Default Why Oettinger?

I am not trying to make any Oettinger lovers mad but why don't people chose Rieger over Oettinger. I have come to this conclusion b/c I am in the market for a kit. I found that the Rieger kit is a lot cheaper, almost by a grand at someplaces. Also, I hope u agree with me that the Rieger rear valence is ten times nicer thatn Oettinger's. Is there any reason why so many people chose Oettinger? Thanks.

Default oettinger is better

Oettinger front is sweet, its aggressive, it flows perfectly with cars design, just look at how it contours with the wheel arc. And the sides flow perfecly with the car and the front bumper. Design looks like they spent a lot more time on it than the reiger, if you go to lltek.com and look at the reiger kit it looks like it just doesnt flow with the body right, just looks cheaper to me. You get what u pay for. O, oettinger back is a little subtle, but reiger back looks funny from diff angles....and it doesnt flow with the wheel arc at all

This is my opinion~!!!

Default Oettingers is definately one of the nicest. It's all opinion, I personally don't like the Reiger kit

and didn't even check prices of it or anything. It's simply not appealing to me.

Default example

Look at how poorly the reiger flows with the wheel arc....compared to how well the oettinger does..
