I think it looks pretty mean personally and it'll allow alot more air to get to the intercooler. Could any standard body shop do this? I've seen some s4's that have done it and when its done right it looks like it came from the factory, it has the same lip and everything around it the whole way. Any idea on how much something like this would cost?

Default It is possible, but I'm pretty sure there is tubing for the headlight washers right along there.
Definately something you could do without, but just some FYI.

You would need no bumper support to do that...

Indeed, but that look comes off better on a S4 bumper...
