Default spoilers

Has any considered the rear spoiler for the A4 B8?

I am looking into the following:
-A4 rear spoiler (factory or aftermarket repro)
-A4 front carbon fiber lip (found on eBay)
-Audi rings appliqué (silver)

later, I am looking to add:
Stasis A4 2.0 Touring Edition

I have a 2012 A4 brilliant black.

I went with the Rieger trunk lip spoiler instead, as it is much more subtle and flows with the lines of the car.



Lots more images on my flickr if you're interested.

The Rieger trunk lip spoiler does look pretty sharp.
Does it use double sided tape, or was drilling required?

by the way, the only extras that I have done so far are:
-160GB black iPod to go with the iPod interface.
-Huper Optik cermaic window tint
-Escort Solo S3 radar detector
-K&N air filter

They supply liquid adhesive (betalink, IIRC) but I chose to use the thinnest 3M double sided tape available at Kragen. It has held great over the past 3+ years.

I am a fan of the Rieger trunk lip spoiler myself. Any suggestions on where the best place to get one might be?

I got mine from K1 Motorsports in LA, but not sure they're even around anymore. Here are 2 sources I found with a quick google search:

That is one of the nicest looking B8s I have seen. Great color and love the wheels. Question though, from this angle, did you change the rear deck lid to the S4? I cant tell if you did that or the spoiler adds that look to it. Thanks

Nope, that's the spoiler. It gives the trunk edge a nice raised appearance without looking overdone, IMO. Thank you for the compliment!

Yeah, thats what I meant too! Its not like those wheels look good or the contrast between the silky grey exterior and dark tinted windows draw you in or how the drop sits perfectly around those 19s and then there is the backend, with those twin tips and the Reiger spoiler Too bad he couldnt get a better picture of it too, looks kind of dirty in this photo.
