S5/A5 TraxNYC Body Kit
There's a bizarre eBay auction that gets you a bunch of diamonds for half a million dollars, and they throw in an S5 with a custom "one off" body kit:
Auction
Just wondering if anyone has seen this and/or has it, and what thoughts are on it. Looks pretty interesting to me.

I started a thread a week ago asking if anyone knew if this was available yet, but received no replies. I am undecided about the rear mods, but I do like the front mods.
I have been thinking that this bumper with a Lusch honeycomb grill (not the tricked out Lusch grill with the bars) would be a great combo.

I can't find pricing or availability listed anywhere.

Yes, the intent is to replicate an R8 or TT.
I just emailed them for pricing and dealer locations.
I like the front. I will pass on the back.
My plans are to get the valence around the rear diffuser coverd in Carbon Fiber. Someone gave me the name of a place on Cape Cod who can do that work.
This is the Lusch grill I am also considering.

I liked the look of that Lusch grill as well, but having to display a front plate here in California would totally kill the look. Probably stuck with the factory grill/plate holder. Boo.

I had a European style plate made with my actual CT license plate number. It reads CT XXXXXX. So far I have gone my plenty of police in a variety of places and no hassles.
I do like the look of a European plate. I prefer it to no plate at all.

Thanks for the extra info. Cool idea with the euro-style plate. Did it fit the US-spec plate holder that came on the car? You keep US-spec plate on the rear?
I hadn't checked Lusch's pricing before either. $1500 just for a grille seems really pricey. Still over $1K for a non-carbon fiber version. Do you have to transfer the rings over from your original grille to get the look in the pic you posted?

I kept the US plate on the rear. I wanted to have something that was legal. I am sort of testing the law on dual plates. I figure my European style plate which bears my actual license plate number, is better than no plate at all on the front.
Yes, the grill seems expensive. You have to transfer your rings, and they supply the black raised base that the rings sit on.
