I was looking to get a spoiler for my 95 M3, and was wondering if anybody has bought one from Racing Dynamics? If so is the quality up to par compared to the factory original? Or any other problems someone has had with this particular spoiler, or Racing Dynamics? Thanks in advance!

I've got one.
It replaced my LTW replica spoiler after I got rear ended.
Fits great. Just make sure you put padding/tape under the undertray so it doesnt stratch up the paint on the trunk. Happened to me and now I can't run it in the 'low' position.
IMO, it looks better than the LTW tall spoiler, but thats not really what its about. A while ago, I found some statistics that Racing Dynamics published, stating the downforce figures compared to the OEM LTW pieces. Both the Class 2 front splitter and rear wing produced almost exactly the same amount as the OEM LTW parts.
Great price there too! I bought mine in the neighborhood of $800, on the insurance companie's tab though.
Also, it doesnt 'bow' at all in the middle. My ltw replica spoiler did this and really looked like crap after a while.

I would say this wing is loosely based on the LTW spoiler. Its 2pc vs. 3pc. Its a different height. And it forms to the body of the car differently.Originally Posted by GreekM3
You can run the spoiler in a low and high position, just like the LTW spoiler. The pics you see in the link above (first post) is the spoiler in the high position. To drop it down to the low position, you remove the undertray and run the top portion by itself. I can't run it in the low position because the body shop didnt put any padding or protection between the trunk lid and the bottom of the undertray. So those two pieces have been rubbing aganist each other for 2 years now (along with having dirt/water seep thru and creating scratches). Needless to say, the top edge of the trunk lid looks like crap.
I'll try to find some more pictures for you....

I believe its made out of some sort of hardened poly-urethane material. The center of the spoiler is not sagging in the middle (unlike the FG replica I had, which started to sag after a few months). Its definetly a strong piece.
All in all, I'm not much of a 'big wing' person, and had planned on running it in the low position on the street. I may get my trunk lid repainted in the future so I can actually do that.:

I just got one like this, any ideas how much it will cost to have it stripped (its red right now) and repainted avus?
It looks pretty nice. I dont think i would run it in the low position b/c it looks too much like stock, but instead ill bolt it permanatly in the high position. What i mean by this is Ill find a way to bolt the 2 peices together (since teh threads on material are stripped. Then ill bondo around those 2 open lines where the 2 parts meet, then get it preped and painted so it will look like 1 solid peice.
Spencer: does it block your rear view at all? Is it livable for city driving?
