ABT REAR TRUNK SPOILER (I'm not sure I like it... I need input)

The quality's great but needed a little sanding on the edges. Fitment was great and came with a roll of 3M tape to attach it.

Looks great in my opinion. I feel that it complements the s-line trim perfectly.

[auditd0rk]

I think I'm back and forth because it's not the stock look I'm used too. I'll leave it on and see if it grows on me.

Perhaps not stock, but at least you didn't go all...





The lip you installed is clean and flows with your car. And if you don't like it later on, it comes off

Ha, anyone that does that to this car should have it taken away from them.

I like how it looks from behind but the side view I'm not crazy about. I'll leave it on for a while and see if it grows on me or not.

Looks nice. I bought mine a few years ago from the same seller. They painted mine and I believe it was $89 shipped. Paint is very good, yours is likely better.

I'm seeing more and more people on here that have the same one. I think I'll keep it around for a while. I didn't know they could paint it for me. I had mine painted and it was $75. They did a good job but the $89 sounds better for all of it ready to install.

So I'm on the fence regarding new rims, or just sticking with my rims and getting them repainted hyper silver again.

How it looks now. The rims have almost 6 years of road wear but still look great.


These are the rims I've been looking at and I'm looking for 19x9.5 rims with concave. I have 19x8.5 on it now and wanting to stay silver if possible. But, I'm open for some photoshop with gunmetal rims to see my options.

I really dig the RS4 reps you have on there now -- I have a set of the Hartmann RS4 reps sitting in the basement I'm thinking about putting back on.

The TSW wheels you linked would look great, especially with the larger calipers/rotors you installed. I'd go with gunmetal, but that's just me.

i say keep it. your car looks flawless as is.

[Dub_prime]

I was leaning toward 18x9.5 with my new wheels, but for the hassle with fitment of tires and such I stuck with 8.5.

I really like them too.
I could just go the cheap route and get the same ones to get the 9.5 width and not have to deal with the repainting them. These are the same ones I bought years back before they had the 9.5.

@allroadcorbin check out the vendor he's considering wheels from... your thoughts may be appreciated.

My suggestion re: the wheels is to keep the RS4 set, though. I think they look great on your car, and they're uncommon.

Dear god no. Use Need4speed motorsports or a buy through a local shop.

lol, yeah I know the links I posted are a little high in price but I was just trying to show the rim design. I think I'll just stick with my RS4 reps but I really want the 9.5 ET 35-40 and a new paint job from the road wear.

I'll be taking donations for the cause.

[Dnovakovic04]

I w got some RS4 reps I'm going to be posting soon. They're 9.5s. I'll clean em up whenever I have some time and send nicer pictures. But here they are in some bags.

Yeah they are great and look amazing! I'm just looking at the same ones I have now but in 9.5. Mine now have 6 years of road wear and instead of getting them repainted I might want to just go with a new set with a fresh paint job and the 9.5 width that I want. Obviously sell the ones I have now.

What are you looking to get for the current set?

The same thing I have now, they didn't offer the 9.5 width when I bought these. I want the 9.5 width and it would have a new paint job since they are new so that would be one more plus. I have one little road rash spot and road wear from 6 years of rocks and all that on them.

Sorry, I should have worded that differently; how much are you selling the current set for if you decide to move to the 9.5s?

Edit: Shoot me a PM with the price if that's better.

Well, modbargains.com evidently hires people that are educated at a 4th grade level, I can't even type out the conversation it was so mind numbing.

After figuring out that the 19x9.5 rims I wanted never existed and they have them listed on their site, they didn't know how to fix it or what the hell to do.

This is why I hate people!

Processing a refund is difficult.

Oh no, we didn't even get that far thankfully.

Whew. I've had great luck in the past with Achtuning and PYSpeed. Hope you find something that works out.

Same here but I think this was a good thing. I need an EFR first thing since I already have rims.

Tell me about it. I've been hoping there's a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

Well, I found out where my exhaust is leaking. The left side of the picture is where the HFC is and it comes down into the STaSIS downpipe that is on the right side of the picture. You can see where it's leaking out of and I need a new one to cut out and weld in. Does any one have the STaSIS downpipe they want to sell or know where I can get this part to change out? I think I just need to find a good exhaust shop and have them get the part as needed and weld it in.

[Dub_prime]

Should be an easy fix for any decent exhaust shop.

[The Infiltrator]

Yeah I know. I'm just hoping someone has the downpipe or had the same issue on their STaSIS and can link me the part.

[Dub_prime]

Its just a stainless 3" flex section, nothing specific to stasis, that's a typical failure point on exhausts.

Thank man! I just try and document everything for the next guy doing the same thing, glad I can help where I can.

Parking lot shot just because.


Also changed out my boost gauge filter.


I got my tires put on and an alignment done, the camber was pretty bad and to the point the 15mm was too much so I had to change them out for my 5mm spacers.
