There are ALOT of people out there that will sell you front end lips that are universal fit and they really dont look good. Same goes for intake on ebay, they will sell you s chrome pipe with a filter and send you on your way... and well... theres more but I wont blab my mouth too long.. lol. Just be careful if you go EBAY. Try just searching around online and see if anything catches your eye. many performance sites will show the part on the actual car... compared to EBAY where a lot of the time they have a picture of just the item

The last thing you want is their CHEAP paint to peal off and then you have to yank that **** off your trunk to get painted again

Who did you buy from? Also, do you have a profile shot and a picture from the top of the trunk?

I also have the light silver A4 (see pics in previous post)...I can get some more pics and more clear pics (day-time pics) today for you.  The color match was fantastic and I haven't had any problems with it staying in place.  It just took a buddy and me to bend it into place and the 3M adhesives on the bottom work like a charm.
