    Need Suggestions!

    Hey guys I've decided to purchase the Rieger front lip and side skirts, but am debating on whether to get the rear apron as well I know many people do not really like the rear apron for the A3 but for the price I think it might be worth it. If you guys could give me some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!!
    P.S Keep in mind that the guy i'm buying the rear apron from is asking me $200 for it. Here are couple pics of the Rieger Rear Apron

    I hope vivid doesnt mind me using their pic (if you do please tell me and I will take it off :-) )








    Thanks Guys!!

    Or if there are any other skirts that you would recommend please let me know!

    Yes, get it since you are getting the front and side mind as well do the back. Will look very awkward w/o it

    Damn! IMO your ride looks amazing as is, I think that rear is close to hideous, but hey, to each his own! Good luck to whatever you decide to do.

    Re: Need Suggestions!

    For $150-200 is it not worth it? I understand it is really tacky but i really dont have the money to pay 500-600 dollars for a rear apron.

    I wouldn't get this bumper if it was given to me for free. It looks like something half assed ricers put on their integras and shit. Get the oettinger rear or something just please don't get that!

    Like collins said, to each his own. We'll give you our opinion, and that's all we can give you. If you want it, go for it , I'd personally leave your car as is. I believe heavily on a thing called "overkill", but then again, that's just my opinion.

    Oettinger rear looks Soooooo much better. and works with the rest of the kit well! The Reiger is too much and doesn't really look right on our cars.

    No x infinity.
    I understand that it enables you to get a rear skirt for only $200 but what would you do if someone came up to you on the street and said "hey mate, if you give me $200, I'll make the rear of your car look like an ugly piece of sh*t!"?

    I'd save the $200, keep saving for another couple of weeks and get the Oettinger rear. Or even the S3 rear.
