Default Cars back on the road finally (lots of pics)

as most of you probably know I crashed my car into a guard rail a month back in the rain while trying to avoid hitting another car who turned without signaling [headbang] I sourced all the parts myself and did the work at a friend of the family's bodyshop that was located down the street from my house. It was supposed to be a quick fix but I ended up doing an overhaul on the car.

full respray
updated 99.5 front fenders
all dings dents and scratches removed
vorsteiner vented cf hood
euro s4 rear
modded s4 front
e-code headlights and tail lights

Looks great. Is a black or cf trunk lid something you've thought about?

I'm definitely feelin' the hood, chin spoiler, and rear bumper treatment - hoping though (and pretty sure) you meshed it underneath to keep leaves and stuff off of your engine. On the rear, is that a special S4 bumper (ie, euro-spec or something), or are all of them like that, and you just opted to black out the lower insert? I love the way that looks.
