Default Okay AWer's I need your Help/Opinion on which grill and something else Please help!

<center><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1311212&a=9734914&p=44607858"></center><p>Okay this is my current setup in the front with the S4 Grill and the mesh in the front bumper that came with the projektzwo body kit. I love the look of the S4 Grill its my favorite (trust me Ive had almost every single different variation of grills on this car) but I dont like how the mesh doesnt fit with the clean lines of the S4 Grill. I have a picture of my car with an RS4 Grill and no mesh in it (NEXT POST), I was thinking of getting some expanded metal mesh that matches the RS4 Grill and putting it in my lower grills so that they match. Also I would change the brushed aluminum of the RS4 Grill to chrome because it matches better because my car is a 2.8 With that being said what do you guys think? Stick with what I have or go with the RS4 Grill and mesh? What do you think looks better?Let me know please! Thanx!

Default I'd go with the rs4 grill and matching mesh...

i think it looks cleaner to have matching mesh. I never did like the s4 grill much though.

Default Go with this setup because.............

The hex pattern has a more aggressive appearance. The S4 grille looks more sedate. If you do a hex pattern on your lower grilles, it'd work out awesome. There are two people who have done the Allroad lower grille mod, and it looks very nice matched with the RS4 grille.

RS4 grill looks much better IMHO. Beautiful car, BTW.

Default Personally I kinda like the S4 grill but you're right, the whole setup would look better if you..

had the RS4 grill. Where would you get the "expanded metal mesh" from?

Default I like the S4 grill waaay better. My main beef with the RS4 is the non-matching slats

inside the rings. It really ruins it. The s4 grill stays the same inside the rings... much better. If you can find expanded metal that matches the S4 grill, I think it would be tight. Your car looks great regardless, so don't stress to hard about it. What bumper is that?
