How do the fog lights fit in the front or is that not an issue? I have noticed that Projektzo
does not offer those pieces for the 99.5.

Do people usually have these kits installed for them?

Are there any on the east coast that one could see in person?

I've been trying everywhere to find out about body kits for the 99.5. It seems that more often than not the current body kits are NOT compatible with the 99.5s. ABT and Projecktzwo are two top selling manufacturers who DON'T fit. I do believe the Reiger kits fit though. I also will be the future owner of a 99.5 and want a body kit as well.

I've posted about this before on this forum and got no responses, so it doesn't look like word is getting around. If you find out, let me know.

Q: How do the fog lights fit in the front or is that not an issue? I have noticed that Projektzo

A: The kits available for the A4 are (at least every one I know of) usually made in Europe or overseas and are made for Euro spec cars. There are fitment differences between U.S. and Euro spec cars. Some modification is usualy necessary for the part to look and fit like a factory part.

The A! S system kit has been available in it's same form for quite some time now. It will most likely fit the body design of the current gen. A4 as well as earlier generations (which is not always perfect, unfortunately). It may need some fitting and a bit of prep work which you do need a good shop to do. The parts come from the factory in Europe are definitely not paint ready.

I had Vortrag modify the front S bumper to use the U.S. 5 mph. bumper spec and to house the headlight washer system. These modifications were custom and required an extra charge of materials and labor.

I kind of doubt they have updated the kit for fog lights. So far I have not seen this and again, this is something that can be done by the tuner for an extra charge.


Q: Do people usually have these kits installed for them?

A: Installation is not something I would recommend to anyone who is not really experienced at it. You could easily damage the parts.


Q: Are there any on the east coast that one could see in person?

A: That I don't know.

Good luck!
