By the way, I bought mine a few days before it was posted here from another eBay seller.
The seller I bought mine from has the grille in the black finish above, and another all silver finish with a black Quattro badge at the bottom.
The silver version would be nice on white or silver B9s.

To me, someone stating that installing this aftermarket grille is an attempt to imitate the RS5 model is also like saying a white person who gets artificially tan is trying to look Hispanic or Black.

It's all about aesthetics. No posing is going on and I'll pull that RS5 imitation badge on it off immediately.
It's funny that people say that a mod is an imitation of an RS car. I think some people just really like the stock car and the way it looks and that is totally fine. Personally, I find the RS Style grill a cool look compared to the stock silver one. Like you, I would take off the RS5 badge immediately as well. Looking forward to seeing how it looks like on your car. That's going to be one of my next mods. Just need to figure out whether I want to go with Silver or Black...

Would you be able to PM me where you got your grill from?

I also will be installing the Audi OEM Black optic lower left and right bumper grilles, along with the lower center grille. Hopefully they match the main RS style grille because they are like a gloss dark grey color, not all black.

Here's those links Freesole.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks after install. I am having a hard time justifying the current cost of the black optics parts from TAG and Europrice... plus I like the honeycomb look.

Question - It looks like the rings aren't included. Can the rings badge be transplanted form the original grille to this one?

On Europrice - https://europrice.us/grille--a5-s-line-black-opticc - it looks like there are some options to be considered when swapping the front grille; front parking sensors, US plate holder and front camera trim.

Not sure if these are items the Chinese version addresses.. but might be worth considering depending on your vehicle's options.

The Chinese version has all of the sensor/camera mounts (I saw a different listing that specifically mentioned the camera mount and said to specify if you want it or not).

For me, I plan to get the STO n SHOW license plate mount (or something similar) which eliminated the need for a grille mounted plate.

It has all of those provisions.
It also does come with the chrome Audi rings emblem, or one can take off the factory one and plug it right to the new one.
