I can't make up my mind between the ACS or the Hartage splitters.
To me they both look the same from the pics I am seeing.

Also, when ordering, do I want these painted or unpainted.
I have heard from a bunch of you guys that all paint should be done at local shops.

So, having said that.
Any of our guys Eurorev or whomever selling these?
Or should I find an Ebay out there?

Danke

I'm confused. Are you talking about the front splitters that go underneath the front bumper or the window and trunk spoilers? Also, do you mean Hartge? As far as I know, Hartge does not make roof and trunk spoilers for our car.

I like the ACS splitters a bit better, I find them to be edgier (for lack of better word). The Hamann versions are also fairly aggressive but don't seem as refined as ACS. We can set you up with either one if you need but I'll warn you, I'm only going to sell you the ACS because that's what I like

I'm talking about the defusers? The rear wing on the trunk.
And I'm talking about the defuser on the rear window up by the roof.

So painted or not painted?

How much are the ACS ones?

Hope this clears up my first post.

John, You are talking about a Trunk spoiler and a Roof Spoiler. ECF is indeed correct that ACS is your only option as Hartge does not make either.

I bought my ACS replica trunk spoiler on ebay for like $80 and had it painted locally and installed and it looks great. I wouldnt waste you money buying an authentic part that really just for looks. I mean its not like buying rims or car electronics, save your money for other mods.

I think the ACS splitters only look good on black rides. As for the spoilers roof/ trunk, get a replica and save the change.
