Default To me, it looks identical to an OEM RS4 front. Sorry I dont have a thousand to drop on the bumper

as well as another couple hundred to pay a good body shop to have everything align up. Oh, and finding a GOOD body shop to do it is another thing. If i had boat loads of cash, I would be WB, but I'm going for the CHEAP SENSIBLE solution <so enuses posts that if i don't have money i shouldn't own an s4 blah blah blah>

Default Well Brazil,l I guess to each his own. If you want me to tosh out the Reiger, maybe you could

contribute to my "Purchase an OEM RS4 front" fund. My only grip about the bumper is the construction is pretty cheap and all they gave me was f-ing rivets to install the thing, which is BS.

Exactly the point here, trashy build quality. I'll donate $5 to your OEM fund.

Default No, I just think if you don't have the money to do OEM, you should stay stock.

I had a fortunate circumstance where I got my stock bumper replaced with OEM RS4 and I paid the $600 to mold it.

The Rieger bumper does not look anything like stock, it does a half-*** job of trying to copy some of the features, but that's about it.

This is only my opinion: OEM RS4 > Stock >>>>>>>> Rieger.

By the way: RS4 OEM... $1000-1200 for the bumper, $600 to fit and probably another $800 to paint.
