RS4 Replica or Caractere front bumper?

[redavant]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get your input. I am considering upgrading my front bumper. There are 3 choices I see:

CHOICE I: convert existing fog lights grills into mesh

__________________________________________________ ____________________________________
CHOICE II: RS4 Replica bumper like this one with delete fog lights set-up.


__________________________________________________ ________________________________________
CHOICE III: Caractere bumper


What you guys think?

Nice! My pic got used, lol. Don't wanna give up the fogs and if money wasn't an issue Caractere bumper all the way with an RS4 grill. Then Choice 1, 2 would be my last choice for me.

Too many other goodies already on the way so money was the issue, choice 1 for me.

I like choice 1 the most. It's just clean looking. Choice 3 looks a bit awkward for some reason.

Choice 1. Oem bumpers/body are always better and cleaner looking. Choice 3 looks kinda overkill and the replica will be bad quality as they always are

Yes! I saw your great post about the mesh and thought it was brilliant. Thank you for that and for your response.

Thank you all. I do like the OEM look (1) but somehow Caractere is also very appealing.

this was one of the ziner's 2009 A4 with Caractere. He told me that quality/fitment was pretty good.

I do too... :)

What do you think about painting the RS4 replica grill in grey/silver color to match the lower lip?

I would go with the caractere
Lots of pics of Ben's 09 avant at gearfx.com...I think that bumper is bad ass and pretty unique

[redavant]

Yeah! I love how Ben's car looks. Getting closer to pull the trigger on it :)

sweet - ive mulled the idea over for some time, but i have higher priority mods. if i ever get into an accident that requires the front bumper to be replaced, the caractere is my choice. Looking forward to seeing pics of it installed!

Wow, #3 looks pretty damn good, particularly on a red car! Really aggressive lines. I'm partial to OEM+ mods when it makes sense. I upgraded my grille to a black optic S4 unit and paired it with an aluminum splitter from the S4 as well. For $600 I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
