Christmas gift '10 S4 DSB
Just wanted to share.....Ordered the car on September 15th and finally arrived on December 14th....the order was for a DSB (Deep SeaBlue), grey/black interior, Prestige package, carbon fiber inlays, Audi Drive select.
Upon receipt I ordered a new black grille from AE Performance with black license plate holder, changed the headlights to D3S (6000K)and the fogs were replaced with Hoen Xenonmatch 55W.
Have driven about 600 miles on it so far...will post more about the car and the driving soon.....some mods left to do (like an exhaust) but waiting for the right one......

Congrats.
I really love that black grill. Strongly thinking about getting one after I get my Meteor Gray S4 next week
.
How much did it cost - was the install hard?

Black grille
The grille is like $ 1k (I know some will scream but I wasn't going to ruin a grille trying it out myself) as I wanted to keep the original for the day I decide to sell. You do have to take quite a bit out (headlights have to come out) to install, but had my dealership do it, so it was pain free.....next in my quest to get rid of the plastic bits have to do something about the front spoiler lip and rear diffuser......more to follow around march......

It's all a question of perspective.....the extra grille is by itself about $ 450, so the work for the paint job is about $ 500. You can opt to send in yours and save yourself the cost of the grille......I thought that for a different look, it was worth the money...in the end its like wheels some may say that $ 4000 for a set of wheels is normal while others might think its crazy when you can get a nice looking set for like $ 1200....
Can't wait to share my next upgrades....happy Sunday

Car looks great. How well do the fogs match the 6000K HIDs? I actually just ordered the AE black grill this week for my Phantom Black S4. I also just ordered 6000K HIDs and am looking for fog lights to match the color.
