Default question on parts source and body kits

This may be in the wrong section but i figured since im buying parts for an 01 a4 b5 may as well start it here where the majority of the forum users are.

I recently came across an online parts source andysautosport.com and was wondering if anyone here had used it before. Looking for reviews or experiences from actual people here on using it if they have. The prices seem very promosing and a lot of things ship free via ground which is nice if your not in a hurry.

Any info is greatly appreciated looking to pick up a body kit and wheels from here.

As for the body kit. They have a vis s4 style kit with dual exhaust ports in the rear bumper im interested in. Anyone ever bought kits grom this company or of similar design? Is it a quality part or am i looking at a total nightmare trying to fir these on my car?

You don't have a dual exhaust so I'd stay away from that. Leave it stock or get OEM S4 parts.

Anyone know if this source and or that company is reputable or anyone try using it for anything. I could opt for a different kit but to get oem s4 bumpers is ridiculous like 300$ a shot

I'm pretty sure you're going to have a nightmare trying to install. I doubt it would line up well and you'll probably be on your own for mounting it

$300 for an s4 bumper is a steal...

After looking the bumpers on that site, I'd say your car would look better with no bumpers. And that VIS one may the worst of them all, please don't put this on your A4 Vis Racing RSR Rear Bumper for 00-01 Audi A4 at Andy's Auto Sport

As for the site itself they have some legit brands but I've never heard of it.
try:
ecstuning.com
mjmautohaus.com
purems.com
partsforeuro.com
audis4parts.com

there may be a few more places listed in the FAQs

haha alright thanks for all the imput i was just trying to locate some parts that werent super pricy thats all. S4 bumpers being a steal @ 300$ means i wont be getting them most likely then. I want a kit for the car but having a full blown family limits the car budget lol.

Gonna keep looking i guess.

I need a boost guage, turbo timer, S4 kit or bumpers, and aftermarket wheels for this summer. 17". Gonna keep the stock 17" allows for winters only. I wantto paint the car with my income tax this summer so im looking to get a kit ready for then so it can go on for paint atthe same time.

I'll have to look into it but if it's just a spruced up version of my current one id rather not buy it at all. Is there no one that sells S4 replica bumpers unpainted that wont brake the bank. according to these guys this isnt an actual S4 bumper its just a euro replacment that sorta fits the A4.

Idc if its no a legit bumper right off an S4 or if the body shop might have to tweak it and such b4 paint as long as it will bolt up unpainted.
