RS4 bumper and IC shroud question...
I have an RS4 bumper and IPP IC's and the stock shrouds no longer fit because of the RS4 bumper. Would the fix to this problem be to run RS4 shrouds?
And for your trouble, here is a picture from earlier this winter.

RS4 IC's have 15 charge row, IPP's have 10 or 11
So the RS4 shrouds are wider than the IPP IC's. I'm not sure how tall the IPP's are but the RS4 IC's are shorter than the stock IC's. So the RS4 shronds are also shorter overall. If you use the RS4 shronds you might be cutting off part of the top of the IPP IC if they are taller overall than the RS4's and you will definitely have a gap in the edge, on the bumper side.

Thats exactly what I thought in terms of dimentions.
Would it still be better to run the RS4 shroud or just run shroudless? Is it even an option to modify the stock S4 ones to fit with the RS4 bumper?

I wouldn't run shroudless. I think it would be best to try and modify the stockers
Just hack the sh*t out of them if need be. If you mess up you can pick up a used set for real cheap. Just about everyone who has upgraded their IC's probably has stock shrouds sittin around.
