Default Well, got the car back finally....3 months away from my baby...

Very happy w/ the end result...the RS4 front bumper was trully a pain in the ****. Have some minor details that will take care of next week (1 being more support brackets to bring up the bottom of the bumper). Paint is def glass now, just have to wet sand a couple more places including mirrors and should be good...I so missed this car...Pics in pic poster if anyone wants to check it out...

Default looks awesome chris!

who did the install and paint?

i think markp put some strips of sticky aluminum inside his rs4 bumper to hold up those seemingly inevitable dips on either side.

Default thanks Josh...Rainbow Paint here in MIA. I was over there

almost daily supervising during lunch time...The guy that does all the paint work for Prestige Lambo, was originally supposed to do it, but he was booked 6 months out. It was their first time doing an RS4 bumper for these guys at Rainbow, but they did pretty good. Will pull it off in a month or two and try to re-align a bit better. Hmmm, will look into alumin thing. Will send Mark an email and ask. The problem is that you can't pull it all up w/ brackets that is, or the upper portion of the bumper will start to bulge.

DIY? If so, pretty good job. I know how much of a PITA the front bumper is, I DIY'd too.

Default Which RS4 bumper cover kit is this? (more)

It looks perfect! It also has the OEM look of the
light washers that are flush with the bumper. And I
am sure it is not the OEM RS4 because you do not
have the wide-body fenders as far as I can tell.
Am I correct?

But this kit is a perfect fit. Stellar!

Does it also fit the S4 OEM foglights? The one thing
that prevented me from getting an RS4 aftermarket
kit was that I could not find one that would fit
the foglights. OR, I should say, I could not tell
from all the information I had gather via internet
that they would fit right.

I really really really like your car...

Default No, it was not a complete DIY, but the body shop had never done

this bumper before and i was there so much so i helped as much as i could, especially when the molding/fitting was done. I must have put this bumper on/off a dozen times and realligning the fenders/headlights...The owner of the body shop did not realize what he got himself into when he agreed to do it
