    Is it trustworthy? It seems to be really a good deal. Are there any hidden problems? Thanks for your advise.

    First off. It is a Reiger setup, not RS4.

    Secondyly, it will cost you about 4 grand to make that fit properly on you car.

    I am quite new to the forum. What do you mean by a Reiger setup? Does it cost much money to get it fit? Thank you.

    reiger is a company who makes rs4 replica stuff. he means that it is made of fiberglass and not polyurethane so it wont fit right and will take a good bit of work to look perfect.

    Re: RS4 body kit?

    Actually. I was wrong. That is a knock off of a reiger. The original Reiger setup is made of ABS plastic, that knock off is fiberglass, and is made of a shitty mold.

    I bought my knock off the same way, thinking it would fit. But in the end it costed me about 1500 to get it painted and fitted properly. Granted it fits great now, I regret not going OEM RS4, for what I paid.

    Mine is fiberglass and is great, it actually helped out a lot when I had to trim it to make my FMIC fit. Fiberglass is prone to cracking if it isn't treated properly, but if it, you won't have any issues. Either way, I'd skip on that auction

    Re: RS4 body kit?

    mine was ebay quality. which is why it cost soo much to put on, because my body shop guy had to fill in all the little divots and cover all the cracks that were already in the bumper (cracks even when it was brand new!). Not to mention it didnt even line up right on the fenders.

    Re: RS4 body kit?

    my front bumper is fiberglass, fit fine. and was great when fitting my fmic too, made cutting so easy and clean. fiberglass isnt so bad like everyone says, you just have to make sure that it was treated good and isnt a shitty mold so it will fit right

    Wow. I will go for an OEM one instead if it costs 1500.

    Re: RS4 body kit?
