Spoilers
Anyone buy and install a set of front & rear spoilers from Zender? I saw a picture posted but was too far away. If so was it difficult to install or should I just have "them" do it. Also are there any other manufacturers of a low-lying spoiler as the Zender product?

Don't do it!
Don't put a spoiler on your A6. It will ruin its clean lines IMO!
I am going to sport up my 2.7T will larger wheels, a chip and shift kit, but I'm not going to change anything on the outside. I'll be the stealth, stock looking A6 that can kick a**!!!
(Not that they don't kick a** already!)

Re: Front spoilers are OK but rear deck ones make an elegant and sporty car look ugly.
I agree the rear deck of the A6 looks elegant, I'm not sure I would call it sporty. The spoiler gives a sportier look, but certainly does disturb the clean, smooth lines of the rear deck. I vaccilate on whether or not to pursue the Zender kit.

If a car (a 4 door sedan) is attractive in an elegant or sporty way you only kill that
by putting a spoiler on the rear deck. Hardly any European sedans come with rear spoilers. I know of none that look attractive with one. I never said that the design of an A6 was specifically sporty. It was a general comment meant to state that if a car looks generally good a rear spoiler never improves its looks. Rear spoilers usually make a tacky statement rather than serve any stylish function. The general rule for Euro design is if it serves no function don't put it on the body of a car. So many of our US cars and Japanese product look hideous with these spoilers. They are proliferating like rabbits.
