beautiful. did you do the grill swap yourself? everytime i see a non NA bumper I have the urge to remove the amber reflectors or even swapping out the bumper entirely.

I tinted my orange reflectors and I think it looks great, especially since I have black optics so it makes it fit in

ive noticed quite of few people on this forum chose that route but i have white paint so even tinting it would not change how i perceive the reflector. im curious if i can just paint it with a paint pen that i got for the dealership.

Or, you could drop some dough on these: https://tagmotorsports.com/audi-b9-a...lector-package

I’m looking to either wrap mine or order these (they have them for 2019 A4’s as well).

Yup that’s what I was thinking, it dropped from it’s original $170 price too. From the pictures it looks like its raised slightly higher than the rest of the bumper though. It’s talked about a bunch of times but I don’t think anyone actually had them installed on here.

See what you mean about being slightly raised. Don’t think it bothers me as long as the paint and clear-coat are a 100% match.

I’ve got brilliant black and the pics I’ve seen of these on folks cars with black on reddit, they blend in completely.

Ok, dumb question - are these solid pieces that do or do not allow light to pass through? In other words, are these actually functional?

They're replacements for the reflectors -- there is no light that shines through them to begin with.

Did you also add the lower door splitters? Mind if I ask how you went about that? I've seen the replacement instructions before, but the S-Line comes with clips for it to attach to.
