You're gonna have to do custom route. Most of the stuff out there are CF.

IMO it's a bit rice.

well the more i look at the hood the more it does seem a bit over the top, but i need to buy a new one anyways... maybe ill just get an oem replacement... but as far as that trunk or more importantly that spoiler? (i already have a 96 so i dont need ANOTHER euro trunk lol)

trunk lid is from a facelift euro a4. I think the spoiler may be by reiger? I don't really think it would look right without any other body mods/lower though. hood is way too fast and furious in my opinion.

I dunno. I think that spoiler looks alright on that car because it flows better with the trunk lid and lower lip.. maybe that's just me though.

Yeah, skip the spoiler. Look at the profile shot of Aledelic's car. There is a nice rake line from the hood to the trunk. A spoiler would interrupt this and cause all this chatter in the lines. This is my personal opinion/analysis. Our cars look good because they're low (some of ours...), wide and rounded. That spoiler is none of those. If you want to decorate your trunk, I'd go with a lip spoiler or nothing. Anything else is going to look overdone and out of place.

Also, I've always been curious, those vents on the Euro R spec hood, could those allow water from rain to get into the bay and mess with the alternator/coilpacks/anything else water sensitive?
