Default Blackout Grille A4/S4

Does anyone know for sure if the s-line grille pictured below (for the B8 S4) is interchangeable with the B8 A4 model? I would like to swap to a the blackout grill this guy put on his S4 and I'm hoping my body kit will allow it. Furthermore, if anyone knows where exactly one might buy this exact S4 grille please post the info. I would greatly appreciate it, and I think others will find its a great looking modification.

Wes

1. There is no S-line grille. The grille in A4 S-line models is exactly the same as it is in standard A4, but with "S-line" badge on it. It might be possible that there is not even S-line badge on the S-line grille.
2. The grille on the picture above is S4-grille, not S-line grille. This grille is standard in S4-models.
3. S4 grille is interchangeable with standard A4 B8 grille
4. If you replace your standard A4 grille with S4-grille, be sure to replace the S4-badge with some other badge...

That black grille is sold by AE Performance. I think they call it the black optic grille and can be ordered with the regular A4 or S4 grille as the base.

They have a core exchange program where you send back your stock grille after installing the new one, or you can just buy theirs and keep yours but it costs more. You'll have to get in touch with AE regarding the specifics though.

Can you do this on a leased vehicle? Also, could you post AE's contact info, or at least their site?

So for a B8 A4, if you want full black out trim, you need to buy a premium model and then have the grill done. Otherwise (this is my question), is there any way to get black window trim (stock) on a Premium Plus or Prestige???

About to attempt to black out my non-SLine P+ grille myself with some gloss black vinyl tape for the frame and Pasti Dip for the middle section of the grille.

Do you still have this grill? If you do what do you want for it?
