Don't quote me on this but I don't think the fenders are the same near the front for S4-S5. It doesn't quite fit up against them well. The car looks awesome though, you just gotta do something about the bumper sagging in the middle.

Nice pics! Well I'm pretty sure the sagging is because the grill is gone..but I know theres 4-5 bolt holes on the underside in the front where the stock front lip mounts, try running some zap straps through there to somewhere on the frame, should work I think. Also maybe the bumper just can't reach because it's sagging?

Oh also, did you get new front turnsignal lenses?..because those things look mint!

you're going to have to retrofit the bumper. loosen the screws and have them only hand tight. align it, and then tighten the screws down where you want the bumper to sit. other than that, always good to see home grown love for the 7.

I agree with puhpaper. How was the bumper installed? When I did my conversion, I snugged the fasteners and aligned the bumper, then tightened in sequence.

That is as good as I want to do, haha. I put in some effort, but I am sure someone else could do it better.
