No company is allowed to make S-Line body parts. Audi has some stupid thing about it. So an RS4 bumper would be a wise decision.

Well you can't just install an RS4 bumper, you have to buy a replica (rieger for instance). RS4 is a widebody, A4 is not. S4 side skirts and rear are a good choice. What ever you get make sure it is ABS and not fiberglass.

I agree fiberglass kits will cost about $300 and thats about how much they're worth

fiberglass cracks when you hit something on the freeway also and looks like **** after stones and rocks have hit which everyone knows will happen. ABS is a better material b/c it is able to flex.

not true you can install an oem rs4 bumper but it will cost alot to have it cusum molded to fit your car. it is cheeper to just get one that already fis your car

This is off topic...im just curious to why audi would make a mid 200 hp/v6 car ( S4 ) and have it compete with the evos/sti's/etc....does it have any recognizing advantages than the mentioned cars? would it bemore sufficient if it were a 4 cylinder car? please leave comments!

What I said is true. I never said It can't be done. I implied that you can't just slap the thing on and be done with it.
