You are indeed.
I changed my S4 to all S5 exterior. I just don't like the S4 bumper at all. The front spoiler compliments the S5 MUCH better than the S4 as well. The S4 looks too blah...but that's just me..and Mr.NZ.

sorry for hijacking a bit but... if I have an s4... get the s5 bumper and moldings... first will the moldings fit on the s4 and ... and how would it look.

whats the difference between the s4/5 rear bumper i can never tell.

I don't know why so many people are down on the embossed logo. I think it was a nice touch. The good thing about the sticker is that you can take it off (which I'd do if had an S4 instead of an S5). As far as the poll, I think the S5 bumper is better because it accepts stock fogs, and the recessed area in the middle adds to its aggressive nature, there are less "teeth" than the S4 too, I think that has a lot to do with the S5 winning out.

I like em both, S4 silver and black trim is kinda reminisant of a Silver/Black BMW M3. S5's kinda look understated and clean looking..

S5 moldings fit fine on the S4. Looks great in my opinion.

The rear bumper on the S5 looks more smoothed out and the bottom part doesn't sweep in compared to the angular S4 rear bumper.
