origin stylish on an s4 FC

[rx7 FC TII]

ok my TII is an s4 but the origin stylish is only made for the s5.

the only major difference i see are the fitment on the fenders and the rear bumper. i do have some experience in body work and have a good friend that is amazing with fitment.

before i make any decisions on getting this kit could i get some s5 fenders bolt them up and then do the fitment for the rest of the kit?

basically what am i getting myself into because i really like the style of this kit.

the unibody is pretty much the same.. Bodywise, I think the only major differences are the bumpers and trim... the fenders might even be the same.

Most people buy bumpers, trim, and taillights for a "S5 conversion"

If the origin kit has the front and rear bumpers, all you need is the trim. The S4 used double sided tape to adhere the molding while all of it on the S5 is clip in. If you pop the clips out and use doublesided tape, it'll work and look fine. This is what I did on my S4 when I bought the ShineAuto bumper which, as the origin, is only popped in the S5 trim.

A local guy in Chicago rocks origin. Try to find one for a good price, the distributor (Touge Factory) sells it for $1000 online, and best I found was $600 from Enjuku Racing.

As far as physical fitment of the kit:

Fenders are a little different but it will be ok.
rip off all S4 moldings, kit comes with built in moldings you only need door moldings.
Rear bumper is same fitment for both S4 and S5.

HOWEVER, if you plan to daily drive your car at all, I strongly recommend ziptie mounting unless you want to pull the kit and re-glass it al the time. FRP is fragile, it will crack and shatter if you mount it rigidly and have very low ride height.

Shine Auto stuff, for example, is a little bit more flexible and last longer, but any aero is only temporary on a slammed car.

haha yeah ive already heard about the zip ties. as far as the drifter look. well yeah i suppose thats kinda what im looking for. my car is already lowered a pretty good amount too look good and handle even better but not a slammed nasty look.

im just lookin for a kit that not everyone is rockin and looks good. i like to have rare parts and i think this is a pretty good solution for me.

well it sounds like its a pretty easy swap over compared to what i was thinking. now its time to start saving for paint and body work.
