[s-cars] S4 bumper poll - thoughts please

[Vincent Frégeac]

Chris,

If you want to keep the repair costs at the lowest, the cheapest solution is
a used bumper skin. I couldn't find one on car-part.com but Force5 has two
S4 with undamaged front under the knife, one green, one black, so with a bit
of bumper epoxy, sanding and paint, you'll have a nice bumper for cheap.

Personaly, I find the LLTek too low compared to the side of the car, so it
looks like an unfinished body kit project. Much better with sideskirts,
painted lower trims and painted lower rear bumper but it becomes a not so
affordable option at this point. Now, that's just my taste and I'm sure some
people are happy with the bumper only.

And the last, best option: Don't waste your time with the front bumper. 
Add some more go fast under the hood instead and get the Paul K's leaded,
short throw, right foot upgrade so people can only look at your perfect,
undamaged, rear bumper ;-)



Vincent

Gentz,

as you may already know, I am attempting to keep my car from
being totaled.

What I would like to find out is thoughts on my front bumper, which
you can see in the following pic is damaged.

It looks like it may be cheaper to buy the lower valance from
LLtek and use it to repair my bumper. Pic of S4 with valance below:

What I'd like to find out is:

If you did the LLtek valance upgrade, what are your thoughts? Are you
happy with the results, does the bumper scrape? If the crack on teh
pasenger's side of the bumper is repairable can I use the valance on
my bumper?

Look wise do you prefer the stock bumper or the one with the LLtek
valance?

Thanks
Chris

Make April 15th just another day http://www.fairtax.org
