No fogs fit because its not stock. Personally, I think a shaved washer cap/ liscense plate, painted lower valence, stock A4 bumper looks better than a stock s4 or rs4 bumper. It looks 2 million times better than the reiger ever will, personal opinion.

 

Not only are the OE RS4 bumpers expensive, they are also made for the wider body of the RS4 and require a lot of modification to fit and often times it looks less than perfect. I'd either repair the one you've got or go S4.

The PO of my S4 put one of those RS4 rep bumpers on and I have been on the lookout for a stock replacement for quite a while. They are usually fiberglass and ****.

 

why is it that some of the s4 bumpers i see for sale are missing the middle horizontal line that runs from left to right of the bumper where it would separate the grills?

 

beacuase they did the rs4 look 'mod' aka cut the middle piece out

 

maybe I'll check that out eventually. in the mean time I'll probably keep the stock bumper since I was planning on checking out a pair of stock fogs with the HID mod on them later this afternoon.

I have to take the bumper off to replace the bulb that broke anyways so I'll try and either get the headlamp retracted and working or just take it out all together. how hard is taking off the bumper? if it's a pain then i may go ahead and get HID's ahead of time along with led brights and turn signals so I only have to take it off once. at least for a while.

 

What dumbass told you you need to take the bumper off to change the lights? Smack that person.

I can have my bumper off in 3 minutes. I can have the lights out in 3 minutes.

 

good to know i don't have to take the bumper off after all. so looks like this weekend will involve replacing my valve cover gasket, turn signal bulb, and maybe replacing my fuel filter.

 

if your doing the vc gasket, not 100% sure if your up for it but it is worth replacing the cam chain tensioner gasket and valley plug as well. Just to have a complete job and not have to take it back off.

 

do you have any links for this and know if I'll need any special tools?
