I have wanted s spoiler for my RS6 for a while, but I wanted to see what you guys thought about the color. Sorry for no pictures of it (I will post some after I get it) but it has black/red rims, black emblem, and the rs6 black grille. I was thinking that a black spoiler might look good, but I wanted to take a poll first. What I will most likely do is get black, see how it looks, then paint it red if I don't like it. So yeah. Black or red? Or something else? Carbon Fiber?


heres a really fast photoshop of black. I assume most people have seen it with a red spoiler.



this isnt an RS6, but similar..

Go for black for sure.

But you're going to have to tint your tails with some VHT Nightshades to complete the look. This isn't an option. YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

Yeah I agree, I want to tint the tails and front windows. I just want to talk to people in my area to see how strict they are here. Because I think they are in Southern California.. I was considering maybe just replacing the tails with somehting like this..

But tinted would prolly be better
btw, the car in the picture isn't actually my car.

I personally like the red. If you were installing other carbon fiber stuff like a new hood, window trim, etc., then the carbon fiber spoiler would fit in better. As you can see in the picture of the orange XB, they tied their CF spoiler in with the window trim, door handles, tinted tails and mirror covers. But the best thing about customizing is that you do what you like! Which way are you leaning in this decision?

carvshner

Well I have thought about the black handles and mirrors. Do you know what the best way to do that is? I know I'v seen people just use the overlay stuff for the mirrors, which seems cheaper then mirror covers.
And I think the black would still tie in with the emblem rims and grille, but probably better with the black mirrors and handles.

XBinRochester

The easiest way for the handles would be overlays. As for the mirrors, I haven't decided to paint them yet or to overlay them. Painting would be the cheapest way, but with overlay, I can easily change them back if I wish.

Personally, I'm inclined towards the red, but I agree entirely with "pyroman131" that if you go black, then you absolutely have to dark tint the taillights, otherwise it just won't look right.

We'll I went with the black, and I'm really happy with it. Its different. Pictures up when I can get a chance.

Probably wanna lower it next....

pyroman131

First black your tails. Then lower it.

Looks really good. I'd love it if you can blow up those pictures for us.

carvshner

yeah I definitely will. Unfortunately I'm in San Francisco without a car until August, so I'll have to wait til then to take better ones
