Thanks Kent, but I'm unsure what you are referring to. If your talking about the sliver crash bar shown in pic 2, it was painted with a flat black paint before the new grille was attached.

I have not seen anyone with the silver or chrome mesh as you would see on an actual rs4. I'm sure you can find them for $800-$1000 at oem price but I wasn't willing to spend that for a grille. The build quality of this grille is good, but the only problem as most have posted are the emblem re-install.

Default RS4 grill

I wonder how it would look with a license plate mounted where the stock one is?

WOW! That will be some crazy James Bond type stuff right there!

I feel your pain. Laws in my province require a front plate as well. Hideous!

Default Call Me Crazy

I am a purist...when I drove a BMW I would diss all those guys driving 325, 328, 330, and 335is but modifying them to look like M3's.

This just smacks of that....an RS4 grill on an S4 is like flared fenders on a 328i or an "M" badge on a 335i...its just wrong.

Sorry...if you want an RS4 grill buy an RS4

I somewhat agree, but they don't offer it.....

I see where your coming from but in no way do I want a wagon, sport wagon, crossover, or whatever you want to call it. Plus it not being available kind of hinders it too. Plus, its not like I put the rs4 badge on my car. That would be a different story.

Default Looks Great!

How are you planning to mount the license plate? Can I see a pic with the license plate mounted?
