    FYI not sure if you guys know but in Canada the UPS a4 don't have the UPS rear like you guys do
    So we only have the a4 rebar and the s4 rebar?
    Elton,

    I spoke w/ Turbavanttro today and he said you were having some issues w/ the rear bumper.

    You are going to need to run the USP upper rear bumper cover w/ the USP rebar (or a modded standard rebar) if you want to run the Sportec rear valance. The standard A4 bumper cover sticks out further than the USP (aka euro) rear bumper and will not work for the Sportec rear.

    Oh, and don't mold the front, it will just crack from the stress. I epoxied/screwed mine to the stock front upper bumper and it's held up well. Sikaflex 242 works well for the glue.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Arc, yeah now I know I need a USP rear+rebar to fit the Sportec rear
    I found a USP rear bumper in the classified so I'm talking to the seller on if he will ship it over.
    I still need to double check the Part # for the euro rebar

    IIRC, people have just modded the stock rebar to work w/ the USP rear bumper. Do a search here on AZ as I know it's been done before...

    I've shipped stuff (whole body kits) to Canada before using Fedex Ground. The caveats: There is a limit on the size so the seller will have to make sure it fits within their dimensions (otherwise it ends up as freight which is triple the cost). Also, it needs to be sent from an Fedex-Kinko's location, not a mailboxes etc type place. GL!

    I'll let the seller know, he probably knows better than I do.

    I've seen the rebar fab on here probably gonna do that instead of getting a rebar but just in case.
    I already e-mailed the body shop the modded rebar DIY for reference.
    The body shop has the front/sides installed and they are gonna go ahead with painting those pieces first and have extra paint while I source the rear section.
