Don't try to backtrack, no one mentioned putting S4 or RS4 badges on an A4. Would you complain the same way about an RS4 mesh grille on an S4?

Can Audi dealer install this on my S4? It does look very good. Can you move S4 front badge from stock grill to this grill?

I really like the look of this grill. My concern is that the removal of the foam across the bumper would change the integrity of the front end of the car in the event of an accident. The front would sustain more damage and the airbags could potentially go off much sooner than they are engineered to do.

For that reason alone, I would bet an Audi dealer wouldn't touch this with a 10' pole.

Can dealer install on my S4? How much do they charge? Can you move S4 badge from current car to new grill?

Thanks

There are a few diy installs for this grill. If you have a little experience with basic tools you should have no problem

Pic of it installed here:


Google massdrop, that's all I can say.
Has anyone put this on an S4? I know when I bought mine they realized that the s4 and a4 had different grills as I was trying to switch out the front license plate holder for a clean non license plate look.

Just want to confirm, I do like the grill but it says a4 and no mention of s4...

No one has put this on an S4 yet. At least no one on the forums that let anyone know.

I was not aware that the S4 and A4 grilles are not interchangeable.
IIRC the A4 gloss black grille from ECS fit fine on someones S4 here.

Awesome thank you sir. Do we have any pics of it on an S4? guessing not since it has not shipped yet but figured i would ask.

Any idea on how much a body shop would charge to put this on? 100 bucks? And i am guessing if the audi rings can go on it that you can use the S4 emblem instead of the RS4 one provided with the kit.

Would hate to be called a RS4 poser :-)
