what you need to do is put up a diy with part numbers and where to get them. the front is basic but the rears are a little tricky

Heres a few pics (maybe better angle) to get a feel for and imagine how the hood will blend in with the extension, yet keep the same hood line. I roughed up the hood so i could attach the extension with some good grip. And i am trying to decide whether or not to use the stock headlight sprayer caps as dummies for an "OEM" look (Last 2 pics).

I have to say, you've got ***** for giving this a shot. So far, not bad. It definitely makes the front look longer and as others have said, it looks like you'll need the whole package to make it appear good (side skirts, lowered etc).

It's nice to see mostly positive reponses on this forum. I know for a fact on others there'd be nothing both flames. It seems there's a legion of fashonistas out there that believe there's only one way to mod an Audi (scraping the ground, debadged, have black rims, etc), and that if you deviate from their opinions, you deserve to be insulted. So I'm glad you're trying this out and will be watching your progress.

Nice work so far.

I wish i had a fast forward button too, but here's a little late night Laker's halftime molding session (still needs about two more passes).

Wow man, nice work. Im just in awe at the way it looks.


I think the thing most people were off about was the way the bumper was blending with the b5 lights. If that makes sense. But personally, I love the look.

Can't wait till we can see it done. And I wish I had the fab skills you do. Props for taking on such a project.
