Hey guys, I just picked up my 2012 silver S4 interior with magma red interior and so far I love it. I plan on doing the RS4 grille, and the APR stage II tune..... Suspension is in question as my M3 had coilovers and it sat perfectly and the way my S4 is sitting is peeving me out a bit. Anyways, my post is specifically about the RS4 grille. For starters is ECS the best place to get them from? Also, do most of you guys transfer the factory emblems from your old grille or do you run a risk of damaging it? I did not know how easily the logos popped off the factory grill. Also I do not see anywhere on the RS4 grille that you can glue the S4 badge on. Do you just glue it on at the ideal location or is there a preferred method for this? Thanks a ton guys!!

most people glue it.. The rings are a pita to take off, so many damn tabs but take your time and also do it in a warm environment so the plastic isn't brittle from the cold. The S4 badge is just one giant clip and shouldn't be too hard to get off.

I'm planning the same for my car but decided to hold off til after my suspension and tune.

From what I gather from the threads i've read, ECS seems to have good quality whereas Ebay items seem to have issues with quality control. Also, I plan on buying new Ring emblems since I've seen a few threads where the tabs were broken. Besides, down the road when its time to sell, you can sell the RS4 Grill with the emblems for quicker sale and sell your car back with the OEM grill with the Emblems fully intact.

Others may chime in but I know ECS Tuning has them.

I messaged you a link Power, but there is a really extensive thread on the grille with over 20 pages here:
