I'm Chinese so that I can read on "TaoBao" platform, I've tried to help you guys to find the similar product in "Alibaba" online platform, but unfortunately there only got 2008-2016 A5 model's spoiler.

As for the Taobao one, I've researched this and it's next to impossible to buy and have shipped one of these if the seller doesn't specifically participate in Taobao's "world" shipping program. Also, you have to read / write Chinese pretty much to use their site. I'm investigating now if I can have a Chinese colleague help me to buy Galvin's spoiler and ship it to my company's Beijing office (at essentially < $100, it's gotta be something I can get sent to me from there still within a reasonable price....)

I contacted this seller to understand if this actually will fit the B9 2018 Audi S5 Sportback. Almost every one of the spoilers on eBay or Alibaba are for the B8.5 A5 Sportback, which wasn't sold in the US. This one is also pretty pricey ....

In the rest of the world the new-to-us A5 was released in 2017 and is considered a 2017 model. Probably only the goofy US has "2018" cars released in 2017... lol

"Hello, friend
We are very sorry that this product is not suitable for your car (2018 Audi S5 Sportback)。
Nice day
Linda"
Galvin tells me the Taobao seller only speaks Chinese, so not very many good options here.

But. you have an s5 right? Do you want to take something bigger?
I'm searching for the stock spoiler of the s version, but impossible to find it. I will ask audi to know if they sell this as a separated part..
