Default First Pic Attempt: Pre-Eibach pics/DIY grill

I'm getting my Eibachs installed this week with S4 struts, so I'm posting a pic or two of my car pre-Eibach. Once the suspension is in, I need to get both bumpers repainted, and I need 17's.

Yes, the Audi rings are crooked in the pic. Fixed now.

Yes, I did make the grill by hand using the gutter-guard mesh.

Gutter guard mesh! Much too DIY IMHO.

Default Yeah, probably right...

but I'm not in love with the S4, RS4, or Kamei grills, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Default You should think about the RS4 upper & lower grill combo...

Check it out.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1571515.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1571515.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default That does look better...

but hard to tell from your pics, they're pretty dark. Got any brighter pics?

How do you like the Eibachs? What struts do you have with them?

Default That is the plan...

I just have to decide how to do the lowers. Andy's RS4 stuff looks good, especiall for the lowers, but like I said, I'm not in love with the RS4 grill.

Default Thanks. The pics are kind of dark...

I had to turn my brightness up the whole way on my monitor to look at them. I will try to take some more tonight.

I like the springs. I am currently running the stock shocks. The setup works well &amp; I like it, but plan to get new shocks fairly soon. I here the sports will only last a year or 2 on lower springs. I am not sure what I will go w/ yet.

Default how did you attatch the mesh to the outer area of the grill?

and how did you attatch the rings to the grill? i think it looks pretty cool, definitely something unique.
