does anyone have pics of s5 bumpers on s4 bodies?

Templeswain

No but I got an S5 bumper on my garage wall. And s4 bumper hanging right next to it.

tomorrow when I clean the grarage up from my latest ring of destruction I bet I could see if it would fit.

yea i was looking at the moldings seperately and as far as i can tell it looked like they were the same size just with different shapes to the molding. my biggest concern is whether it would line up right with the rest of the car, and if it doesn't it makes me wonder if the slots for the clips on the fender moldings are the same. so what i pretty much want to know is if the s4 and s5 modlings are interchangeable

Templeswain

I'll check on that tomorrow.

I'd do it right now but I'm all clean now and my garage is a stye. I just don't wanna go out there until I have to clean it tomorrow.

Get back to ya if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Oh and are the moldings your talking about the things that line the bottem of the bumper?

im talking about the moldings that go were the turn signal lenses go the one thats about mid way up all the way around the car, i know it bolts right up so thats not a concern to me

i didn't know they were clipped on, i thought adhesive held all the mouldings on.

This was my conversion. Still need to get the moldings though.

Well I guess that the major diff is that my s4 moldings, I guess we're talking about trim here, are indented with a line that's about a half inch wide by an 1/8 inch deep and all the way accross the front.

The s5 trim (on mine) has no slight indention. Its smooth.

I don't think the moldings come off the bumper like they do the doors and fenders.

So If I put that s5 bumper on my s4, the differences in the molding in my opinion, would be subtle.

i put an S5 front bumper on my 86' N/A looked okay cept for the color difference....[three different coloures]

there should be pictures in the link in my signature!!

phinsn98, did you have to cut off yourfront brake ducts?? mine needed shortened to fit the fog lights on.

moldings didnt match, but like i said it was three different coloures......and it flushed up nice for having torqued off one of the mounting bolts.....and accidentlly leaving out the foam!!

appears that the moldings on the S5 bumpers are about a 1/8" - 1/4" higher than the moldings on the S4 fenders. Is there a difference in the fenders?

i had a s5 bumper on my 88 gtu, but i sold it before i got to change to the s5 moulding. if anybody need a complete set of s5 moulding i have it in white. $55 shipped

the s4 moulding are held on by adhesive, except for maybe the moulding that contain the marker lights. the s5 moulding are held on with adhesive and plastic clips.

Temple yes I had to cut back the brake ducts to make the foglights fit. I wish I had known then I would have gotten the original brake ducts as well. I guess I still can. As far as the trim is concerned, I've often wondered whether the trim would line up or not once I put it on.

I used the s5 bumper support and the front fascia(of course). It was a fairly easy install. since I used the s5 bumper support it came with the larger brake ducts.
