B8 RS4 saloon? Box-flare arch conversion on a B8 S4

Post by jaygemson » Thu Oct 30, 2014 10:29 pm

Apologies if this is a re-post, but I couldn't help but share. This is absolutely stunning, IMO.
Dennis Tang’s B8 S4 features an OEM RS 4 box-flare fender conversion performed by TAG. This car is incredibly unique and the only B8 RS 4 conversion I know of… much less a sedan. The car rolls on some super sexy HRE wheels that harken to the factory RS 4 alloys though larger diameter and with a more exotic finish. It also features E-code headlights, a dialed in suspension, AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Kit, AWE Tuning B8.5 Stage 2 Performance Kit with G.I.A.C. software and a handful of other nice touches to make this car exemplary of the OEM plus style.

Not really makes the front look a lot better than currently is IMHO

I agree that the box arches are what really make the white car in the photos special, but the B8 RS4 front bumper alone would help a lot in lifting the appearance of the pre-facelift S4. I'd be interested in this too Rob.

It's a shame it's an S4 underneath and not had an RS4 engine put in (I know with a map the V6 is faster, but it doesn't sound like a V8).
