I figured now that some B8 aftermarket body kits are popping up, we should have a thread on the different choices out there. I'll start out with the Rieger Kit for the B8 sedan.

I like the spoiler, front and back bumpers alright. I'm not sure about those slitted side skirts though. I also think they chose some ugly wheels to show off with their body kit.

The ABT is another one thats nice, but from what i have heard on Audizine the quad tips on the rear arent really connected to the exhaust, anyone know if this is true?

You're right, I think I like the ABT kit better. Not sure about the exhaust tips.

So far ABT is my favorite, the only thing im iffy on the Rieger kit is the sides, and on OEMplus they have a vortex kit but no pictures.. not sure how that one looks. I need to find out about the ABT tips i really hope they connect to the exhaust and arent just for looks..

Reiger front end in white looks like it was designed after a Star Wars Storm Trooper Helmet

lol! thats actually my fav. part of the Reiger kit, i like the front more than ABT since it looks more factory, the side i give it to ABT 100% and the back im in-different about.

I have the ABT and the quad exhaust tips are attached to the rear valence instead of the mufflers.

thanks for the info! then thats definitely a no go for the rear of the ABT, i might end up using the front and rear of the Reiger and the side of the ABT. What do you guys think?

Rieger front and rear are definitely too aggressive for the ABT sides. If you are really getting Rieger, one thing to consider is that Rieger has low quality plastics and bad fitments. Caractere is another brand you can consider too.

Caractere is nice, but theres too much going on for my taste its a little too agressive

I have been looking to replace my boring 17" wheels. What kind of wheels are those in that picture? Does anyone know.
