out.

Carbon is nice, but if any of these vendors were smart they would be making these in FRP and pre-painted like they do for the VIII and IX. Rexpeed?? I know you're listening...

I've never liked the vortex generators, I guess it's something that grows on you...

I had to use a heat gun to make it fit properly, because the roof is rounded and this piece is straight as an arrow, but the antenna part still won't stick to the roof, and I no longer have satellite radio signals. I am going to have to reheat it to peel it off, and cut around the seams of the antenna cover, make a trip to the autobody supply to get some 3M tape, and reinstall it to get my Sirius radio signal back. It's disappointing to say the least.

This is what the place that installed it for me did to make it look flush.

And yeah, the fitment is really that bad. Basically the end part will stick up that much without the foam under it.

I think if they used thicker foam it would not stick up as much???
I see where they were going and it's almost there.

Eh I don't care anymore. It's only sticking up less than 1cm now. I'm planning on switching it out eventually for the OEM FQ360 VG, but not any time soon.

Before the foam it was just horrid, though. The fitment is so atrocious I probably should have returned it.

All I can say is the fitment of the VG sucks! but you can still make it look right:
