My old man wants one for his car. Theonly one I can find is the feed Rotary extreme replica. What others are there? Pictures would be awesome. Thanks guys.

there are practically none for a S4, go with replica unless you want to pay over $500 for one, if anyone even makes one anymore?

Why would there be none for a s4 but some for a different model. Whats the difference? 2nd gen is a 2nd gen.

think your pops would like that. it says it fits S5, but your pops is a body work man, i am sure he can fix it. look at all the dents and the rocker panel he pulled out.

rowtah- it would help if you told him where to buy the lip, not just a picture of one



a s4 bumper is straight across

s5 bumper is slightly different

im sure you can figure something out if you wanted to though, maybe make the whole car S5 style since he is painting it anyways

out of plywood? Thing with fibreglass is the first time u touch something it will crack. Where as urathane wont. That is why I won't get a fibreglass lip.

I was not aware that there were differences in the bumpers between the s4 and the s5. Thanks Rob. Any cool aftermarket bumpers that sort of simulate the look of a lip and don't cost an arm and a leg?

I would think about converting the car to S5 style before its painted, I did see a bumper in one of the RX7 tuner magazines SPD Racing sent me when I bought some oil cooler lines off him



its in the volume 2 issue 1 magazine in the first few pages, its shows a black S5 car but the bumper has the S4 moldings on it so you wouldnt have to do a full S5 conversion- which is what most front bumpers would be.





someone was making some lips a few years ago, I only seen one and it flapped up and down like crazy on the highway.





shitty pic of it here, better pic in the magazine:

i gave the link rob, unless it did not work when you clicked it. it is off of corksport.



and i never really realized it either, that it is completely different.



would it be harder to convert the whole exterior to s5 though? just the front bumper alone? front bumper looks MUCH better on the s5.
