Pics!
Well, I got the lip spoiler on and I have to say that I love it! I know a couple of you thought the carbon fiber was going to be too rice but I think it looks pretty damn sweet with the color of my car. Sorry the pics aren't that great, it's getting dark outside.

RE: Pics!
Looks nice, but I would have mounted it a bit lower on the trunk so the leading edge of the spoiler lines up with the seam between the tail light and the rear quarter.
Here is a pic of my previous car (2.7T) with the M5 spoiler mounted:
For comparison, I took this pic of another A6 with the same M5 spoiler, but mounted a bit too high IMHO, although he lined up the corners, the center was a bit high:
I believe the position of the spoiler should be so that the leading edge lines up with the tails, not the trailing edge like yours. FYI, that is also how the OEM RS6 spoiler is lined up, which is on my current car (4.2):

I wanted to put it lower but it was way too hard to get it to bend enough to fit right. I was too scared to bend it. I was also scared the adhesive wouldn't hold if I had to bend it like that.

RE: Pics!
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but where did you get the spoiler cary12? My car is the same color, only a 2.7T (which the spoiler would work on too, right?)... so I was thinking of getting one and decided to look it up on ebay. The search result came up with this, which looks like the picture was stolen from you, only that they took out the license plate and decided to photoshop out the audiforums lol.....

Even the house window reflections are exactly the same lol.
