Default Need some fast help ***PLEASE*** - nightmare front bumper!!!

Ok, so my car since running off the road avoiding a deer two months ago, has sat at the body shop. Now in the 12th hour, I'm having fitment issues with the Rieger front bumper. It's just a piece of crap that is made to be rig up to fit my S4. They are telling me, it takes glue, fillers and so on to get this POS to fit. The bumper is going back to the place I purchased it at. So now, I'm one week away from moving out of state, for that matter half way across the country, to take a new job and it's either find a RS4 "style" front bumper that fits "close" to OEM or just say F-it and go back to stock. Any help would be GREAT!!! I don't like LLTEK and want plastic, not glass.

Many MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Jason

stock S4 looks better than any RS4 look or RS4 oem out there IMO.

2nd. On an S4, the RS4 just looks out of place to me.

I really like the look of the RS4, but in hindsight I would rather spend the $ on mods.

Default How many times have I advised people on this board to STAY AWAY from Rieger and LLTek. But NO, you

folks don't listen to me. :-)

Since you are moving across the country, will you be shipping your car? If so, what difference does it make? Get the issue resolved with the bumper after your car ends up in your new location.

Otherwise, just go with the stock S4 bumper.

Any body shop has to put a lot of work (~10 hrs) into the OEM RS4 bumper, even if it does look infinitely better than the Rieger.
