Default Do you have a pic showing the car from the front? Could you post it?

I'd like to see the front spoiler as well. Try using Microsoft paint to see if it would look better painted...that's what I'm trying to do right now.

Default It's a bit much...I think most of us here go for the understated and more elegant look as opposed to

the more in your face, "let's go racing now" kinda look. In all honesty these wings do little for street cars...often times they create more drag then they do any beneficial downforce. I mean think about the way it's mounted...if it made any real downforce it would probably be puttin' the hurt on your trunk lid say 300 lbs or something like that spread across 6 sq inches of mounting surface makes for 50 PSI...ok so maybe it wouldn't damage the trunk...

Anyhow you asked for peoples opinions...so here's mine, I don't like it...but it doesn't matter what I do or don't like. You're the one who has to drive it...so ultimately it only matters how you feel about it.

Default Good point, it does look a little too big...

My friend had a silver A4 and turned it into a BTCC replica with the rear wing and front spoiler. His car looked sweet, but I don't remember his rear wing being so big.
