Anyone put the bigger OEM or Aftermarket rear carbon fiber spoiler?

**comingabriel** · 10-25-2018 07:47 AM

If so, which did you buy and how do you like it?
If bought online, got link?
Can you post pic's of yours installed?
Trying to decide, OEM vs much cheaper aftermarket.

**Kalani27** · 10-25-2018 10:19 AM

Not installed yet, but initial quality and packaging is great.

Thanks man. But, looking at ones that look like OEM, will see if your seller has that style.
Gotta have more downforce, lol...

This look big from this angle.

Edit: Your style I guess is highkick, what I like is the duckbill.... You seller seems to see that one as well.
How is the material build and quality, 1-10, oem being 10?

**shivaswrath** · 10-25-2018 11:01 AM

With the eBay 10% coupon those eBay spoilers are gonna be cheap!

It seems to be good quality. And was packaged very well. But can’t say anything more until I install. Will post pics.

Just a heads up. these ebay spoilers do not have a clear coat and will yellow and haze over time. I recommend applying a UV protected clear before installing it.

Would a good car wax do the job?

**MikeWolverine** · 10-25-2018 12:54 PM

I bought the AudiSport OEM carbon fiber spoiler from Tag Motorsports. The quality is fantastic, but it's not cheap. You get what you pay for. To each their own.

**Bezlar** · 10-25-2018 01:34 PM

I have a cheap eBay one and now looking for the oem one. If that tells you what I think about cheap one. It looks ok but could be nicer.

Most spoilers I found on ebay, say clear coated, non-yellowing...

I have non-yellowing clear just in case I feel it needs a coat of few.

Same.

The eBay version is craptacular.

**Kalani27** · 10-25-2018 03:20 PM

Oh well I guess I won’t try to put it on then. I don’t want to waste my time. Going to go with oem.

**comingabriel** · 10-25-2018 03:38 PM

Yours looks best quality on ebay. I would put it on. It has a clear coat that wont yellow. Just use a good shop quality adhesive.

It’s usable. Then wait till you can find a deal on the oem.

I’m wrapped, so there will be a small cut out area to cover from the original oem spoiler. I don’t want to put multiple spoilers on as it will likely lift the wrap.

I would definitely go with OEM carbon fiber as the fit and finish is just superior. I have some ebay CF stuff too, but it's all small internal trim.

Just bought this exact one as well. How was the install?

**comingabriel** · 10-26-2018 09:24 AM

"Pure" made spoilers seemed like a great option, but I can't find it anywhere, not even the MFG website.
Emmanuel Design sold it, emailed him, but got no response.

I would suggest the strongest 3M dbl sided tape.
So far, VHB 5952 is the best I can find on amazon.
Will update if I find stronger.
Any help or suggestion would greatly appreciated.

My spoiler is from Emmanuel Design BTW, not ebay. Most cheap Chinese CF parts may look like they have a clear coat, but it is just the gel coat over the CF.

**comingabriel** · 10-26-2018 10:42 AM

The description in post 7's ebay seller states it has been clear coated and non yellowing. I would add some non,-yellowing clear any way. And add some polymer coating on top. Just need to find the best adhesive for it. Too bad I did not buy yesterday, at 10% off. Coulda also haggled another 10 from seller, to further make it an "oh well, no biggie" not such a regretful purchance.

Thanks for the Pure ED feedback. Should, but what went wrong, and how fast? Pics?

Oh shit. Just recognized your SN from the R world! Your opinion is mainly as good as gold.

Edit: everything he sells seems to have the same description. Plus 98.9% rating sucks in my book. OEM it is, just to find a killer deal now.

**purekoryo** · 10-26-2018 04:48 PM

Just installed mine. quality is great, no fitment issues and the tape is pretty strong. Let me know what you guys think about the alignment. Is it very noticeable? It's off by a couple of millimeters. I may take it back off and reinstall it with 3M 5952 for piece of mind.

Looks good, think my oem has a gap at each end.
YES, use the 3M VHB 5952!!!

**Bezlar** · 10-26-2018 08:17 PM

It looks creaked to me.

Creaked?

**purekoryo** · 10-27-2018 06:12 AM

So from 20 feet away the spoiler looks very settle maybe a bit too settle. For now, it looks good, just wish it could have been a little taller longer. If anyone has installed a different one, post up!

I just dont know what creaked means on your install. Crooked, I can understand, and being a joke with the wink. Put the 3M 5952 tape, dont want ya to lose the spoiler by theft of just flying off.

Edit: just looked at my stock spoiler, it has a gap at each end, and looks almost the same amount of gap.

Edit2: can you measure the width of the stock or new tape?

Width is same as stock. The way I installed it it just has a couple more millimeters more gap than the other side.

**twopointohtee** · 10-27-2018 06:30 PM

I grabbed a eBay spoiler and wrapped it gloss black and hit it with ceramic pro. I knew I would not be happy with the quality and I wasn’t. Matches the black optic stuff better anyway

My OEM carbon fiber spoiler is getting put on tomorrow. Will post pics. Cheers.

**comingabriel** · 10-31-2018 05:46 AM

Would love OEM, but can't get passed the cost.

Now, it oem or nothing. My gloss black emblems are now dull flat black emblems. You get what you pay...

**MikeWolverine** · 10-31-2018 03:59 PM

Audi Sport OEM CF rear spoiler installed today. First pics lol car hasn't even been cleaned or pulled out of the body shop yet.

I want one even more now.
Should have come from the factory like that, especially those who have the carbon option.
