Default Poll: keep my Reiger RS4 bumper (with new paint) - go OE S4 - go OE RS4

what say you?

I do like (surprisingly well) how the Reiger fits, but it needs some paint and some restoration (chipped and cracked).. at this point a new replacement sounds real nice. OE S4 is very nice, fit and finish, I just don't want to mirror an S4 100%. OE RS4 would be the bee's knee's however takes a good amount of fabrication work, patience and money (a predominant factor) to mount one..

Default Cost of OE RS4....$2000-2500 total including parts, paint and heat moulding/adaptation

In my area an AW'er had his done for about 1k bodyshop labor+paint - no bondo on fenders or whatall, just heat and paint.

Default Completely different style bumper.. so far I'm not a real fan of the S4 to RS4 mod..

With some recent pictures I might be persuaded to think otherwise.

Default 2nd it's ABS if you need to plastic weld, it's easily shaped. It's a decent piece I've put...

through hell.

Chips and dings give it character
