they are a different shape and wont match the trim on the bumpers. If your going to go the route of painting the trim than just keep it S4 and paint the trim the color of the car.

because it looks better and dosent cost that much. I did both bumpers, side trim and tail lights for $350 + paint Looks much better than a body kit and is 1/4th of the price.
