What are you going to do with it when you're done? I'd make you an offer IF it looks good.

Thought about doing this. I think I am going to just go for the OEM S4 instead. I want the clean look and I don't really see any possible way to do this and have it look good without lots of time and work. You know what they say "Time is money"

the bumpers are completely different. you might get the lower part to look similar but you'll never get the clearance of the s4 bumper

the s4 bumper sticks out farther so you can fit a much bigger intercooler
