Default yeah, it throws the body lines off imo. The side skirts even it out, but they u need a rear..

to offset that. Oh well.

I think it looks junk personally. Modded stock bumper ftw.

Default I don't understand what you mean. Stock bumper height doesn't require lower side skirts?

Default I thought the same but then realized I believe he's talking either about the Rieger or OEM

RS4 front VS the RS4 front mod on the stock front bumper. Duct Tape Rebuild... can you clarify?

Default hard to explain but ull try..

When you change the grills, your doing a major change in the lines of the bodies.

Theirs a little bit clearance diffrence in the side skirt vs. the front bumper, you just dont realize it because their is a lip at the front of the side skirt.

When you make the holes bigger, to me it throws it off. Theirs not as much going on, so it redirects the attention else where, so i noticed the diffrence in clearance heights. I think thats really all it is. When you have the grills, their is more going on, so you tend to pay more attention.. I know it sounds stupid, but it bothers me. I really like jesster's. I think it really depends on the color of the car to.
