I love the look of the RS5, but frankly I hate it when people emulate everything to be a higher model than what their car actually is. I installed an OEM RS5 grill on my S5 and put the S5 badge on the grill. Just because I like the look better. Some people buy whole front grill, bumpers, rear bumpers, mirrors, etc. of the upgraded model. For instance on the A8 forums some members take a base model A8 and put S8 badges, front and rear bumpers, etc all over it. Disgrace! Enjoy your car for what it is, don't make it look like something it's not. For when it comes to a race and you get blown away, because your car really isn't the RS5 or V10 S8 you made your car look like, you deserve to lose my friend.

Sometimes its not about speed and performance but also stance and appearance to make your Audi different.

Rims and bagging are not for everyone, but few can deny that they can even make a Lexus or G37 look special.

Here are some Audi, Infiniti, Lexus that look terrific and won't be seen at every other stop light!

One day somebody has to explain to me what the appeal is of folding the wheels into the body like that.

No explanation forthcoming. You either like it or you don't. Some owners would prefer to customize their Audi. After all, lots of whining about how Audi's all look the same. An A4 similar to an A6, an A3 similar to a shrunken A8.
An A5 similar to an S5 and RS5. I would guess that 70%+ of people on the road know very little about the differences in the coupes.

Owners that want to customize and individualize the stance and appearance of their Audi's instead of leaving it bone stock are few. But those that do, take a lot of pride in their car's stance and appearance.

That pre-facelift black, bagged Audi S5 featured on Vossen rims commands respect. As well as this white S5.

And those others, G-sedan, G37, IS350 and even the Accord, would get a second glance from me as well as others over a stock RS5 costing twice as much.

thanks for the input guys! I'm not looking into getting engine mods bc thats just a waste of money when i don't have the upgraded engine of the rs5. but i was simply looking at grilles, rims things like that, that make it look better.

I couldnt agree with you more. For me, Stance is everything, And you have nailed it with the Bags and Vossen Wheels. Im a little torn between the 5,7 and 9 spoke vossens concaves.

I really couldnt care about engine mods or the tune of the exhaust. I love listening to music top down, so I dont want to hear a noisy exhaust. In fact the quieter the car the better.

Nice site by the way.

I wanna take the license plate off my front grille (license plate delete). Apparently the cheapest way to go about it is get a rs5 grille online. thoughts?

Has anyone done this? is it fairly easy to do?

lmariorod

It's pretty involved. I think removing of bumper.

I went this route. Looks awkward, but leaves the grille clean and open without the hassle of worrying about traffic ticket agents or police.
