Default Help picking out door blades

I've been wanting to get some S4/Sline style door blades for a while but I refuse to buy them from the dealership. I found these on ebay but they say that they bend like polyurethane. Do the factory ones bend like this or is this some cheap knock off?

Anyone have any opinions or experience with this? Any pointers as to where I should buy this stuff??

Stay away from the cheap knockoffs. To get an appreciation of what goes into the OEM door blades, remove your stock ones and have a look at them (only 2 small screws on the inside lower edge of the door.

Thanks, I'll have to do that. Nice ride by the way. I'm guessing you went to Audi for your doorblades/spoiler?

I wouldn't suggest getting cheap knock off's. That guys history on Ebay sucks too. Not sure I would trust anything from him.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. You can't really screw up the install.

Nope. OEM door blades from ecstuning.com, replica spoiler from spoilerdepot.com. Both a big savings from dealer price.

Thanks

Those are probably trash. He doesn't even have a pic of the actual product. Those pics are from epimporters, (which are 50 dollars cheaper than ecs). Install takes less time than washing your car. Get the real deal
