Yeah, those pics were from 2006, my GT was kind of a cosmetic rescue job.

Lots of elbow grease later- are these better?

The best way to stop all the chatter on the Fix/Part discussion is to list a price you would sell the whole car for as is. If your end goal is a good S4 engine, I bet someone would be happy to make that a part of a transaction.
