Default S4 Facelift

So i hit a tire on the road in the middle of the night and it ripped out the right side grill of my stock bumper, so i picked up this Reiger RS4 Bumper that didnt come with the mesh. The rieger RS4 bumper came with A4 foglight housings, so i shaved that **** off and left the intercooler ducts open. It looked a little bland so i decided update my s4 with the new audi LED strip light craze. I love the way it turned out, and it looks awesome at night with the standalone foglight mod.

Just goto oznium.com, and order the white LED strips. If the 9" ones are sold out, just buy the 19" ones and cut them to size. The strip works in quadrants so dont worry if 2 or 3 of the LED bulbs don't work because you might've cut it in the wrong place. 2 of mine dont work on the outer edges, but dont tell anyone :/ Since i couldnt have foglights anymore, i just tapped into the foglight wires and i can flick em on and off like fogtlights(i also recommend doing the independent fog light mod). Just stick em on wherever you please, it was easy for me cuz i just stuck em on the top edge of my intercooler duct. I don't know where you guys would put it on the stock bumper :P, you're on your own with that.

Kudos on the LED's, you did a good job.

I hate to be a buzzkill but i liked it before better. maybe its just the angle... have any shots off to the side a little bit? Still from the front...

I would have gone with another OEM bumper, RS4 mod, and mesh from lltek. see below....

I really like your car though, i even saved some pictures of it to my HDD because i was really feelin the wheels and black roof, just not that bumper. It also looks kinda pale compared to the rest of the car, i know its hard to paint match imola.... or maybe its just the light from the LED's screwing with me




PS. Tires on the highway are fuckign scary as ****. Me and my buddy were going NY to MT in his WRX and the first night really late a semi 1/4 mile in front of us has a blowout and all the sudden a huge tire comes flying straight at us. After that we said **** it and stopped at the next hotel, we were so tired and didnt see it coming untill the last second

i think a sweet spot on the stock s4 bumper would be the bar that goes across the bumper, theres a little grove you could stick them in and pointing them backwards towards the IC's would kind of give it a glow effect, might look pretty sick. as for the blowing up tire, mythbusters proved that the flying rubber can kill ya if it flies through the window

it is tough matching that imola, I'm going through that right now. The friggen OEM bumper took forever to fit right, how does that RS4 reiger bumper fit?
