Default 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.

Default JoshD is the RS4 bumper expert....

All the Reiger needs is a paint job and 3 hours in the body shop. Nothing major.

Default 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.
