Uh, I vote for no. First of all, good luck getting that kit painted. Second, it's kind of an ugly kit. I think it only looks good in certain applications and I don't think the RS4 is one of them.

your gonna spend a fortune getting it painted, your best bet on cost would be just to get new lips

That kit is S-I-C-K.

If you can find the body shop to paint it, go for it.

Remember, it's what you like, not what everyone else likes. If I did everything that everyone else approved, I wouldn't have done squat to my box.

lol, well I'm not telling him not to jump at it, I'm just saying that if hes worried about spending a mint getting it ready for his car he might wanna look into a lip kit

also with you being up north if you drive the box during the winter and you do get that kit I'd suggest swapping back to the stock bumpers/skirts during the snowy parts of the year, or when the show season ends just to keep from damaging the kit, I'm in the south and I'm planning to swap out the front pumper back to stock at the end of the month

no, the knockoff FAB kit is played out. The real Fabulous kit is hardly ever seen. and yes theres a difference between the knockoff and the real thing.

I agree... this is overplayed, but if you are going to get a body kit... get the real FAB kit.

the kit he posted isn't overplayed, and its flex fiber, it'll handle rocks alot better then fiberglass, and probably as good as the stock bumper

I was lookin at this kit because it just recently came out so not many have it or have even seen it. Plus it is made in the US for our US model xb's. Not nearly the work to get it to fit.
I would go with a wide body but that is alot of molding and the cost of paint was mentioned earlier.

I am glad to see the response to my question though. It is nice to see everones opinion. Helps a guy out.
