Hi All,

To simply this process, I have created a Google Sheet.... Just fill it out and I'll get it going

Click Here

As of now, it's $290. Shipping is TBD. I'm trying to get better deal if we get more people, so I'm extending this to Audizine as well.

Same here. Process was painless. They provided a tracking number and it was shipped promptly. Fitment was flawless. DO NOT ORDER THESE FROM AMERICAN VENDORS it is the same product from JC Sportline just marked up outrageously.

I would be down for a group buy. I believe we needed 10 people at the minimum. Can we get 7 more??

Hey guys. Great idea about the group buy. I just added myself to the google doc list. For what it's worth, Amanda told me it would be $431 shipped to New York. ($330 + $85 shipping + 4% paypal fee). But I like the $290 price better!

added myself to the google doc as i would love to get this grill. one caveat is, i would need the US license plate frame (like the one shown in the pic in post #1). i currently have the front plate delete and have been having a bitch of a time with getting tickets here in SF. any chance they can include a US plate mounting kit?

Default licence plate options

Here's an idea for the front licence plate placement. http://gominigo.com/Audi.html
Not cheap but out of mind out of site, and keeps the air flow open.

Enjoy,

i considered that, but would rather have it on the front grill. the bracket looks too obtrusive, and to make it work, you gotta yank the grill next to the right fog light off. besides, the blockage of the radiator by the front plate is minimal, imho.

i even bought both the manual and motorized versions of the no show plate, but it's impossible to install on the Q5. one guy did it, but you have to saw off some fins and install it on an angle. i wouldn't recommend that anyone try it unless you had access to custom fabricated parts.

When I asked them about the US plate, they said they would offer it with that one rather than the Euro plate bracket so we should be okay.
