[s-cars] Audi S4 '93 Rear Bumper

[brian bilotti]

Taka,
That's one of the pitfalls of email, no inflection, no
emotion, just words. I didn't think you were offending
me, ok? I just wanted to make a point about the rub
strips, if anyone goes for the aesthetics of the euro
stuff they should understand what they're in for from
the get go, ie. solid bumper struts, blah, blah. It's
really a personal decision that I would make on ANY
european car I owned because the euro stuff just looks
better.
There's another $.01 worth.....
