Moving across the country presents an opportunity to reconsider what belongs in your home and what no longer serves a practical purpose.

The Audi RS7 C8 already has one of the most distinctive front ends in the performance Sportback segment. Its wide Single frame grille, sculpted bumper, and aggressive lower air openings give the car a powerful road presence. Yet some aftermarket carbon fiber front lips introduce another striking feature: a floating blade positioned beneath the factory bumper.
