    Need some opinions on... (Updated with Pictures)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ok well I was looking through good ole craigslist for some possible good deals and I came across a 2004 S4 front bumper. Is it stupid to upgrade to a S4 front bumper or would one be better off just doing the USP upgrade. I know I know its my car do what I think is best blah blah blah.. Thats why I am just looking for some opinions on the matter. Thanks in advance

    Re: Need some opinions on...

    Personally I prefer the USP to the S4 front. The S4 front looks great though, so it is your decision. You should weight the cost/labor of doing either one. If the S4 front end up being cheaper or easier to put on you may want to go that route.

    Re: Need some opinions on...

    See I really like the front of the car in the post below. But if I was to do the USP front plus molding to one piece and painting it might be more than just buying the S4 front and gettin repainted

    haha i knew someone would do it to me one day and im from Islip...yea well if i do any bumper im not putting a front plate on it ... i was thinking of a way to make a center grille with a license plate frame in it .. and for some reason i really like the unpainted lowers which is why i might just do a USP front and then do something special with the wheels to make it all tie in together ... ill probably cave in eventually my friends father owns a body shop he will end up painting them somehwhere down the road

    Re: Need some opinions on...

    OP, the s4 front you looked at on Craigs list, does it have everything??? or is it just a core bumper that has nonthing on it.

    a core bumper will cost you 2-300 more to complete the S4 front. just want you to know.
    S4 front does look very nice

    Re: Need some opinions on...

    My ears are ringing;
    Shoot me a pm if your interested I didn't plan on listing them till it got warmer out. I'm selling them because I picked up another set of wheels which Im in the middle of cleaning up. w/ or w/out tires.

    If your looking at the S4 bumper that I saw in CL then i would hop on that the center lower grill alone is 130 online. all those grills and stuff add up. Washer caps, Lower center grill , fog light grills, Center euro plate cover etc.
