just to confirm i am a non S-line
several guys on here have lips. IMO the abt one looks the best. It can be had for around 5-600ish. As far as the rieger..i havent seen anyone have it installed besides the show car.

Deval is the better, that or an Oetty front end. They look less busy and alot more cleaner.[up]

I'm thinking of going abt. I think it looks best if you don't want to swap out the bumper. The deval kit didn't look too bad though.

The Deval kit is my favorite because it flows with our cars lines in a natural way. I believe that a body kit should accentuate a cars beauty without making itself known.

[down] on the deval....there's a reason it's alot cheaper than anything worth comparison (i.e. only other full bumper option is oettinger and [;)] that blows away the deval!)
but to each their own [az]
i'm ABtsolutely certain you know which road i chose! [up]

Who do I contact for an ABT front lip and side skirts? I found some on NGP Racing, they want $595.00 for the lip and $625.00 for the side skirts. Can anyone get me the two of these items cheaper??
Also, I would assume that these come unpainted?

I love the Deval kit but I do like the Oettinger kit more. But when it comes down to it, would you pay an extra 4-5 thousand dollars for the Oettinger kit? Even their BBK is close to $10,000.

I live in South FL as well and think I have the perfect alternative for you. This is a great alternative for those without the deep pockets to pay the hefty price of the original components. Ground Dynamics offers an Abt replica kit for our B7 (among other Audi kits). The complete kit is $755[hail]

When the time comes, I think I might go with this option. [up] Leaves more money to put aside for performance mods that count.[drive]

Uhh okay... So the I called the ABT knock-off company, grounddynamics, and umm...
-Kit does not come with hardware to install?!! --not even the 3-piece spoler
-no pre-drilled holes.. no nothing...
-The guy also said eith fiber glass they can't "garuntee a perfect fit", but he said if im not 100% satisfied i just SHIP ($$) it back to them and get fully refunded.
I dont know if this is okay for a body kit, i gues you have to have a good body guy, Or.. if this is unacceptable

i think you use 3m double side tape for tha 3 piece spoiler. better than drilling holes thru ur trunk
LimiTed
06-01-2007, 06:38 PM
shouldnt the lip just be double sided tape and maybe use a couple tap screws on the ends?
bunnn
06-01-2007, 06:46 PM
hmm my ABT front lip is glued on with this kind of black adhesive/glue ..its pretty strong, that my lip is basically impossible to part from my bumper....my sideskirts are glued/screwed(in the wheel well)...and the 3piece spoiler was also glued on with the black adhesive....
i know some1 else with an avant recently got an ABT kit too and from our convo it seems the things that come with the kit is not strong enough anyways...
buk8tee
06-01-2007, 09:46 PM
fiberglass????? that's a bad move from step 1 (maybe side skirts are really only acceptable but....i'd stay away from fiberglass period ---> unless i was a race firm like champion audi, hendrick motorsports, etc.)
and that's the reason for the price being 1/3 of the real abt kit. they gaurantee fitment (no have your body guy work on it $hit!!!), i forget the material but it's not fiberglass, and lastly i was never one to appreciate yikes lee air gordons????
you get what you pay for...on my vw i cut some corners but why on the audi???

06-01-2007, 11:13 PM
I agree. You're way better off getting the real abt kit and having the quality along with the looks.

06-02-2007, 03:46 AM

Anybody know of a good place for wheels too??? (Yeah i have to get those too!!)

I don't know how that site used that picture but this car use to be local of here and the kit is definitely a real ABT kit, as it was probably 1 of the first kits on a B7, the owner was to baller to skimp out...i mean he only switched like 8 cars in 9 months....the grille is a caractere grille for those who wondered...

Go with the ABT, it is by far the best looking [up]
Or how about a CF front lip like this:

(I know the pictured car is an S-Line but I believe they can be fit on non-S-lines)
