Front bumper cover for TII s4

I really didn't like my front bumper cove because it was some over the top fiberglass job and it was cracked. But now i really don't like it since it broke apart.

I have been looking for a new bumper cover, but every aftermarket thing i see looks like crap to me.

I like the stock look but I would like something with more of an opening for a fmic and a little more aggressive.

I heard the shine bumper covers aren't too over the top but i cant view pics on their website since it is under construction.

I searched for bumper covers and didn't really find too much accept for the shine thing.

I would really appreciate some suggestions and some pics.

Thanks

Looks like $350 from shine. Do you know if i can find it cheaper anywhere else?

I only asked because i looked around and all i found was A site in the UK that was selling them. Actually they had a picture of your car for their example.

Two low-budget choices for you...
1-Get a stock S4 bumper and hack it up.
2-Get a stock S5 bumper, a little more aggressive looking and a bigger front opening.

Yep, that is my old car (sold it too Zach), and Shine made me a good deal so I told them they could use the image.

No. The shine kit is actually for a S5, but as you can see my old vrt was a S4. Despite what people think, the S5 fenders are exactly the same as the S4 fenders, except for a few mounting holes which are only slightly different (not enough to worry about).

I ordered the shine bumper cover today.

I cant wait to see it I hope it is as nice as it looks in pictures, since it was $350 and I had to spend $125 on shipping.

Thanks for the recommendation.
