front bumper cover decision
I am going to get either the oem RS4 style or the Reiger but have a few questions. I know a little modding is needed for the Reiger, I can handle that. I am leaning towards the RS4 but have heard little posts about it not matching the fenders. Whats the deal, any info would be much appreciated.

It's probably a 93% fitment, you need a decent body shop...
I have Josh's RS4 OEM version. I'm very happy with the results. However, the fenders don't exactly match therfore you will need to either cut or heat-bend the attachment edge (near the "shark fins" to make the fit. Also, some minor bulges will form at the bottom of the bumper, which can be cut for a perfect fitment. See my picture poster for results.
