Default I think (key word here) that it's more aethetic and looks good. However...

it is as functional as your bigtoe w/ a hang-nail doing 110mph outside your driver side window.

Default What do you mean by functional?

Creates downforce for when you hit 200+ MPH? I have no idea.

Keeps the tailgate a little cleaner? Nope.

Personally, I like the Avant the way it is, although that's a decent looking wing.

I don't believe anyone with the Avant rear spoilers has mentioned any +'s beyond looks.

Default You can get it at LLTek...Was considering buying one myself this summer

I personally only think it has cosmetic function...Just adds a little more something to the back end.

Default mad downforce! Qs: can you see the original hatch top with all

spoiler brands? or is it how this particular one was installed? (i think the zender is adhesive)

anyone know how the audi spoiler attaches?
