Default Rear deck & rear roof spoilers

I'd like to put something similar to these on my daughters car, already painted. I found them color matched on e-bay from a high rated e-bay company based in Taiwan. Even with shipping, the cost is quite reasonable as the price of the spoilers are really low. I like the subtle look of these smaller spoilers.
Any one have experience with these overseas outfits?
Thanks,
Swankster aka Rich

people put them on. If u search around u can find one more oem. like the s4 or usp on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUDI-...Q5fAccessories
And when u attach dont use 3m two way tape. it probably wont hold down forever and one day u will notice your spolier is missing.
Heres a pic of a similar spoiler

Well my body guy did it for me. He used some sort of mixture of powder and liquid that the dealerships use. Though u can also drill it in. But most people dont like the idea of that.

IMO, If you're going to use this style of spoiler, put it on the trunk...but not the roof. Why?...Since the spoiler has an upward deflection built into it, installing it on the roof will unnecessarily disrupt the air flow before it gets to the trunk spoiler...rendering it pretty much useless.(Maybe it's just me, but I dislike non-functional aerodynamic devices) However, if you're simply going for aesthetics...put it anywhere you'd like.

And FWIW, The spoiler in question looks remarkably like a JSP Katana universal lip spoiler which can be purchased domestically.
