Default What could I do with $1728

I kinda want to put an S4 front bumper on my 3.0 avant, S4 blades and the S4 rear, all painted black. Doable?

Default That would likely run you $1729, so no.

On a more serious note, I still doubt it unless you could find used parts at a good price. Front bumper new is about $1000 give or take with all associated parts (new fog housing and grilles etc.), rear is close to $600 new shipped and blades are around 350. So about $2000 in just parts if new, then probably $800 from a good body shop to paint everything.
