RE: Lip Spoiler (opinions)
$1,000 (!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?) TO GET YOUR LOWERS PAINTED??
Search this forum. It's an easy DIY mod for painting the lowers.
As for the spoiler, they match it based on your original Audi color code, so it will be perfect. (The eBay ones)
Not sure what to tell you about the paint color of the lip spoiler, but you can probably do it along with the lowers painting.

ORIGINAL: evoic
****UPDATE****
After receiving my spoiler and being quite happy with the color match, the price, and the fairly quick shipping......
The "GAP" on each side was killing me.
Just on a whim, I contacted the seller and mentioned that the spoiler I received was great - except for a 1/2 inch gap on each side.
They replied and said that it appears that they inadvertantly sent the 2002-2005 A4 spoiler and to return it immediately for the correct replacement.
A4 02-05 Spoiler 1090mm (43 inch)
A4 06+ Spoiler 1120mm (44 1/8 inch)
The seller also offered to reimburse for the shipping and they would have my replacement on the way to me as soon as I provided a tracking number for the return. They have been extremely helpful so far.
BE ADVISED - MAKE SURE THE EBAY SELLERS SEND YOU THE 44 1/8 INCH VERSION !

Delsa Motorsports (eBay seller) was AWESOME to deal with. They shipped me the replacement as soon as I provided a tracking number for the return,
refunded the $17 that it cost to ship back, and had the new spoiler to me in under a week.
Perfect paint color match (again) and I'm a happy buyer. I'll try to get pics up in the next day or so to show the difference between the previous gap and the
perfect lines of the replacement. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.....

RE: Lip Spoiler (opinions)
I got two from seller #2 and never put either on my B6. The first one arrived with a slight paint defect and was replaced quickly by the seller. IMHO i think the trunk lips look better on the B7 than on the B6. When placed on the B6, they seem slightly out of place since they dont line up well with the tail lights being that they are about half the width of the S4 type spoilers. The line of the spoiler doesnt match up with that of the tail lights. Since the B7 tail lights dont wrap up to the top of the trunk you dont have that problem and it looks pretty clean.
In any case, I have two in dolphin gray sitting in my garage. If you know anyone thats interested in them you can PM me.

QUESTION!
I want to get my lowers painted but also want to get a lip spoiler.
1) Where's the best place to order one?
2) How do you get the color codes on the car to match if I buy it painted?
3) Is it easy to install yourself? How much around to have it installed? When I get my lowers, should I just have them do it?
Thanks
