Oettinger Front/Rear Skirt
I was interested in getting the OETTINGER front skirt and possibly a rear as well. Does anyone have this and did they have fitment problems, etc.? Also, does anyone know of a dealer in the US where I can get them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (The car is an '02 sedan; sorry I posted in the B5 forum by accident)

Both the front bumper and rear skirt fit quite well. A lot depends on the shops abilities though.
Note; the grilles on the front bumper are pretty weak/cheap plastic. My center piece has already been broken (by some cardboard on the freeway). The foglight covers are just ok. But one of mine did not fit that well and the screws that came with it, scraped against the bumper/paint.
With the rear skirt; this piece is made of fiber-glass and is just stuck onto the OEM skirt. Not the best design. But it works. It also has a bit of a thick top edge to it, where the kit and bumper meet (mostly on the sides). But if done properly, it can look very good (needs to be attached well with adhesive and force used to hold it in place. Then a clear silicone strip along the join to seal it from moisture/dirt). I have seen one that was already pulling away on the sides because it was not installed well.
I had to take my car back to the shop to have them repaint and refit the entire kit. (Off topic; but I had to get one of the sideskirts replaced under warranty, because it did not fit properly).
Some dealers are;
<a href="http://autobahnx.com/home">AutobahnX</a>
<a href="http://www.f1motorsports.com/">F1 Motorsports</a> Talk to Aun.
<a href="http://www.cecwheels.com/">CEC</a>. They are the US importer/distributor. But will be more expensive.
