OEM+ (subtle) spoiler group buy?

[eswift]

So after spending literally 20+ hours trying to find a spoiler that isn't a wing. Honestly, those highkick, or even the "lowkick" ones are HUGE.

I reached out to Carbon Imports to see if we can set up a group buy and they can do up the OEM+ A4 version to fit the S4.

It's nice and subtle, add contrast to the trunk which i think is what a lot of us want without it looking too "ricerboy" (sorry spoiler peeps!).

*** EDIT *** the linked picture is not EXACTLY what i'm thinking but similar. Just not a "wing" spoiler

Something between this and that rubber lip that ECS sells, seriously, rubber?!

They haven't been known for great customer service, would tread cautiously.

+2. And have you ever seen a ECS wing in person ? its not as extreme as it seems.

Also, they are talking about this over in the KuhlRennsport classifieds post. Might be worth looking into with a approved advertiser on here, less likely to screw you over i would think.

hmmm. good point.

Still hard to believe NOBODY makes a subtle spoiler for the s4 *facepalm*

If we generate some interest i will approach them as well.

I would be in for a subtle lip like that, given a reputable supplier.

No offense, but that A4 spoiler looks very unattractive.

Their S4 highkick/lowkick spoilers flow with the curve of the trunk lip, vs this one which just juts out in an awkward fashion.

I personally have the highkick from Carbon Imports, it's not as big as you would think. The lowkick would be perfect for you IMO.

I have the CF low kick and its perfect [up]

Really? I find that both the high and low kick spoilers look like your trunk is wearing a visor lol. I just want a small "line" of black visible from the back. Similar to the oem S5 or S3 spoiler but in black.

*edit* also they're ALL carbon fibre which just clashes with everything on the car unless you have lots of CF and that's just too "fast and the furious" for me

Little disappointed how many people are into ginormous wings, I did post in the right forum i hope? This isn't www.civicnation.com is it?

I have the lowkick as well, and I will admit i was a bit hesitant based on the pictures alone. Once installed and looking at the final product w/CF mirror caps, it's just right. Perhaps a little too much for a the conservative modder. For those that dont want CF, you can always have a body shop paint it for you. I would love to mold and color match my lowkick into the trunk to make it seem like one piece.

I think you can order the lowkick non cf and primed. To pay that much for CF and paint it, ouch $$

IMO CF would only fit a car if you had a decent ammt of it, mirror caps, diffuser, etc. Not my style but CAN look good, just one CF thing looks out of place imo

Id go for a high-kick spoiler in carbonf group buy

[Morritse]

Carbon imports gets their spoilers from China. Look up "Yandex" brand on Ali Express. They're like $150. EXACT same thing. This being said. They're solid quality. I have one on my car.

So even though eBay said it didn't fit. I emailed the seller, sent pictures of my trunk, and he assured me that it would so what the hell.
