How's a nice OEM S4 grille sound? That'd look tight with the imola yellow and the stylin' German Flag badge on the front.

I was actually thinking about doing that..... But I heard that u have to get different fenders and headlights to fit cuz I'm pre facelift.... Is there any truth to this? Plus finding an s4 front and rear
bumper would be hard

Convert your car to a JDM Integra Type R front end with a Nissan S14 Silvia rear end.

If you're dead set on blowing all of it, then you're off to a good start. Throw in chrome S4 door mirrors and an A8 brake upgrade too. Look at picking up S4 side skirts and front bumper and a Magnaflow 14816 muffler too.

Personally, I'd hold onto more of it though - about a month after it's gone something is gonna break and you'll wish you had some cash in the bank to handle it.

Even smarter - throw a grand into a Roth IRA and add to it every couple months. Pay yourself first.

There's no engine parts to spend it on - there's basically nothing engine-related for the 12v. And what you heard about needing fenders and lights from the facelift car to make the S4 bumper work is untrue - it'll bolt right up without those parts.
