Did a little work on the grills today....dremeled off all the stock S4 inserts...

preparing for the RS4 mesh.

Also Saturday w/ help from a friend, was able to bend my hood back & now can open my hood.

I gotta figure how I'm gonna mate the existing foglight surround (plastic), to the new RS4 mesh.

the center grill behind the bumper? I used a grind wheel, and my friend drilled out the tabs

that held the stock grill in place. It just popped out after that. Took about 10mins.

wow I'm surprised removing your bumper isn't 2nd nature to you by now.

I can pull that thing off in less than 5mins.

2 bolts, and side clips.

I think i've removed mine at least 30xs.
