Wow, that is very unique looking. I am looking forward to seeing more.

There is one thing that drives me bonkers is that there is a mixture of s4 and S5 trim pieces. I do understand that they are a bit in obtainoum now though.

I like the side skirts. I recognize them as ones I considered for mine. What are those?

Keep up the good work!!

Thanks Jeff! And the trim bugs me too haha, I'll most likely source some s4 side trim and paint match it. It's a never ending project for sure, still need to fix my hood gap too.

The body kit is a gp sports rep (never buy duraflex it took waaay too much time redoing all the fiberglass)

The front bumper cover is s5 trim as is most of everything else besides the front fender trim, that is s4.

Most will just convert to all s5 because the front and rear bumper covers match better. I could not find any aftermarket S4 bumper covers, they have all been discontinued.
