Default Why'd the turkey cross the road?

I guess an RS4 bumper is the obvious choice (silver lining?) here. I'd imagine Rojo is still *the* place to go in the Northeast to get such work done? I guess I'll try contacting Jimmy to see what he has to say. My concern is that with a lighter color, the bulges from molding the RS4 bumper to an S4 stand/stick out below and are not attractive. Also, I'd want to get clear-bra again, and wonder if places have the template for the B5RS4 bumper.

Anyway, here's the result of my encounter with a turkey yesterday. At least it wasn't an Easter Bunny.

Default No template for the B5RS4 bumper, had to get mine custom

done at a $$$ shop .. Did a beautiful job, however cost me an arm + leg .. Custom Clearbra on that bumper ran me 500 beans.

Default Mark, look up Marc Snyder and find out who did his RS4 bumper...

His was one of the few installs that had no bulge under the IC's.

And, I am sure whomever he used is closer to you than RoJo...

Default I think any competant shop should be able to get rid of those bulges. I'm not body buff

but, I think making a V cut on the under side of the bumper when molding the edges would eliminate the sag.

Default i went under the bumper and put 2 screws up into the rad support...no bulges

short, self-tapping screws did the job perfect.
