Default Everyone is getting a RS4 grill... Isn't that a little ricy???

Everyone always talks about S4 badge on a A4 being rice and tacky and now everyone even S4's are getting RS4 grills.. Whats up with that?

I know, I know... Probably not putting the RS4 badge on there, but still everyone know its from a RS4 grill...

Are we all hypocrites!

Default No...my definition of ricey is cheap and tacky.

The RS4 grill is neither. It looks great and fits beautifully...that's why everyone's buying it.

Ricey is BIG ALUMINUM WING!

Default It just looks good and I put my own badge back on...

I'm not trying to be an RS4

It just looks better than any of the other aftermarket grilles available that's all.

Default just b/c something is cheap in price doesn't mean its rice.

tacky though, yes, totally agree. that's the actual rice part, not cheap.

if you can make your own custom grill for 10 bucks, and that it comes out better than the RS4 grill, i'll bet that you'd rather get that one.

Default We all know we don't have a Porsche , so why put Porsche brakes on?

Sure the increase in brake performance but you wouldn't want the logo or the red calipers as they scream Porsche. Rice (Rice Rocket, Rice Burner) is a term that came from the M/C scene. It came from slow american pig iron bike owners who paid a lot more for the M/Cs they had then the Jap. bike owners and yet the Jap. bikes would blow by them all day long, run with little to no maintance and cost a whole lot less. I have and will always have a RiceRocket and take it as a compliment when I hear the word RICE. I didn't buy my car because it was an AUDI or it was German, I bought it because it looked like I wanted it to had what I wanted and promised to deliver the day to day performance I desired. I wouldn't have cared if it said Honda,Subaru, or Hyundai as long as it had what I wanted.As a matter of fact I wish it was made by HONDA , I know the customer service would be a whole lot better. We all need to lighten up a bit. We own the Bastard child of the German Auto industry. Was not to many years ago that they almost couldn't give an Audi away. I know those were some bogus times but you can thank those times for your warranty.
