Default The hoods are for URS4's and 100's, but the trunk lids will fit any C4 chassis car (S4/S6/100/A6).
Sorry for not having cleared that up .

Default One catch - in order to pass emissions you will need to get a replacement sticker
This goes inside the hood and explains that you have an OBD-I compliant catalytic converter and no EGR, AWD and except from testing on 2wd dynos.

No sticker and you're in for a treat !

BTW: Anyone know what are the part numbers for the stickers ? Anyone tried ordering them ?

Default Good insight! I was just thinking... but...
if you buy a CF hood it'll get rid of some of that Soylent Green that's tainting your car.

Default The stock hood weighs 51lbs without anything attached and the stock trunk lid weighs 41lbs...
without tail lights, but with the hinges.

Excellent pricing. FWIW, I paid $180 to get my B4 CF hood shipped to Chicago, from FI.

Default Re: A) You can save the money and not paint them
Might have missed it but I thought CF binding materials can break down under UV. Will these be treated so you can go without paint.?
