it'll fit, but look strange without the s5 side molding.

just look for pictures on s4's with s5 bumpers.

they should fit I am pretty sure the bolt pattern that it has to mount on to the fender are the same.

duo2999 is right the molding will throw it off though

I'm not sure that S5's even came with that gasket.
Mine certainly didn't and there were no telltale staple holes indicating one had ever been installed.

That said, I pulled one from a S4 and put it in.
I think it makes the joint between the nose and the fenders look more finished.

s4 had the gasket, s5s did not

it gets in the way when you wax, not sure how much it closes the seam up, I would only use it on a black car, the black gasket on white cars aint so hot

the paint is over 10 years old, but last winter I did a full s5 conversion and changed the hood.
But you cant tell which parts of the car were done last year or 10 years ago.
