The AMS version is made out of poly...which should last longer and it's $35

Default You wouldn't believe how many deals that I've mustered

the out of pocket isn't nearly as bad as you might think....I've managed to sell all stock parts to offset costs. The only parts in my garage are the stock shifter and stock BPVs

And I've managed to buy and sell a few things to make some spare cash (borla and chipped ecu for $1000 = sell independantly for $1400)

I also buy many parts used (exhaudt, bpvs, chips, etc) at a significant cost savings)

I always barder (save a few hundred that way too)
I have a friend at ICP that lets me get stuff at cost (I bought the rear-view mirror w/compass for 175 (retail 275) and sold OEM for $150.
I got the porterfields for 1/2 off, since I helped out a retailer to properly size them
and I'm working with Shines beta so I get really good pricing on parts and labor.
And I do most of the installations myself
Plus the bodywork was covered (%75) by insurance.

So all in all - it's a hobbie of performance and wheeling and dealing. =)

Know anyone that wants a stock S4 IC setup? perfect condition...will ship.

or lower rear valance (silver)
or a slightly cracked (lower section) S4 front bumper cover?

S4 wheel liners? perfect cond

S4 fog/IC covers? Silver and perfect cond

S4 oil cooler? perfect condition. Do you know if it's any different than the A4 oil cooler?
