well... I don't think it looks "terrible"... i think the rest of the car does (wheels sticking way out and side skirts). What about on this car:

Why do they suck??? Or is that personal preference? Personally I think that the RS4 bumpers and kits look sick!!! Without the wing of-course.

**huh hmmmm... can I get your opinions on front bumpers gentlemen, nothing crazy. I like the 8E look because it is VERY oem-like

My bad... I think it looks cool! It's your ride and you can do what you want with it! Go for it!

Really??? I didn't know this, I thought they were closer to being the best of the best out there... false impression I guess! Hmm, now what?
