Anyone got a truck spoiler or lip on their B7 S4 Cab?
If so can you post up pictures and details please?
Thanks

B7 has the same rear as the B6, EYE4SPEED has a really nice 3-piece spoiler, hopefully he will post some pics as I can't seem to find them.

There are few other cheaper, ebay-type rear spoilers too. IMO, they don't look good. Caractere makes a very nice one, but much pricier than the other options.

Thanks, that Caractere one is really nice, anyone know if it comes painted for the $577?
Any cabrio owners have one on their cars?

No, that price doesn't include the painting. I just got it yesterday by fedex, and it looks great! Very high quality piece. I'll have it painted and installed on my car shortly. Will post pics but it will take a while since it is in the shop and other stuff is also being done to the car.

Looking forward to those pics. I would like to add a spoiler but undecided which one.
Edit - came across this from wetworksgarage. It's $225 painted. They say it's made to fit almost all types of vehicles. I can't confirm,however, but I like the look.

dasHrod - I drove through South Haven this past weekend too coming back from Chicago.
Keep up with the ABT theme and get the matching spoiler. They still have them available from ABT direct. I think it flows with the lines of the rear.

I emailed back and forth with someone from wetworks garage about the nice rear spoiler they offer (picture above). Their site states the spoiler will fit most vehicles...so I asked them first just to make sure it would fit a A4/S4 cabriolet. They didn't know, but offered to take measurements if somneone local could stop by with a cab. as it would be a custom fit.
If anyone is interested (I am, but live in MN) and local to Costa Mesa CA, email or give them a buzz. I would love to have one of those spoilers! They are priced reasonable, small and come painted. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I saw this car at work as I was leaving tonight and I thought of this thread so I took a few phone pics. Is this that Caractere? It doesn't look half bad.
EYE4SPEED-I've been on ABT's German site and ebay.de and didn't locate any. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say they're avail. At ABT's site can't find anything for the B6Cabrio. I'm in no rush to find one. I've also tried searchtempest for a coast to coast search on craig's list. We might be in your neck of the woods(South Haven that is) again at the end of the month for a weekend. Love that area!

I have the Caractere spoiler just being sprayed. Offering it soon on my red A4 B7 S-line but don't know whether to fit it or not.
Will post pics for opinions soon. [:)]

I must say the Caractere spolier looks a lot better from some of the angles in the RS4 pics.
^^^ Awaiting pics, excited to see some more shots.

Sorta reminds me of a can opener (old Supra wings). But it is always best to get what makes you happy.

LOL
I don't understand the can opener reference and to me, this looks nothing like a Supra Wing...

Has anybody tied the carbon DTM lip spoiler? It looks like it may cover the 3rd brake light, not sure on how far it hangs over.

I was told by a rep from DTH that their replica one would not fit on the Cab.
Chris from ECStuning is trying to source a Cab so he can check the fit for me (on an OEM DTM spoiler). As soon as he lets me know I'll pass along the info in this thread for you guys.

the mini spoiler built into the trunk is my fav line on the whole car. Why cover it up?

I think it looks pretty good! How about a shot from the front with the top down?
