hey tony, im sure you can order them from audi. But i have a prestige model a7 that came stock with the honeycomb grill where the fog lights would be. I think they run about 150 to 200 bucks. had to replace mine after a coyote ran out of the bushes

No issues on my end with the parking sensors. The grill I ordered had pre-cut slots for them. I picked it up off eBay for a few hundred. I bought my grill just a few weeks ago. I'll see if I can't find the link

aftermarket grill info
the aftermarket grill from eBay usually send you the ring attached to the grill and they do have holes with plastic clips to hold the sensors. I've also received RS7 emblem for the grill and RS7 letters for the rear emblem of the car.
i've had the RS7 emblem on my grill for about 5 months, ppl who doesn't know the Audi brand or have hard time differentiating A7 vs RS7 or S7 alike, couldn't tell if i had RS7 or A7 lol. since I've debadged my rear a7 logo.

i tried to follow this writeup, which left out alot of details. There are 2 holes on the top of the grill and 2 on the bottom that also need to be taken out. You can see this when you look at the mounting holes on the aftermarket grill.
Also, I'm not sure if its specific to the grill I bought but I have 3 mounting holes behind the Audi rings. They dont match up to anything... so I can even use them to to tighten down the middle.

Yeah, my 2012 A7 Prestige also had two mounting screws in the center, behind the rings, and two along the bottom edge, for a total of 14 screws that needed to be removed.
My aftermarket grill didn't line up with the mounting holes for the screws behind the rings either.

so i have one of these grills, and removed the bumper cover to put it on. when i did so i painted the crash bar black. is that what you guys are doing? I can already see chips and it pisses me off. certainly don't want to remove the cover again to paint due to the realignment of the acc.
