If anybody knows of some good websites that has body kits, please email me at jwatson7489@yahoo.com or just post!

Thanks a Ton for your time,

Joe

Not a problem. There are some things you need to know first.
The C5 A6 came in two body styles. The 2.8, 2.7T and 3.0 models are called the narrow body models. The 4.2, S6 and RS6 are widebody styles. Almost all of the body components of the two different body styles are different, and thus are not interchangeable.

That being said, for widebody models like the 4.2 and S6, the OEM RS6 kit will fit with minor modifications to the car. For the A6 4.2, the OEM RS6 bumper, side skirts and rear bumper all fit. The exhausts fits as well too. You will need the bumper supports, foglights, and grilles to get the bumper to work. You will need the side skirt and door blade replacement trim for the sides. Rear bumper should mount up nicely. S6 is the same story - except rear bumper, since S6 came only in the Avant.

There are a handful of A6 4.2's with the RS6 conversion's and only one S6 that I know of (probably more out there) that has done the conversion as well.

For the narrow body, check out lltek.com. They make a modified RS6 bumper that looks great. Unfortunately every color match paint job they have done, doesnt quite 'match.' It looks terrible IMO, so get it painted elsewhere.

Good luck.
