    Good call on the trunk rings. It would look really odd with fronts chrome and rear black.
    About the trunk strip, is it removable?

    you got A4 guys turning their car into S4 and getting door blades, then you have S4 guys mimicking the A4 look. Not bad though.

    i'm not really trying to mimic the a4, but the body kit was designed for the a4, and the s4 blades break up the lines. the A4 wheels are my winter wheels ;)

    Personally, it is always my opinion that the S4 blades break up the lines on all S4's. I'm glad my DTM package deleted the S4 blades, otherwise I would have swapped them out too. I guess I just never really understood them.

    Regardless of the S4/A4 look, how did you black out the modeling? Tape or kit? Cost? Time? Interested in doing mine.

    Re: some quick pics from this weekend

    I wouldnt say hes making his car look like an A4 hes clearly creating a theme for the car however I think the remaining silver on the car rings front and back and the strip are taking away from that theme and the wheels are temporary im hoping?

    weren't you the guy asking where to pick up a USP bumper?

    if doorblades and mirrors are all that make an S4, an S4, I guess that was an extra 15k well spent then right?

    it's kinda ironic, I remember you posted up pics of your car at first and I didn't really like it, but it has grown on me

    like I said before, the doorblades look fine on a stock car, but I don't like em on mine

    i'm gonna keep the rings, i've never liked the non-ring look. that rear strip will be gone. the wheels are my winter wheels, no point on rolling with my nice wheels up to the pass

    The more I see the Otty kit, the less I like it. There's just too much mass hanging down front and rear. It looks like a parade float, especially with +43 offset wheels like these. The stock B6 front and rear gives the car a squat, compact appearance. The lines flow nicely and give the car symmetry. The Otty kit ruins that, IMO.

    Re: some quick pics from this weekend

    I think your car looks good. Personally, I like the door blades but different strokes for different folks.

    I mean seriously, god forbid you were to do a little more than RS4 reps and some sort of exhaust on your S like everybody else on here!

    It's all about putting your own unique flavor into it. And saying this looks like an A4 now is totally absurd as they didn't even make the A4 in your color.

    Keep doing your thing

    nice way to ruin a S4, if Merc wheels on a Audi are bad, then the hidious bumper, A4 wheels and no door blades is 10000000000 times worse. But then again it's your car...

    Alright. I can't tell if people are just busting your balls for fun teasing that your car looks like an A4 or not, but frankly, all S4's look a bit too similar to A4's. There isn't much that differentiates them, and the fact that you changed what does isn't a big deal (although I do have a bias for the chrome mirrors)...

    Anyway, do you have closeups of the blacked out trim? I'd be interested to see the quality. Also, how did you do it? Tape off the rest of the car?

    some are serious, some are kidding, some are trolling, some just can't read. considering the A4 and S4 are the same chassis, I'd expect them to look the same when I removed the distinguishing exterior pieces.

    i'll take some pics of the trim next week, I need to drop the car off for an alignment first. and yes, I just sanded down the trim and masked the car off.

    is now a bad time to tell all these guys that it actually is an A4 and that you just finally decided to take the S4 badge back off?
