Thanks Mr. Ed. There were arms that worked with the trailing arm option, right? Any idea of the other piece, I'm stumped?

I think you're right. But that was not the variation I was talking about. The second part: I have no idea, sorry.
Mrlexan had some threads with different hot-trick cars, maybe you could try to find them on the forum. Or maybe Lohas could tell you.

Hey All,

I am talking to a guy on CL about this car but I don't know what it is other than the HPI branding. I have never owned an on-road car and don't know much about them yet. Is this a decent car as far as tunability and upgrades or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry about the cell phone pic but this is all he sent me.

To answer your other questions, I don't own one of those RS4's, but I've seen lots of purple aluminum hop-up parts for them. HPI is probably the leading manufacturer of on-road car bodies, so they're a brand you can trust when it comes to quality and parts availability & upgrades.

Did someone make an aftermarket nose plate? This shape is all wrong, but it's intriguing

I don't see it....other than the two extra holes what's different?

Hot Trick, BME, Composite Craft, Fiberlyte, & Kranzel all made aftermarket kick-ups. Those are all easily identified by looks though.
