If you line up 3 s4s and measure the gaps on the bumpers you will get 3 different
measurements. My rear bumper has huge gaps and the car has never been hit. A freaking S15k kia has better fit on the bumpers. Please help me fix these gaps that make our/my car look cheap. It is driving me freaking crazy!

Lol. I've played with mine lots and have come to the conclusion that if you
don't look at it up close, Fvck it. The rear is pretty-much unadjustable short of sliding it back/forth. You can adjust the front by modifying the sliding clip/bracket but if it gets tapped it will pop out of shape again.
Just realize the body style is 10+ yrs old now, very different technology than those of today.

You are kidding right? $42k cars with poor fit and finish! I love how
everybody defends these over-rated pieces of ****! It has nothing to do with technology, it has everything to do with quality control. I hate to be the bearer of reality, but there is a reason whey consumer reports named the 2000-2002 s4 as top 5 worse engines, as far as problems go!
Its like everybody here has beer gogles on when it comes to this heavy POS! I guess I will have
to live with yet another audi shortcoming!

Not necessarily, my car has warts, they all do, I just like it too much to dump it.
This is the first car I've kept longer than 3yrs, ever. Nothing can replace it currently. Audi has good and bad qualities(most of the bad is AoA related, not product) but the feel this car produces is pretty wonderful overall. Great interior, good looks(minus bumper/fender gaps), and a solid/safe performer is what I looked for. Having come from another B5 and two A3 VWs I knew what to expect... just didn't think I would still have it.
I paid ~$40,895 for mine as ordered from the dealer, still think it was worth it, even after asking Audi to buy my first S4 back(lemon).
