Hello all

I am trying to decide on which trunk spoiler would go better with my car. I initially wanted ACS trunk spoiler, but I didn't like how ACS spoiler looked like it wasn't part of the car (too much hanging over the back when viewed from the side). I wanted a spoiler that doesn't protrude too much in the back (ACS, Rieger protrude too much in the back) and give the look of raised trunk lip. I also wanted something that integrate well into the car. (Hamann trunk spoiler looked too wrapped around the trunk like a crown...).

So, my choices are M5 or Vorsteiner trunk spoiler.
M5 trunk spoiler looks very classy and integrate well with trunk of e60. But now, I found Vorsteiner trunk spoiler which looks darn good as well with more flare~. I am probably not going to put M-tech front bumper, therefore I don't HAVE to stick with M5 theme. My car is Alpine White by the way.

From the price standpoint, I guess M5 is a clear winner, but not considering the price, which one would you choose? Tell me which one you would choose, dislikes, likes of each spoiler! Help me out.

From FANTASTIC 5 posting (I hope he doesn't mind me using his pictures!):

Does anyone have side profile picture of Vorsteiner trunk spoiler (like the side profile picture of M5 trunk spoiler)?

+1 on the Vorsteiner. Vegastrashed had it on his 545 and I think it looks just right with a slightly more aggressive look than the M5 trunk spoiler but not overdone.

I realize you don't like the protruding lip of Hamann or ACS, but since we're on the topic of spoilers, I must say this is my absolute favorite: Arquay.

i was thinking of putting on a rear spoiler as well, but i dont know which would look good with a stock rear bumper. simplest would be the M5.

Tom's car looks hot. I've seen it a couple times in person. The Arquay, ACS and RDSport trunk spoilers are very similar.

Aside from the spoiler, I have to divert real quick to say those damn Eisenmann ovals on Tom's and your car looks freakin AWESOME!

Since people been talking about spoilers, one brand people forgot to mention is Rieger. Its subtle
