Thinking of getting an LLTEK Type "M" spoiler for my S4...Any opinions or comments on style, price, quality?? Also, if anyone has pics of their S4 with a spoiler I'd like to see em!

Thanks

I think it is AvramD who has one on his nogaro, and posted pics from their meeting in MA. I'm considering it as well. I think it is $429, which seems pretty reasonable.

I think I found the link. There may be a few more angles of it around there...<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/s4/29424.phtml">https://www.audiworld.com/forum/m/s4/29424.phtml</a</li></ul>

a good shot is the post title "and here's the rest". looks good...

No disrespect meant, but I don't get the appeal. I can envision adding a spoiler that really does something (downforce), but why are so many people uncomfortable with a spoiler-less performance car?
IMHO, the A4/S4 butt, sans-spoiler, is one of its best attributes!

We grew up with Indy500 and F1... big wings, fast cars... Perception is everything. I like wingless!

yours has brake lights, no? I doesn't look like the LLTek one does. That probably contributes to the price differential too.

How much was the ABT painted? And how do you get their stuff--I've been to the website, seemed a bit of a dead end. I'd love a set of their wheels...

abt wing is about 500 or a little more from 1552 designs. Paint and install depends on your local shop.

I would say in the end that an ABT wing would run about 300 or so dollars more. (wing cost + painting and install) which isnt trivial

Spose you're right... and Group A rallycars have big spoilers, too.

My $0.02 on rear spoilers:

I'm not sure if it's me getting older or going along with the current trend, but in the 80's/early 90's when many models of cars, particularly Hondas, came with spoilers OEM from the factory, I generally liked the look of them (OEM at least), and felt that they generally seemed to blend well with the overall styling of the cars that came with them.

But now, fewer manufacturers are including spoilers OEM from the factory, and I think that the current styling of cars is generally such that they just do not look quite right with spoilers. I find that spoilers just do not quite integrate properly with the current car styling themes, as cars now seem to be geared to look better without spoilers in general.

Just my opinion, worth about what you paid for it...
