Default DIY Ultrasport front end is test fitted; paint next week!

Test fit pics. Grilles are not "in" and just sitting there (center lower grille not in pic). Splitter not mounted as it's getting painted. Going for full body prep and paint of entire car next week. Gonna shave the line between lower and upper to make it look "one piece". Have grills for centers to match pattern of fog grilles. They are all getting painted a titanium very dark gray color. And my headlights are apart for a Joey mod; the whole inside where everything is black on S4 housing will also be the same color as the grilles. The splitter will be done in the same color as well. Hope it turns out mean looking.

Due to this mod, my former lower, which is a OE lower with zender lips and custom center cutout (as seen in my sig pic), is for sale. Also, I ordered two OE fog light housings with bulbs from Greg (400hpA4 DTHaus) when I got my USP lower, and I don't need them, so they will go cheap. See the AZ classifieds if interested.

That's going to look clean as hell. Did you do the cutting yourself?

Default Yep. Using Matt Devo's DIY from AZ. Wasn't hard at all. Used Regier B5 splitter, it looks sick.

I didn't want CF Kerscher splitter, because I wanted everything on front end to match. wish I could've gotten pics with splitter on, but it's drying from paint.
NAMotorsports was kind enough to measure up the B5 and B6 reiger Splitters for me, and the B5 seems to line up better with USP front than the B6 (they are made for the Reiger front, not for OE).
I do all my own body work (did my old front), and I'll do prep on this, but I'm sending it to the pros for full body paint.

Default I've been wanting to do this since I first saw Matt's. He really started a trend....

and saved people alot of money by being the first( that I know of anyway). I don't know if I could do the cutting myself :/

Default I like your Zender front better. Sometimes, at different angles, I just hated mine.

Started looking too "body kit" to me, and I wanted to stealth it a bit back to OE while still looking aggressive. To me, USP is still the best of both worlds.

Sounds good. I'm excited to see the headlight/lower grill combo that you're talking about
