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.

I have been having the same dilemma regarding which trunk spoiler to purchase. I was locked into the RD Sport. I also put a survey out there, and most picked the RD Sport, but I didn't have the Vorsteiner on the option list due to cost. I think I'm going to buck up the dollars and go with the big V. It really does look integrated. Thanks for posting the pics.

I say Vorsteiner. I was going to get the Rieger trunk spoiler but wasn't available. So I went with my first choice the ACS rep.
Anyone got pictures of the Rieger installed other than the picture above.

Does anyone know the price difference between the Vorsteiner and the Arquay? Also who sells these Spoilers?

Every picture I have seen of the Vorsteiner as been from the ass end! Does anyone have a side profile or different angle pictures of the Vorsteiner? I think quite a few of us would appreciate it. A picture on Platinum Gray would be the best! OK... I'll take any color!
