Found this on Craigslist. I will give the guy props for building a clean car but why would you have the audacity to do this? Figured it would give you guys a good laugh for the day.

On another note this is totally better than either an S4 or an RS4...perhaps this will calm the thread down /S.

hate people like this. Even mis-advertises the rims. A5 rims... look nice as they are. Why lie and say they're S5 wheels??? people suck

I guess this is the same as those idiots that put "M" badges on their 318..lol

I had a guy at the wheel shop posing to have a RS7 by just putting on a RS7 badge on it...
and he was sticking to his story even though I kept asking him about why every other panel is from A7?

some people are just idiots....

car would be nice without the badges!

This kind of shit always cracks me up. Who are they trying to impress? Anyone who believes the badging doesn't know what it is and probably doesn't give a shit. But the people that actually know think you're a douche bag pretending to be something they are not!

Personally I'm more into debadgeing. I like sleepers.

There is basically nothing RS4 about that car. There was someone on here who did a lot more in depth "conversion" to B8 RS4. It'll still never be an RS4, but much better than this example!

Can't remember his name, he worked with the guys at TAG motorsports in SoCal and converted an B8 S4 sedan into a B8 RS4. Well, the body only. So I believe he bought all the panels from germany and the rear quarter panels were "adjusted" to be a sedan shape. Actually turned out fairly good. Still not a true RS4 without the drivetrain etc.

His name was Di or something - project is the in the b8 s4 build section - unfortunately the car was totalled not too long ago however someone picked it up at auction is attempting to bring her back to life...
