Wow!!! Love this. Audi needs to sell these in the states

**LJO** · 04-15-2016 03:28 PM

^^^ Agreed.

Car looks great, let's see some more photos.

No idea we get screwed on the B8 RS4 Avant and all lol. I think Audi doesn't think there is a market for the performance Avant's and sportbacks. People go nuts over here in the states with the B5 S4 avants, they are becoming harder to find in good shape. We got like a 1 to 5 ratio of Avants to sedans in the S model Avant back in the B5 S4 era.

Closest we get to a S5 sport back is like A7.

Actually a friend of mine got it for me. I don't think it's OEM. It's definitely designed to fit S5 body coz the fitment wasn't that hard surprisingly, very minor body work required to fit it!

**Johnhanson** · 04-16-2016 02:03 PM

This is amazing. Imagine an RS5 sport back. Great job!

Damn that looks good! The US always gets screwed with good stuff.. From Germany and Japan.

no sport back cause rear room does not meat DOT specs
no avants because not large enough market

car looks great

i would do a rieger cf rear diffuser, or finish it off with a rs5 diffuser

yeah I'm looking into that too coz if I change to the RS rear I gotta change my mufflers to fit the rear since S5 one sticks out.

Finally had a chance to take some photos today. Been raining all week. Here's some clearer pictures of my new bumper :)

Now you you just need to remove the V6T badge & put on the Supercharged badges on the fender. They will look awesome and compliment your all black combo adding just the smallest splash of color ;)

Man those sport backs are tough, too bad Audi doesn't bring them to the US :/

Your car is beautiful. I really wish we could get our hands on those sportbacks.

Love this car, favorite sportback on AZ!

**changareth** · 04-18-2016 11:58 AM

Car looks fantastic man. I love it. I would probably black out the trim myself. You don't have any silver trim on the grille or rings so
I think it would look good black.

Stealth mode activated lol

Would love to know where that bumper is from. Would you mind asking your friend where they got it?

Thanks.

**FamousLastWords** · 07-20-2016 09:06 AM

Love what you've done to the car. That RS front works so well with everything else, and the mirrors are a great touch. Nicely done!

**aku** · 07-30-2016 01:38 PM

Car looks great!!! Would also like to know where you sourced the bumper and carbon mirror caps from, thanks!
