DAMMMMMM!

While here, I have a stupid question. I have an A4 and was looking at the RS4 front bumper. That wouldn't work would it? So what is the difference between the S4 and RS4? Sorry for my ignorance!

old news...the one in the link is the OEM, therefore it being wider than the A4 you have. Particularly would not fit your car unless you buy the whole widebody kit, hence the $10K price.

There are RS4 kits that arent widebody and will fit your car with mininum fab. work. Majority of them are cheap though.

@ AudiGuy actually that's where I was looking but then he showed that so I assumed that all RS4 were ment for widebody and wouldn't fit my fenders. Thanks for clearing that up!

Ok, so I'm pretty confused again sorry for my ignorance! Will a STOCK RS4 bumper just bolt on to an A4 and line up?! I've been looking online for aftermarket bumpers, BUT my father-in-law owns an autobody shop and can get me STOCK parts at a hell of a price! Also can someone link me to a pic of a STOCK S4 front bumper?! Every Search I try I get after market ones like the RSR one from LLTek.com Thanks for any help I'm just trying to learn the differences!

Also if anyone knows the part #'s I would <3 you! no homo

i dont think the rs4 bumper will bolt right on to the a4. but if your father in law owns a body shop you should be able to look that up if he has a parts program. if not check out rieger body kits http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/r...1-p-54404.html

Thanks Audiguy, That was what I thought the S4 bumper was, it's an improvement over stock but I still really like the RS4. I had looked at the Rieger but that price and same with the RSR $600ish... but I can get stock RS4 bumper for roughly $380. I mean worst case we shave the bumper but I REALLY don't wanna do that!

And the cross lines, which is the part that turns me off.
