PRICE REDUCED...ALREADY! FS: 2000/Audi S4/6sp/Silver/Onyx/65k/Stg2+/lots of goodies

[QUOTE=LAFENGAS]As an FYI to others wondering where this is coming from. I did the bumper conversion and Chris seems to downplay the work that went into it. Griped about a VERY reasonable price i gave him for the work, yet shelled out a retarded amount for somebody else to cut the these pieces of plastic mesh. QUOTE]

This is my last response with respect to this whole bumper thing. I’ll give you the last word if you choose to take it, because I really don’t care.

First, you didn’t “do” the bumper conversion. Rather, you did the following: simply snipped-out the center slats, filled the gaps left from cutting them out, prepped and painted the bumper, melted the center mesh onto the bumper. Give yourself credit for doing this work but please don’t come off as if you should get recognition for things like mixing paint, pulling off a bumper, putting a bumper back on, and alligning a bumper so that there is a minimal gap between the bumper and fender.

Second, If the mesh conversion is “child’s play” then why do so many people on AW and AZ ship their inserts to VooDooTec rather than do it themselves? The people who attempt this on their own never get a positive response from members of the forums. That’s why people have VooDooTec do it for them, so its done right. When I posted my pics on AW, people responded by staing things like, “that’s the best RS4 bumper conversion I’ve ever seen.”

Third, If my memory serves me correctly (which it does) I paid you guys $450 to do the work, and when you told me that that would be the price I never bitched about it at all. In fact I threw a couple extra bucks at ya (remember I left it on the floor by the back door leading into the kitchen???) Depending on which of you two are actually writing in this thread, you may not recall the extra money I left there because it was only intended for one of you…the one of you who got all dirty putting the bumper on). One of you wouldn’t take it (you know who you are) so I left it there for you…

yeah, I “griped,” whaterver you say. Please don’t insult my ability to readily pay a reasonable amount of money for a service by stating that I “griped”. You know I have the means, so trying to make me sound like a cheap-ass really isn’t what’s called for and I’m a bit surprised that you’re dropping down to the level of insulting my character. If I was actually a “griper” when it comes to paying for things for my car (the mods) then why is every part that I bought for it only quality/new parts? I could have bought used, crappy parts but instead I bought only the quality parts that I knew were right for what I was trying to accomplish for this car. This I can prove. Plus cheap-asses don’t leave extra money for someone who did work for you sitting on the floor of a foyer as I did.

Fourth, “yet (he) shelled out a retarded amount for somebody else to cut the these pieces of plastic mesh.” If you think that one of my closest and best friends (LI-S4) charged me a retarded fee to do the RS4 mesh conversion you’re way off. He didn’t want others thinking that he would give hand-outs as he did for me, which was unsolicited BTW. So what I paid him, and what he charges others for the actual job is two exclusive figures.

I’m really done discussing this as I promised myself that I wouldn’t spend more then one cup of coffee worth of time on it…and my cup is just about empty and I ain’t drinking the last few cold drops.

BTW: Thanks for hijacking my FS post; I’m sure people are now enamored more in our banter than what the actual post is about. Just trying to sell my car and you feel the need to get involved, I’m much obliged. Your response will be read but not responded to so be sure to take more shots at me, I can care less. The handful of people on here who actually know me know that I’m a stand-up guy so say what you will…I’m not concerned, but it did, in fact, take a second cup of coffee for me to get this written…damn!

Hope you have a prosperous '07…
Take care
