I would not purchase anything from Hofele again. My rear spoiler delaminated and they will do nothing to replace it. It took less than 4 months to look like dog do do.

I don't want to belittle your experience at all, but the bit in red above made me

Oh really, How about the front spoiler? Same thing? you know you can just simply sand the parts down and re-laquare for a new look? Good thing with carbon parts can always re-new.

Just hit 4 months with my front and rear, Still looks brand new but will keep an eye on them

The local high-end autobody repair shops both said there is water under the spoiler and nothing can be done but to paint it black after they grind off the gel-coat and get the water out.

The OP is dated 2008. 2 years fluctuation in currency rates will do that, they might also have increased the price due to shortage of carbon fibre and demand for the product itself.

Thanks for the reply, I realized that after I posted! I think its still a bit steep for what it is.

Thanks

Price is not too bad for a car the caliber of the Audi R8...but the quality is what should be discussed.

I thought you said in your earlier posts that your spoiler is probably not a genuine one and was fake??? So you're saying it's geniune and it is still getting water damage? Look like so far you're the only one with the bad luck. All the others so far have said they loved the quality......
