Search a little harder and you will find the Racetec for under $800


That core might work. YOu will just have to make your own mounting brackets.

I thought so too which is why I was trying to get these guys to make one, but that turned into a huge FAIL on their end. I would actually love to find another person or company that would be willing to make a low cost FMIC for the A4 1.8t that was in the $400-$600 range.

Yes they do if they are more then 6" tall. This is why most of them are 2" thick when taller then that.


Did you measure the bumper support just in the center or out near the bumper shocks?

Click on the link up above that says UserCP. When it loads you will see a long list of links on the left side. 2nd one in the 3rd group will say Edit Signature.

I was dealing with someone that said they were going to make a B5 version of the B6 kit they were selling, but they flaked and I haven't heard from him for 2 months. Just too much lying about it being shipped to me and then nothing.
