Same problem. My car is dark in color (black sapphire) and it's mote noticeable. I'll try to line back up once I throw on the GFX spoiler.

HA! I hope this is a JOKE. Audis are horribly built POS. I had an S4 before my IS350 and that thing was a total POS.

I thought it was from rubbing/scraping but I guess maybe it's just a design flaw.

Dam really? I never own german car before, allway Lexus, but look like Lexus built getting down and the S5 look nice to me, but I really don't know their quality?

I sold my car with 71,000 miles on it. During the 23,000 miles or whatever it didn't have a warranty I spent over $7,000 in repairs. The car was bone stock and had been maintained properly. I wouldn't wish an Audi on anyone.

BMWs are the same. Awesome to drive but you're going to have some problems.

In the end you really cannot beat the German car feel but IMO it's not worth the costly issues that come with it. One reason I really like the F-sport suspension is because it gives the car a more BMW type feel. Except for the sloppy steering.

Micaiah doesn't sag yet. Probably because I never drive him. What I put on Micaiah in one year is double what I put on my one month old truck.

Mine is 09 and has this problem too!

It is not isolated to 06-08 models. I have seen even larger gaps on 2010 IS and IS-F on the dealers lot.

My '08 sags, but it didn't start until after I had some work done to the bumper where it was taken off and put back on. Since then, it's never sat flush. I've talked to the repair shop who did the work and they claim and swear they put it back exactly the way it came off and there's no way to tweak it's position (I believe them). I've learned to live with it, but the gap annoys me when I clean the car and am up close. This thread is interesting in that I wonder if anyone else had it fit fine until they pulled it off and put it back on.
