Default IS this really THAT bad?

I am looking to upgrade my USP looks to an OTG kit. What would be so bad about getting a knock off kit like the one in the link? It says it is Polyeurathane, so shouldn't that make it easier to work with?

Please advise. Thanks!<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=36475&amp;item =7953444281&amp;rd=1">Possible Upgrade, or Bad Idea?</a></li></ul>

Default here are some feedback quotes

"shpg in stated time, fit vry poor. auto shop says kit needs huge amt of work"

"WE recieved the item packaging was very poor resulting in damage"

"fast shipper, but the quality of the kit is just ok. Needs tons of modifications"

"Bad Packing, item damaged shp &amp; not as ad, pls buy shp insurance if UR buyer."

"fast shipping, not a great fit but got what i paid for."

"Kit has cracks, hollow areas and needs bodywork, got what I paid for."

Default Reiger has Oettinger characteristics for a decent price.

You will certainly want at least side skirts with that bumper though. It is much lower and will make your car look funny as hell if you don't have sid skirts to even out the body drop.

Default yes it is...more

I got my 04 3.0 a few months ago. It has every possible package upgrade included. Had 899 miles when I bought it. It was the finance manager's demo(a brand new car from the lot that is driven until someone buys it). Its 6spd, has the ultra sport package, has the lighting package, upgraded leather, premium sound, auto-dimming, sport suspension...etc...all the goodies. KBB at the time was 39,100...brand new was 43,100....I got it for a 34,400. For being used at 899 miles...I get 100,000 Audi certified warranty..he he he. Hopefully i don't mess that up. =) The sticker on that car is way toooo high...especially since ur really doing them a favor by trying to clear out their inventory to make way for the new B7. It doesn't even have the Ultra sport package, which at that price isn't bad, but they need to realize that they're priority is clearing out the B6s...and then u also have to wait for it to get shipped. I would look at a used one...thats almost brand new..especially since u lose 3-4k as soon as u drive off the lot w/a new A4. And u also get the 100,000 warranty instead of 50,000. Also consider that w/the new B7 already here...it's going to kill resale value on our B6s.
