I recently picked up this 2014 S4 in Ice Silver with the Black Optic Package (see photos below)

I'm going to upgrade the exterior in two ways:

1. Add Caractere rear valence (photo below)

2. Change Grill to either Caractere "Glossy Black" or "Matte Silver" (comparison photo below)

Would you go with the black or silver?

Black grill on Black Optic Package is a natural choice, but take a look at this white S4 with the matte silver grill photographed below...

I would do the matte black grill!! The silver grill on the white S4 looks awesome, but I am guessing it does not have the black optics package!

If the trim around the black grille is glossy, then I would go with that. It'll remain true to the black optic package, as the trim around the OEM BO grille is also glossy. It'll tie in the glossy trim around the windows as well.

Good advice. Chrome mirrors and the silver grill go nicely together, but Black Optics and the glossy black grill will be a perfect combination, staying true to the overall package like you said.

I'll move forward with these two subtle upgrades to give it a bit more differentiation from an A4 with the S-line package / rotor design wheels.

Thanks!
