Understand it would not be for sale for 30K, but was just trying to get a sense of what you all meant by ruined…
from that perspective i guess i agree somewhat. i hate to go here, but you could say the same thing about the JHM charger. the modifications to the stock RS to install this equipment would "ruin the car) to some (and would seem by your definitions your included in that some) a JHM charger would ruin the great looks from the factory. after all you lose a set of lights. your frame is also “hacked” as you put it. you could not go back to stock with out welding a piece back in the frame, although you could get your lights back.
I saw the bag setup at H20 and the only modification was one screw hole in the wheel well area to ground the compressors.
do I think that what FT did, or installing Stasis MS, or installing a JHM charger, or painting headlights black inside or shaving fendors off is ruining the RS4 no… but would seem like based on this thread all of these activities would ruin the RS by your definition.
