Default Thinking of getting aftermarket body kit... any fitment problems on US 99.5 A4?

I'm interested in getting aftermarket front and rear bumper, side skirts, and rear wing for my 99.5 A4... I've heard some stories about certain body kits not fitting properly on US A4's... anyone know if the Avantgarde S body kit fits properly? Or, how about the body kits offered by LLTEK? Anyone know how much somethign like this would run, after installation and paint, etc? Is it somewhere around the $2k-$3k range? Thanks for any help!

BTW: Does adding side skirts cause any clearance problems?

It's usually the rear bumper/valance that doesn't fit right

Default Anything that replaces the entire bumper (A!, Caractere) you'll run into problems . . .

Most kits that replaces the front lower valence won't have a problem. Problem is in the rear valence, because the rear bumper for Eueo Spec A4s are shorter.

Nothing that a "little" custom work won't fix though. :-)
