Labor for me was $550. Paint was on top of that.

Default Tomorrow ? You just want to put a whoopin on my slow *** car ! Never !

haha ..

Not sure about tomorrow, but I wouldn't mind going down to Simmply's party, or grand opening or whatever he wants to call it (better be something to look at besides cars and guys)

Are you going ? Swing by and pick me up, I'll throw down a few bucks for gas to ride shotgun in your beast if you decide to go.

Default Yes you can...use the real RS4 mesh instead of that poser metal stuff- ->

j/k...it looks nice. But I everyset I have done was done with the real RS4 mesh and it holds up perfectly...

Default wow...my bad. Doesn't it look more open the mesh on mine? - - >

my eyes are getting bleary staring at that pic..something looks different.

Obvious is the lack of center bar and fog surround.. maybe that's it...the fog surround missing might be making it look more open.

Did you keep the outer fram from the stock mesh or is the RS4 mesh applied directly to the Nogaro frames...can't tell. Maybe that is it.

Either way, I have always lusted after your car...I think yours is one of the few that have gotten the paint on the hood done right!! Near perfect!! I would make the grill trim black though...and absolutely do e-codes!!!

Default That is the normal process for an aftermarket bumper. I paid about $800 to fit an OEM RS4 bumper on

my car. If you are a perfectionist you most likely won't be happy with the fitment. I am not very pleased with how mine fits so I'm going to take it off at some point and do some tweaks to it myself and have it repainted. You are going to have a problem with the bumper bowing out on the bottom on each side and you will have a nice gap where it won't meet up with the fender liners. I corrected most of the bowing on the bottom and I'm working on making pieces out of an old fender liner to fill the open gaps on each side. By the way, the only reason I had a shop do my bumper was because it was done through insurance, otherwise I would have done the damn thing myself and have it come out much better than those "proffesionals" out there. Best jobs I've seen on other people's cars have come from Rojo however.

Default I've seen it too, that's why I think it looks like crap. It reminds me of those drag hondas lol. Oh.

...and not to mention the missing molding pieces that make it NOT flow with the rest of the car at all.
