completely badgeless, just rings, or reapply all badges?
 
for the trunk, after i installed the 'euro' trunk i never put the badges back... i have the oem badges sitting in my tool box, but idk if i should put them back on? any thoughts or opinions?

*currently it has nothing on the trunk. outside of the plate.

vegasS4 05-22-2007 05:29 PM

all stock badges imo...i can see leaving it off an RS4 grill but i think i still like it with....
 
the badge on front better than without but i go back and forth on that one

S4rcasm 05-22-2007 05:29 PM

At $120 for a set for my A4 2.8Q - I'd say go with just the rings.
 
And not the $hitty stuff on eBay from HK!

S4NIC8 05-22-2007 05:29 PM

just rings

S4rcasm 05-22-2007 05:30 PM

TJ: Who did your widebody for you please? Any recommendations?
 
Rojo wanted $11k for my Avant!

Aman_UnatrlyAspiratd 05-22-2007 05:33 PM

parts included?

b-thumper 05-22-2007 05:36 PM

LOL, I doubt it

Aman_UnatrlyAspiratd 05-22-2007 05:36 PM

Any cool pics of your car Jules?
 
are you selling?

Aman

S4rcasm 05-22-2007 05:44 PM

Definitely not! That's another $6,800!

iconoclast 05-22-2007 05:51 PM

my friends shop.
 
i can i put you in contact with them.

rojo quoted me 9.5k (sedan which is more work)

iconoclast 05-22-2007 05:52 PM

no real photos yet...
 
i was supposed to go for a shoot the other day but weather spoiled that... and my buddy is a profressional photographer he wanted to shoot it a few times, but his schedule just got real hectic... hopefully soon, ill have something worth posting...

as for the 'for sale' business... the car is always for sale, if the right buyer comes along ill gladly part with the car...

iconoclast 05-22-2007 05:54 PM

this is what i am leaning towards...
 
however; once a badge is removed it never never looks the same when you put it back... at least to me... something is always off... are there any templates or specs i could follow?

S4rcasm 05-22-2007 05:54 PM

Mine had a disagreement with a solid object!
 
Hence the additional $$$.

I'll email you later!

Thx!

iconoclast 05-22-2007 07:15 PM

lol

iconoclast 05-22-2007 07:19 PM

lol; tell me about it... when i went to buy the badges i was expecting something like...
 
9-10 a piece... the one ring badge was 38.00 list... lol. crock o' sh!t. so i wound up buying them, not knowing if i was going to rebadge or not, and here i am now.

S4NIC8 05-22-2007 07:24 PM

I suggest you hook up with someone else with an S4 and get all the measurements you need

Arcteryx::Stock Rods 05-22-2007 07:25 PM

on the back i have the rings and just an "S" and no "4"...looks clean to me.

iconoclast 05-22-2007 07:28 PM

good call...
 
but i have no friends...

Ochlockonee 05-22-2007 07:31 PM

Badgeless.
 
I'm so anti bling that I like the fact that some people mistake my car for a Honda sometimes. I bought it debadged and it seemed like the path of least resistance to leave it that way. It's also a lot easier to clean and wax too.

S4NIC8 05-22-2007 07:33 PM

good thing you're not here in Taiwan, or to fit in you'd be obligated to also add
 
3 different kinds of Audi Sport badges
plus...
GTR badge
VTEC badge
TRD stickers
///M Badge

all the "hot" cars here, regardless of make/model, have those at a minimum

S4NIC8 05-22-2007 07:34 PM

yeah, probably no one here on AW willing to help :P

b-thumper 05-22-2007 07:43 PM

That's exactly why I debadged my M3
 
It's great.

Easier to clean, easier to wax, and the look on people's face when you blow by them and they don't know what flew past them.

I'll debadge my S4 with a widebody

Aman_UnatrlyAspiratd 05-22-2007 07:55 PM

got it....
 
btw, what's the colour of the dark grey S4 in your pic poster? Looks like Achat Grey....

Aman

KatanaPrana 05-22-2007 08:30 PM

rings in black like the front...
 
btw, thanks for the email. I sent everything to him and hopefully he will know something soon...
=^)

iconoclast 05-22-2007 08:36 PM

wow... that is a good idea...
 
i didnt think of that... im going to look into this.

iconoclast 05-22-2007 08:36 PM

lol

iconoclast 05-22-2007 08:40 PM

KatanaPrana 05-22-2007 08:52 PM

yeah... after seeing that rear-end picture you sent me. I think that would tie everything...
 
together nicely.

IOKEPA 05-22-2007 08:52 PM

show some pride with your badges, just like this A4

KatanaPrana 05-22-2007 08:54 PM

lmao

iconoclast 05-22-2007 08:55 PM

lmao...
 
of course its a b6'er... rad~!

iconoclast 05-22-2007 08:56 PM

i have spare badges...
 
im going to play around with a few options...


initially i thought of taking stock chrome housings and making them black chrome like the window trim... then taking the face of my wheel and doing the same... along with the trim on the grille... i never thought of doing that to the rings until you mentioned it...

ckymike 05-22-2007 08:57 PM

i just got the euro trunk too
 
my car is originally badgeless, this one came with 2.8 badges...I think im gonna leave them all on

iconoclast 05-22-2007 09:01 PM

i did this last year before h20...
 
just never got around to installing the badges...

it was my favourite mod coupled with the euro rear bumper...

but now, idk... i kind of regret it.

Andrew C. 05-22-2007 09:01 PM

rings only.

Bimmer Needs Reverse 05-22-2007 09:02 PM
