Here is the first test fit with my helpful sidekick ....... ..... It actually fit pretty good the first time with only a few adjustments needed on the FMIC T-clamps. I may have to do a little trimming by the piping but nothing major.

There will be some more adjustments made so that everything is centered and level.

Here is a link to another auction but it is the same seller. He also has other body kits for Audi's including a Reiger copy.

That is an optional CF spoiler that I have not decided on either. While I do like it a lot, my car used to scrape a lot with just the bumper so I could only imagine how it would do with a spoiler.

I am going to wait and see how everything comes out first and see how much clearance I have before I add the CF spoiler. If it comes out ok with no problems the CF spoiler will be next.

Just wondering but about how much does it cost to get a bumper like that painted with factory paint or at least similar paint matched?

I'll let you know on Monday after I get the quote. The last time I talked to them about it I believe he said about $275 but I'm not a 100% sure. You have to remember that prices will vary from shop to shop and depending on where you live. Prices here are a lot cheaper then they were when I lived in California.

I am doing all of the installation myself. I am installing it first to get all the gaps lined up and then I will take it in for paint. I'll pick it up and do the final install and then take it back in to have it blended into the fenders.
