this is the "rob lip" really helpful, and response time is almost right away. fitment is dead on. i cut the bottom piece of the bumper but its not necessary to make it fit. he even left the ends (by the fenders) alittle long so i can cut them to my liking.

edit: btw this is when i was installing it, along with the intercooler. so i kept putting it on and off the car to check for fitment, hence the finger prints all over the bumper and lip lol

What year is your car? All these suggestions are for S5's.

Don't forget the S5 trim and rear bumpers too, or the S5 bumper wont match up to the S4 trim!

IMO, the hard to find aero kit lip for S4's is very nice while keeping stock lines. The lip, aero guards and OEM mudguards looks sweet!

Ill be the first to throw up a combo breaker.

Its not for everyone but I love my kit. its not everyday you see a FC, and a kitted one on the streets is pretty rare in my opinion.


Hopefully ill repaint in a year and knock out more of the imperfections but I love it.

If you really want a car that stands out, go for the kit.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure that they came only on the jdm s5's.

Mine's the replica made by JKL Racing.

^ Nope. They were an option on s5 turbo II's here in the states. Possibly only 90-91....can't quite remember.

The "RobXX7" lips are beautiful in person. Great fitment. I believe he stopped selling them, but might be willing to mold another if you contact him.

^ahh, pretty interesting.

The lips RobsXX7 makes are indeed beautiful and can be installed so easily too. The screw holes already come dimpled on the lip its self. U just have to drill em out accordingly depending if u have an s4 or s5. if hes still making em, id be interested in buying a second lip for back up. Having a really narrow driveway entrance, and a lip dont mix too well hahaha
