Rieger Lip installed.
Added More pics
---------

Finished Installing my Rieger lip last night. What a PITA, it didnt line up perfectly and there is a small gap between the lip and bumper in a few places. I will probably mold it into the bumper therefore emliminating the gap.

What do you think.

I could paint it for you, but I cant blend the paint onto your side skirts and hood to make the color match perfect. You may not need to. Lemme know.

The rear bumper doesnt even seem all that much lower than your current stock side skirts.... Doesnt NEED skirts, looks good imo :P

Have you got those springs for the 4matic yet?

It really isnt all that much lower. If you follow the angle of the side skirts, the lip only sits about an half an inch lower.

The springs should be available very soon.
