If I'm not mistaken, the Reiger front lip is VERY low, which would definitely not flow with your stock sideskirts. Not sure about the Carlsson rear, but I'm sure someone else can chime in.

Personally I don't believe in mix-n-match. I'd go for a full Carlsson, or full Brabus, or full AMG, or full whatever. Even the exhaust, pedals, door sill penals, etc. But that's just me.

I've never seen the rieger front so I wouldn't know. But all all kits are built to flow - from ground clearance height to aerodynamic lines. Eg. Carlsson rear is squarish and will definitely not go with AMG side skirts or front apron.
Another example is I've seen a BMW 325 with AC add-on front and rear, but M-tech side skirts and the whole car just looks strange and "un-aligned", if you get my drift.
Besides, what would you do should you decide to get a flat hood emblem one day? Or door sill panels? There're so may toys for the interior that would look utterly wrong if you mix, say Calrsson door sill panels with a Rieger shift knob (don't know if they even make those).
I still think you should go with the Carlsson front and install the quad pipe to go with the rear. Now that would look sweet.
