So here is where the "issue" comes in....I am at the light...I see your honeycomb grill facing me head on....I think cool...here comes an RS5....then as you come closer I get confused...like no its not an RS5 what is that...oh an S4 with an "RS" honeycomb grill.

As the observer....you feel "cheated"....you thought you were going to see a rare "RS"....but nope.
I see your point but anyone who knows an Audi well enough to recognize an RS4 grill should notice that this rare "RS" has 4 doors but isn't a wagon or a coupe. I don't think there will be a lot of room for confusion. Anyways was I couldn't care less if you feel "cheated" because I'm customized my car for me not an "observer".

Ok. But you realize that is the same exact view as the guy who slaps M badges all over his 328i? He says....I like it....I don't care what people think....you really want to be like that dude? Anything goes?

My point was not that you cannot customize your car...that you cannot "make it your own"...yes you certainly can.

My only point is that there are a few "sacred" things that we should respect...do not slap M badges all over your BMW if your BMW is not an M car....do not do a Honeycomb grill...if your Audi is not an RS....do not slap Turbo on your 911 if its not a 911 Turbo.

Be original...show your "unique" sense of style...just try not to be a poser...that is the anti theseis of unique...respect the hallmarks...respect the very rare cues that make the M and RS models "special". Don't rip them off in the name of needing to express your own uniques style and taste.

Looks awesome. This may be on my radar, I think it would look great on the Ibis White.

Curious how it looks with a front plate mounted on it though. Damn Texas requires it.

My mesh grille arrived from ECS Tuning. Putting it on next week. Can't wait to see how it looks with the Ibis White. I'll post a couple photos so you can see.

I think I live the black border better than the chrome.

Jason, the top image looks like has chrome, and the bottom looks like it has a black border. IS it just lighting?

The top is the chrome version and the bottom is the black version.
