Default Can you elaborate on these items. How are the fogs different?

Is ABS inferior to Urethane? What about the grill shape and materials?

Sorry, but I just can't seem to find straight answers on the search.

Default Well the body lines determine grille shape...

If you take a look at the the two pics side by side you can tell. The grille material for OEM is plastic vs metal mesh of Reiger. RS4 foglights have a round lens while Reiger reuses your stock or A4 fogs.

ABS vs urethane is a non issue.

Default true, no extra weight! ;-) besides now that he's got the RS4 bumper, the grille will match perfect

which is better than the rest of us. :P

Default Looks good to me....

Honestly that looks pretty good... I'd venture to say that it looks as good and/or better than mine.

The reason you may feel that we're keeping it a secret is because it is a very detailed and in depth explanation on how to get this thing to fit. I have spent up to 1 hour solid on the phone with body shops just walking them through ways to get it to fit right... it's no secret, it's just a PITA to get it to fit right. I can't type an email explaining it... I don't have instructions written up and it would take me at least 30 minutes to explain it on the phone...

Basically the bumper takes some custom work to get to fit right and we don't have any spacers or anything else "secret" that make it fit right. You just need to get a good body shop that is willing to do some custom work and I'm sure you will be happy with the results. Check this customer's car out... his body shop did an AMAZING job (and with very little instruction from me).

Default I think plastic would wear better than metal.

Beer would be cool but what I need is a good laywer. *hint* *hint*. Pesky traffic infraction.
