Hey.
I really like the front bumper that Oettinger makes
http://www.cecwheels.com/tuners/products.sd?iid=165&type=wheels&modelId=&categoryId=58&tuner_brand_id=6
But to be honest I think that their rear bumper isn't that great and I was thinking about combining the DTM Rear Bumper
http://www.gmgracing.com/audi_aero.shtml
It appear that the Oettinger bumper sits a lot lower on the vehicle as compared to the DTM, so my question is if I chose to combine the two different bumpers, would it look really awkward with one bumper being slightly higher than the other?
Also, all side skirts appear to look the same to me, so it is also a question of how low/high the side skirts sit on the vehicle?
Any opinions will be totally welcome :)
Thanks.

I think combining them would look weird, but in reality, you're suppose to have the rear higher than the front because of the air passing through.
I think it'll look weird, I like the Oettinger rear better than the DTM, but I think it would be unique.
I'm gonna combine the ABT kit, stock sideskirts/ABT sideskirts with the S-Line rear diffuser and Votex rear spoiler. =) So it's not bad to mix and match.

With Oettinger you definitely get what you pay for. Their aero kits fit extremely well due to their close ties with VAG who lets them use vehicle CAD designs to make everything mount and fit amazingly. Also, everything for the B7 is PU-RIM, the same material OEM bumpers are made of. No glass, no weird plastics.
Another factor for the price is that the Euro is kicking the butt out of the US dollar. We're paying roughly 30% more for products made in Germany today than we did only 5 years ago.
Also, because of the openings in the front bumper, it makes it look super low. In reality, it actually doesn't sit much farther down than other brands.
Here, this is a photo of my buddies car that we built for SEMA when I worked for CEC.
