Default RS4 Front Bumper owners...question...

Did your IAT's change when you had on the stock bumper vs RS4 front bumper? Just curious since the summer is upon us and just recently added to the car...TIA

Default I never logged it before and after with my last S4 and this one.

Your bumper looks good.

Default Thanks...it's been a pain, but slowly getting there. We had it

lined up and done nicely, but had to pull the bumper off and then i wanted to see if i could get it better algnd (post paint), and we worked it again. Came out better, but only issue still is getting the ends of the bumper to meet up w/ the bottom of the fender better. But, if i slide it up any more, it starts to buckle the front fenders and push the headlights out more. I've always played w/ shims as much as my patience would allow...Looks better linning it up, up front and then the side doesn't match the fender line as good. But got the curvature of the fender / bumper perfect as far as the molding goes --- Finally. Been working it, along w/ the rest of the car/paint for 2 months now.

Default Your driver side matches perfectly...Your passenger side looks lik mine

the way the bumper / fender line up. What did you use to cover the gaps in the both sides of the fender liner? I was just thinking of leaving it open...

Default Yeah, I was worried when I removed mine when I put new ICs in. I was able to get it

aligned better then before though.

Default 2nd that. I have AWE ICs and the shrouds needed tons of grinding. I'll probably grind some more

the next time the bumper is off when I go Stage 3 this summer.

Default What about pulling the shrouds out all together? Hacking up too much might

just make them not as efficient vs. without...Not sure though as i don't have shrouds anymore.
