Default inner fender mod

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/75373/dsc00009.jpg"></center><p>Here is a pic of my latest mod. I don't expect and power gains just better intercooling efficiency. I used a heating vent (found at Lowes) then cut it to fit. I used plasticoat paint for a durable color match.

Default why not just buy the S4 wheel liner?

Audi spent time and money on the R&amp;D to make an oem part that will withstand the elements year round and will require zero maintainance. Its not even expensive.

I dont see the reasoning behind making your own fender liners. If its the challange then ok... but for the effort of doing it, just buy the oem one, its proven, inexpensive and less difficult.
