Default Got my new RS6 front bumper from strictly foreign. Will post pics of before and after. Any advice?

So I got my RS6 Style front bumper from estricltlyforeign.com a couple days ago. It's still sitting in the giant box it came in on my garage floor. I think I may break into it after work today. I'll post up pics of it before and after, but I'd like to know if anybody else has done this conversion, how it came out, and what body shop they used for the work.

I live in Northern MA for thos in the area like BD and the crew. Does anybody know of an affordable body shop around here that does good work? I can't afford to have somebody do it wrong and mess the whole thing up. I also can't afford to go car-less for more than a week at most. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. The price for the bumper was $299+shipping. What they don't mention is that it is freight only, and shipping will run you another $200+. I'm in the bumper alone now for over $500 before fitment, prep, paint. This thing had better look friggen sweet!

That is correct, this is for my 2.7T. I just like the look of the RS6 style bumper, mine is damaged
