Where do I buy S5 moldings/trim?

Just like the title says, I had to put on S5 bumper on my car to get my front mount to fit, so now I have mismatching moldings. Can someone please point me in the right direction to get some?

Thanks!

are the mouldings the only thing you need for an s4-s5 body conversion? Do you need new light housings and lenses to go with the bumpers?

All you need is the bumpers, fenders, and moldings. The headlight assembly is completely seperate from the front bumper.

I wasn't talking about the headlights, I was more concerned with the turn indicator housings. If they use the same housings as the S4 or if they use a different one.

Blackdragon is the best place for body parts IMO.

I would recommend if you just changed the front bumper get a molding for the small area before the front wheel and leave it at that. I have seen people do that and it makes it unnoticable. I will be doing that once I care enough

Thanks for the replies all. I didn't know the fenders on S5's were different. Isn't it just the moldings?

The only differences on the s4 and the s5 fenders are the holes for the s5 moulding clips. The doors have that holes too. I have a S5 bumpers with S5 mouldings around my S4 car.

Before plunking down your money for the Black Dragon front bumper, you may want to have a look at this thread from an unsatisfied customer. (I myself have no direct experience with Black Dragon parts, but I remembered reading this last year.)

you dont need to change fenders! the holes for the clips line right up. the rest of the body however (s4) doesnt have holes for the clips. I took the clips off of the molding and stuck it on with some 3m adhisive tape.

My passenger front fender molding, behind the tire, fell off. So if anyone can sell me just that one piece, I'd be happy to buy it. :T

Well... Should I just assume that the only difference in turn indicators between the s4 and s5 are their colors? IE: they are the same dimensions but just have different lense color? (Clear opposed to amber). The reason I ask is that it's no longer beneficial for me to go with an s4 body kit (as at the time I was planning on keeping it s4 because of price) but rather might possibily be able to spend less going with a complete s5 body ( 4-peice plus fenders). The reason I ask this is to simply have my money stretch the furtherest.
