Body kit for the cab? Wishful thinking?

Body kit for the cab? Wishful thinking?
I can only find RS4 kits for the big-mouth cab and later online... is there a wide sill / splitter / nice rear diffuser kit for the two-grille '05 and similar S4 Cab available anywhere? Or do I have to be satisfied with smoking 19-year-old ******** off the line with a total sleeper? (Hint: S4 cab owner, totally fine with said result. Just want a more angular look for the tastes of yours truly.}

Check LLTek, eStrictlyForeign, VFiber, etc. Lots out there, some are ok, some are total cheesedick..
Plenty of stuff made by "Horribly Overdone Motorsports"--the nice stuff is harder to find.
Some of LLTek's stuff is ok, have seen a few things on ebay. I just got my new Euro S4 Avant wing---am prepping it now; will look great.
But there's a lot of crap out there, too.

Checked all of the above...
And either nothing is available for the B6 cab (some have stuff for B7 only) or the kits look completely retarded. Which most of the B7 parts seem to as well. The LLTek rear valence is cool, but very expensive - and they don't offer it for the B6 although I think the part is the same for the B6 and B7. All of the side skirts look terrible to me - I just want something subtle like the sedan and avant doorblades, a splitter, and maybe a mesh rear valence. Eh, maybe it will just be a while before the aftermarket catches up with the cab - or maybe it just won't.

Limited market
I'm no authority but my guess is that there just isn't a lot of opportunity for customized parts for the S4 cabrio. It's another case of supply and demand.
For example take Weathertech or Audi's Monster floormats. Speaking to both Weathertech and my Audi dealer they told me the same thing when I tried to order custom fit floormats. There were so few S4 cabrio's made that it doesn't make sense to manufacture unique rear mats specifically for the S4 cabrio. So when I purchased my mats I was told by Weathertech that I had to trim the rears to fit. Audi doesn't even make S4 logo Monster mats that fit in the rear of an S4 cabrio. They told me I could buy the customized A4 mats but why would I do that?

Time to start hitting some of the 'big boys', my man....links inside..

<center><img src="http://hofeleamerica.com/new/images/produkte/Audi_A4_Cabrio/karosserie/audi_a4_cabrio_karosserie_elegance_eng.png"></center><p>What about the Hofele kits?
It appears that they offer 3 different kits that *should* work on the S4 B6.
Personally, I like the "Elegance" kit ... it's changes the B6's appearance to the more current grill style, but is subtly different ...<ul><li><a href="http://hofeleamerica.com/new/en/produkte/audi/audi_a4_b6_8h_cabrio/audi_a4_b6_8h_cabrio_vor_facelift_karosserie.html" >Hofele America</a></li></ul>
