ok I know there was a thread about this not to long ago, but i couldnt find it. How hard is it and what do I need to do to get an S5 front bumper on an S4? Is there anyone here who has done this?

everyone and their brother has done this since the 89's came out (people used to buy wrecked 86's and steal an 89 to put it together)



um you need the bumper and the reinforcement behind it.

you may want to reuse the rubber "gasket" from the S4 bumper to make up the space difference

side moldings wont quite match, you can get S5 moldings, but then you will also need a S5 rear bumper to complete the package

side mouldings dont have to be done, it looks wierd with the wrong ones though.



i dont think it looks bad without the door mouldings, but you need the ones at each end, the lights look odd sticking out by themselves
