Default Singleframe bumper conversion? How difficult?

Thinking about putting a body kit on my S4, and I found this kit:
http://www.tuning-in.eu/front-bumper-audi-a4-b5-single-frame.html. It's pretty unique, and with all the S4's modded with RS4 bumpers running around, I'd stand out a bit. How much of a project would this bumper be?

Guy it's been a day, take it easy. Personally I think the bumper looks like *** and probably won't fit worth a damn. Those aren't even pictures on that site, they're either renders or photoshopped, it's never a good sign when the manufacturer hasn't even taken a picture of one fitted.

Probably a couple thousand dollars worth to do it so it looks decent.. (fitment, paint, side skirts, rear bumper, hood). I wouldn't do it even if I had the money. You will likely be disappointed. There are cheaper and more effective ways to standout that will be well received

I suppose you guys are right. The site itself seems to be reliable, but maybe not the manufacturer. I just really want the large grill look. Any pointers towards a site where I can find a good range of B5 A4/S4 body kits?

Kozz did it but ended up selling the car.

LLTEK seems to have good products, but I wouldn't count on them being perfect either

ECS is a site with decent products, many OEM, that will fit your car. Not exactly what you're looking for, but good to know. They're also super expensive

Okay, pretty similar, but his bumper looked different than the RDX one I may get. I'm not sure if the process for the RDX would be as labor intensive. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the hood would have to be chopped for the RDX and that's mostly it.
