Default I also now see that the spoiler is body-colored w/o Sky, and black w/ Sky

I like the body color spoiler I added to my S4, but I also like the sunroof - hmmmm...

It's basically body colored either way, as the closest "body" on O/S is the roof, which is black.

Default understand what you're saying, however w/o the spoiler, that part wouldn't be black

So it seems odd to cover the &lt;silver&gt; body color with black. Here you can see that section is silver on this car that has no spoiler but does have Open Sky. I would have expected a spoiler would just change the shape there, not the color.

If you're a bird, I can see the continuity of the black roof, however from human heights, I would have preferred the body color. Not the end of the world, just an observation. I guess I'd just like the spoiler to stand out more.

If your rear window is tinted, it will be less obvious and look nice.

Default Yea, the 'nub' on the non S-Lines with Open Sky would be body color.

But I think the S-Line looks wayyy better.

Have you narrowed down your color choices yet?

Default The white took me off guard - I like it :) Also Avus and Ocean...

I never thought I'd consider a white car, but those photos of the white one look great. That car has some mods, is super clean, and good photography - I'm trying to separate those things (which could apply to any color) from the white color itself. Nonetheless, I'm considering white now. How different is Ibis and Artic? When I went online last night to see more white cars, I only saw Artic White. I'll have to look closer into those...

I like Avus - I want to see more, and in person...

I like the color of Ocean, but I don't like the look of that car in that photo. I think it's because it's not an S-line / Spoiler. I'll look for more of those as well.

<img src="http://www.casas4.com/images/variousA3colors/ocean.jpg">

I don't normally like red all that much, but some of the photos I've seen look quite nice - others not so much. So it's still in for consideration.

Default What part of NC are you in? BluDemon (Chris K) has an Ibis RS4 - its one of those colors

that looks incredible in person.
