Ok, I have to ask.. Has anyone done the LLTek (or similar) RS6 narrow-body front bumper recently?
The story goes...
I was at the dealer for some service, and they had a beautiful RS6 on the lot.. Talked with the salesman for a while, but it's still out of my price range, and there's no way I can sell my significant other on spending that much for a used car right now (she already gives me grief for all the parts and maintenance I do on my 2.7T).
Looking at my 2.7T (unfortunately I don't have any recent pics..) and the RS6 side by side, looks-wise my biggest gripe is the damn front bumper. It's really not that sporty/aggressive on the C5-A6. I'm happy with the power in my car for now, and I'll probably go K-04's if my current turbos go TU, so power's not really the issue right now. So my mind keeping going back to looking for a little more aggressive styling on the front bumper.
Has anyone done this lately? I STF'ed and found this post that says the post-facelifted(02+) LLTek front bumper is ABS plastic, which I would be willing to do (fiberglass sounds too risky).

Is the part about the 02+ being ABS true, and does anyone have any side-by-side pics of an LLTek bumper on a narrow-body, and a real RS6 bumper?
For some reason I'm being a real chicken about this, and I think it's because I've read so much bad press about this particular mod...

I think it looks awesome on the mute's car. Even though your car isn't the same color, it should
still look just as good 
Be warned though, you may have the modify the parts slightly to make them fit (even though they are supposed to be "bolt-on.")
