18 posts? please go buy a different vehicle if you want a bodykit , not to be rude.

[richib86]

if you feel the need to have to go that route then the rs5 rieger body kit looks the best but rieger fitment has always been iffy

Too late to "not to be rude." just asked a simple question, not for your opinion or commentary. Obviously i don't NEED a bodykit. The B8 is beautiful but may consider making her look more aggressive. Why do you NEED a 333hp 4 door sedan? You don't....you just want one. Well...i might want a body kit.

Thanks for the info. Much more appropriate than the other responses i got on this one. Have a good night!

Something like the DTM kit from the B7 would look good. But I don't see Audi doing that anytime soon.

Cause they make certain Audis look better???? Sure the B8 looks good without a kit and the kits that are available are not that great. But you can't say that about all Audis.

The great thing about modifying cars is that if you are not totally happy with your car, you dont need to sell it and buy something else, you can make it look the way YOU want

I think the oem kit for the A4 probably substituted for this.

You should have bought an Integra

People shouldn't be so quick to heap insults on this guy. It's not like he's asking where he can buy giant bi-plane wings and blue LED lights for the undercarriage.

It's true that (i) Audi knocked it out of the park with the B8 and (ii) the current body kit offerings leave something to be desired. However, assuming it's done tastefully, there's nothing wrong with making your car look more aggressive. Especially considering that the S4 looks like an A4 to most, and even those on this board would have trouble telling the difference if an S-Line rolled by.

Body kits are very popular in the 911 community. Too bad TechArt doesn't make anything for our cars.

I agree, sure the current offerings are not great. but coming from the b6 a4, I think body kits can be great (Oettinger, Caractere, Sportec)! I Had a Caractere kit on my b6 and loved it! Your comment about the Integra is just stupid! are you saying body kits do not belong on any Audis? because clearly the OP is not happy with the current offerings for our cars and is looking for something better. I personally think that the best looking b6 Audis have a kit. The b8 is just waiting for a kit that people love, If you guys dont like modifying cars then you are welcome to voice your opinion, but don't try and make others look stupid for bringing it up, I feel like I am talking to a bunch of 70 year old men over here! I thought this was a forum for modifying Audis and getting advice on how to maintain and enjoy our cars. I understand your reasoning for not wanting to mess with a beautiful design like the b8 a4/s4, but be considerate of people that want something that will stand out from the crowd. How can you even compare a b8 s4 with a nice kit to an Acura Integra? what are you smoking over there? He is not asking for advice on how to fit an aluminum spoiler, nice kits are not rice whatsoever!!

Lol I just noticed that you have changed the front and rear bumper on your car? why did you not get an Integra yourself? a bodykit is not much different from your Votex rear valance and s-line bumper upgrade.

[EHesh14]

I would love to get the Rieger front bumper. Do you guys think it would flow good with the rest of the stock body or would it stand out too much?

I think it would stand out without at least the side skirts. It would be noticeably lower than the factory side blades. You would probably want to add the rear valence as well.

Why waste your time posting a stupid comment like this? Is it because your a rude SOB? I think so

[LORDOFTHERINGS]

You've hit the nail on the head. BMW's have some pretty sick aftermarket bodykit's. Why can't Audi?

[motionneon]

Thanks for the support guys. Its true...not looking for anything ridiculous. Just minor cosmetic changes. I like the Rieger front fascia but not enough to spend the money/hassel. The truth is that i was in love with the M3 before deciding upon the S4. Never owned either an audi or bmw before. Couldn't justify the outlandish cost of M3 and after driving S4 i was enamored with handling and interior/cockpit. Don't get me wrong....its a beautiful car but the M3 looks a little meaner/sportier IMO. I know not everyone agrees with that but i'm looking for something to change appearance just enough to never feel the need to leap over to BMW.

This forum is supposed to be about sharing constructive ideas on how to modify our cars so we can enjoy them to the max, and to help each other with issues that arise.

Thank you for all of the ideas.....except the one about the Integra....what a jerk off.

[willyspub]

Personally, I am a fan of the Caractere bumper and side skirts:



Although I think that Rieger has them beat on the rear valence:

[Rockst8r]

The caractere setup looks great. I love the front bumper cover!!!

[UkuRiSh]

why would you need a bodykit on an audi?

Cause Audi a4 and s4 B8 Looks almost the same , I don't know why but old b5 , b6 , b7 have more visual differents

[richib86]

i wish hoeffle would do some sort of rs5 conversion, I'm sure it would be pretty good based on what they did for the b7

My opinion, people with the Integra comment has no taste at all, or just cant afford a nice European car. I came off a Honda Civic, hence my name, and that was my car in High School. The JDM scene was big also back in the late 90's, but if you can afford it, buy a nicer car. The best hot looking cars, even so back then, are "dream cars" not P.O.S. tiny compacts (other than Alfas or Lancias). If you see a Lamborghini or a Ferrari pass by, you cant help but to notice, and not a lot of cosmetic looks for them out there because who wants to mess with perfection? (other than Mansory that makes them look horrible). So what if you see a Honda, say cost less than $20,000 (thats a brand new one at that), would you say "nice car"? Buy a $10,000 car (any car) and add $10,000 of aftermarket on it, do you still say "nice car"? If you buy a $40,000 car, it is noticeable, but not enough. Look at the market who is out there to tune these $40,000 cars, AMG, Brabus, Hamann, Alpina, Oettinger, Shelby, ABT, (Should I say more?) and do you think they would still be in business today if your ass cant even afford a basic Mercedes C-Class? I only says "wow, thats a nice car" if I see a Civic Mugen Type-R. Cause what kid will afford that? That my friends is an enthusiast.

Ummmm. So are you for or opposed to body kits? I can't tell by this reply. Anyone else have the same impression?

I am with kits, I like tuning houses, I like cars that you can make your "own".

I actually ran into this thread cause I'm looking for body kit photos and ideas.

I think this looks great...much more aggressive look. I dont think i would personally do one, but im not against them. People put body kits on R8's, so why dont you tell them to buy an Integra? Just because he wants to do it to his car doesnt mean he's asking you to do it to yours.

[richib86]

i've seen the rieger rear end in person... and much like most of there other stuff, its complete garbage with equally bad fitment

[ModBargains II]

While we dont have any full replacement bumpers at the moment, we do have a few options as far as exterior mods go for the car.
They wont completely overhaul the look of the car like a full bumper would, but it definitely gives a more aggressive look.

For the front we have the Stvbek Aero Front Lip in FRP and CF


We also just got in our brand new DTM style front lip in CF


For the rear we have an OEM style CF Diffuser available with a Silver or Black CF splitter


Finally, we have a CF Roof Spoiler for the B8



If you have any questions, or would like to place an order, give me a call at 714.582.3330 x8005!

It would be helpful if in your product pics you were to pick a surface that offered more contrast between the parts and the surrounding surfaces. The splitters in the pics get lost in the shadow of the car and it hard to see the lines of the product.

You can click the links I linked to each item to view the full listing with plenty of photos.

Let me know if you're interested in any parts, I'd be happy to help you out!

The new Relak Alphatech carbon lip looks very very promising (this is the non S-line version): http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...94#post7175594

Hello Everyone,
.
We're excited to introduce our soon to be released- AlphaTech Front Lip for the B8 Audi A4(non S-line).
.
We’ve recently completed test fitting of our prototype with excellent results and are estimating the release date to be in mid Spring.
Price has not been set but it will be competitive to what is currently available for this platform.
.
Two versions will be available, FRP AND CF.
.
S-line/S4 version is not too far behind.
.
Below are a handful of photos of the test fitted prototype, more photos are available on our Facebook page.
