T2 hoods are the way to go man. Good luck on the turbo swap. I'll be doing an s4 to s5 body swap pretty quick here with new paint and shineauto body kit, can't wait.

Looks really good man.

I'm surprised there hasn't been anyone bashing you for putting a TII hood on an N/A, back a year or two ago this would've been a huge bash/flame thread.

Yeah, since I'm not going FMIC from the get go might as well do the hood. The swap is a good ways off. Not that I have to worry cause my motor has 50k on it.

Definitely clean and love those wheels. Have you thought about just tinting the S4 tails except for leaving the reverse light clear? I think I saw someone on here who's done it and it looked great, just cant find it. Staying S4, going S4.5 or S5 just keep that thing clean.

Thanks, if you can find that please post a link. I might do modernized S5s. The most I would do to the body is: S5 conversion, Black moldings (staying white), and a FEED lip.
