Default I agree that RS4 is the best available alternative, but...

I'm wondering if there would be interest in a non-RS4 rip off. Is everyone here perfectly happy with the RS4? Maybe i'll make something i like for me, and a reasonable RS4 copy for the rest of you.

also, the side gills certainly aren't necessary for good air flow. Some designer thought the looked good

Default i think they would create a low pressure system and help suck air out of the vents

i think the main reason that no one wants a"body kit" on the car other than oem is because most people here like subtle. i just think its the wrong crowd. especially if you are trying to mass produce, its not about what you like, its about what everyone else likes.

Default It's actually a 3D model

It's easy to build, change, and refine (that model only took a couple hours)
I can have the shape CNC milled out of high density foam, then make a fiberglass mold off of that. Once that's done, I can make as many copies as I want, and sell them WAY cheaper than an OEM RS4.

Yea those chin lips look bad, take those out and maybe push the whole thing in to the engine more.

Default No thank you but as others have stated RS4 style bumper without the gills

and without the questionable fitment on the S4 without the sides

Default I think it's got potential

I like the overall look, bit the lip needs a tweak. I'd like to see 2 versions - 1 with no lip and 1 with a full width lip -maybe a bit smaller ( the lip that is ).
Cool project!
