http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/1228793277.html

ok i dont know which car to pick up. i want the red because the body is the exact same as my fc and i need it for the core support,rad and a few other parts but it does not have a title. i want the white one so i could do an s5 conversion, it has a title and the tail lights that i want oh so very much. will the s5 parts fit my s4? keep in mind i just want a core support and rad but once im done i will get rid of the car that im getting so its not just scrap. i've arranged to pick up one of the cars tomorrow so i need help asap please

Just so you know. They are both s4 cars. You can tell the white one is because the front bumper is an s4 bumper. So either way you are getting a s4. So I guess if i were you, you may as well go with the white one cause it has a title and it will be easier to get rid of

well it just prolly has a after market paint job on it, and they painted the mouldings too. nothing too special. but it has S5 lights, and thats just an added bonus IMO.
if nothing else if the lights are in good shape you could sell them and make some of the purchase price back
