Default Zender spoiler vs. RS6 spoiler vs. M5 spoiler

W/ the recent threads about M5 and RS6 spoilers being purchased, I don't recall ever reading anyone inquiring about the Zender spoiler (the one I have below) from LLTek. Not sure if it's just too pricey ($366 + paint + S&H = over $500) compared to the RS6 and M5 spoiler or if it's just not too attractive a style to most people.

I've been curious for some time now on what everyone thinks. Feel free to tell me your opinion or rate it on a scale 1-10 (1 = worst spoiler ever / 10 = best spoiler ever). Personally, I'd give it a "9". I like the unique styling and not too many people have it (or am I the only one?). Thanks for your input.

Default Re: Zender spoiler vs. RS6 spoiler vs. M5 spoiler

i dont like how it interacts with the 4 ring symbol, i think it just looks like its completely aftermarket. personally, i have the RS6 spoiler, ive seen your spoiler before but i just dont like it when a spoiler interacts or has to "go arond" logos or emblems. i do have to say its not TERRIBLE though, its not some big ridiculous aluminum wing or anything, on a 1-10, id give it a 4.

RS6 spoiler = 10
M5 = 8
Zender = 4

Default Can I use negative numbers?

j/k

I had a Zender on my B5 Passat. I really liked the look.

On the A6, however, my feeling is that even the RS6 spoiler is too much.

But it doesn't look tacky or out of place and everything is subjective!

I give it a 5.

Default If you can't say something nice....

Sorry. I think it looks well made, but it is way too much "stuff" and it seems to be all surface area and no wing. I give it a "5"

I'm way biased, but I think the M5 is a "9" and the RS6 is a "7".

Default Yeah, the aluminum wings are the worst spoilers ever, IMO...

I see what you're saying. I fel the opposite though and liked how the wing fitted around the rings.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion.

Default Sure you could use negative numbers... =)

Yeah, I figured the Zender spoiler is more aggressive than the RS6 and M5. I liked the unique styling (and wanted to stand out vs. other A6s on the road). I guess it worked since it seems I'm the only one out there who has it...LOL!
