Default that is up to you...keep in mind if ppl had trouble doing it.

then a body shop will just charge you that much more for extra labor installing them....i really have no idea how long it takes to install that bumper....if you have the time and patients, i'd do it myself if i were u...unless of course money is not an issue.

True. I was figuring that the shop would remove them.

Although you'd still need to leave the car for paint / color matching.

Default np...one other thing..

unless your car is black, they will need to color match it (like stated below)..and they will probably tell you they need to blend the fenders and rear quarter panels, which is a good idea, but if you decide against it, just bring them your fuel door, they dont need the whole car to color match.

Not true. Black still needs to be matched.

Default umm...i used to paint cars for a living..

the only black that needs to be color matched is blacks with metallic in it, which the S4 did NOT have...sorry, but blacks do not have to be color matched.
