its mising the top piece.
you can clean up your tail lights real good.. take the time to polish em with some plastic polish. even toothpaste may work some. Then mask off the tail light area and spray paint the black part. Should restore em pretty decent.
You could probably repair taht hole in the original bumper pretty easily and spend that $300 on a 1day paint job and come out pretty good looking, over the Demon kit, looks like alot of work to get that kit fitted properly. Go register on http://fiberglassforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 and post up your kit install, im sure people will help you out on installing, theres alot of guys on that forum that work with fiberglass.

I still got a little work to do on the top lip of the bumper because its not sitting right. but it works for now
Im liking it and in not a big fan of kits. I guess its because its my car

haha i have not thought about an s5 bumper. Ill check into it. The kit doesnt lookl that good right now because of no paint and what not. I think once i get it all on and slap some paint on it it will look better hopefully.
Honestly I see this as a temp fix for now as this car is my daily.
Hopefully it will be painted in the next few weeks it will look better than (hopefully)

yea ditch the kit try to get what you can back out of it..s5 front bumper with a lip/feed/stock/etc.. believe me you will regret having the demon kit in about a year..you will throw up in your mouth walking to your car one morning. ha ha good progress but look in the pic threads and see what mods people already have done and the finished products and see what fits you just dont buy spare of the moment..words of advice young grasshopper

whats the origins of this kit? i think it was some american designed kit right? american made kits dont tend to look as good as their jdm counterparts.
Remove the mesh grill and do some clear front bumper signals might make it look better.. then Get some bolts and i say mount ur plate there.

Yeah, I'd say leave the stock fan on. But if you really must, there are 4 nuts right behind the blades of the fan, IIRC.
Glad you're going with the S5 bumper instead. That kit looks like too much. Stock body looks best, IMHO. Speaking of stock, why did you ditch the S4 tail lights??? Yours looked perfectly fine. Also, have you done a major tune-up since you picked it up? Tranny oil, rear-end oil, coolant flush, etc. I'm surprised nobody mentioned anything about it so far. Or maybe I missed it...
Anyway, nice progress with your car. Looks like it's coming together pretty well in a short amount of time. Keep it up and keep the updates coming!
