The eBay seller is located in China.

I believe he was wondering about your location since shipping to the U.S. is expensive =)

If you contact the seller directly through Alibaba, the prices are a little better. They quoted me 300 for the grille and 150 for shipping.

It seems we should be able to push the Alibaba seller more. You know this grill costs less than $30 to make, shipping is probably the right amount.

I contacted the ebay seller to inquire about a version with a camera mount and they replied saying they don't have a grill with the bracket but that they will send me an extra bracket if I have a camera. I guess they want you to just use this bracket and have the lens seeing out of one of the regular honeycomb openings. I am not sure I want to do that unless this bracket of theirs can really hold it steady and in place.
EDIT: Looking at the first pic posted by the OP, it doesn't seem like there is enough space just below the rings to have a camera looking out of there.

So I took a careful look and the grid pattern under the rings on this grill looks exactly the same as the real RS5 factory grill. The first little horizontal bar under the center of the rings would be taken out on the Chinese one.

So the space is there for the camera. Now, would the Audi RS5 camera mount fit??

I am looking at buying this grille as well. Since I have never modified my car before, I am wondering who I can go to for installation. What do I search? Thx!

First you can go to your regional location forum and search there or ask. Try googling German or Audi modifications, tuning, Motorsports and call and ask. If they dotdo, ask if thytkmiw anyone.

Wanted to bring this topic back up. Would anyone be interested in doing a group buy from china to pull that shipping cost down?

Those that have already done this, can you help pave the way for the rest of us? What do we need the maker to fix with the camera mount? What about the sensors?
