Why'd the turkey cross the road?

Mark P · 04-09-2007, 06:53 AM

I guess an RS4 bumper is the obvious choice (silver lining?) here. I'd imagine Rojo is still *the* place to go in the Northeast to get such work done? I guess I'll try contacting Jimmy to see what he has to say. My concern is that with a lighter color, the bulges from molding the RS4 bumper to an S4 stand/stick out below and are not attractive. Also, I'd want to get clear-bra again, and wonder if places have the template for the B5RS4 bumper.

Anyway, here's the result of my encounter with a turkey yesterday. At least it wasn't an Easter Bunny.

driver's side hood/fender seam width for reference:

done at a $$$ shop .. Did a beautiful job, however cost me an arm + leg .. Custom Clearbra on that bumper ran me 500 beans.

His was one of the few installs that had no bulge under the IC's.

And, I am sure whomever he used is closer to you than RoJo...

but, I think making a V cut on the under side of the bumper when molding the edges would eliminate the sag.

short, self-tapping screws did the job perfect.

His was one of the few installs that had no bulge under the IC's.
