Default Does anyone sell grills for a modded S4 bumper?

I'm looking to mod my S4 bumper to look like an RS4 bumper - does anyone sell grills that fit a modded bumper?

Default Yea, if u wanna pay $70 per grill insert, so $210 plus shipping.......more inside

but like I have told everyone else, mcmaster.com, they have identical ALUMINUM (so its very easy to cut and try) mesh cloth that matches the rs4 grille perfectly, this is the route i went, email me if u want more details......if not, have fun paying avalon or someone 210 for the OEM grill inserts

Default true McMaster is a good source, but their website is hard to navigate. i just got my mesh from them

I will take a picture of the McMaster mesh and compare it to the RS4 hood grill I have. then we can see how close it really is.

by the way, i found a source that sells the grill for $50 a piece.

Default I used to make these for B5 folks...

haven't made them in a while, but still can..

With and without the fog surrounds... OE RS4 mesh only, looks perfect and lasts forever..

Default I haven't seen anything that looks as good as the OEM RS4 mesh ... yeah it's a bit expensive ...

... but you own an S4, what's $200 bucks?!

And it's the best looking mod you can do IMO .. well besides nice wheels I suppose ...

Default Sure thing! I take beer and S4 parts as payment ... if I did it again, I'd do a better job ...

made a few mistakes along the way for sure. But if you keep working at it, you can get it to come out good ...

Default Home depot has the exact same mesh.. Everyone flips over it being steel.. but your not building a

race car for crying out loud. 1 or 2 lbs isnt a big deal.

Its $35 and its plent to do all three parts
