I met up with some of the guys from audizine today and I was the only one with a stock grill, needless to say I was a bit jealous. I'm trying to find a RS4 grill for a b8 S4, I have a couple of questions. 1) Is there a rs style grill with a US plate holder already installed? 2) I want the S4 emblem on the grill but none of the grills seem to come with it. Any help would be appreciated, I want one now!!!

I managed to get a S4 badge for the grille from eBay, just had a look and couldn't find any more.

I just ordered one off of aliexpress.com
I got the chrome outer frame with silver mesh.
I asked them to put the S4 badge on it instead of the RS4 badge and they did with out issue.
It also comes with the Audi rings and plate holder (I will be removing this).
Once I get it I'll you know how it turned out if you like.
Cheers

Being the only one with the stock one made you unique that day... Haha.. Me personally, I'm still on the fence about getting one..

So you feel inferior since you have the stock grille? You have my condolences. BUT I really don't like the stock B8, B8.5 or Rs4 grilles. I have taken the horizontal filler plate on both of my B8s and had them painted the body color. I took Black Out tape( Vinyl overlays also work) and covered the horizontal strips between the metal strips on my B8.5. IMHO, those simple mods improve the stock grille immensely. But if you suffer from RS4 grille envy, by all means get one.

CT. If it's not too much of a pain I'm going to try to get it, I want to avoid the extra attention but first I'll get the grill and figure it out from there.

With a white car I think the black grilles are sick.

please don't put on a front plate.. i've never had a front plate ever and i've never had a problem.. my car came with a front plate mount and i'm kinda pissed i have the holes in my gril now.. i put the black screws in so you can't really tell but u really don't need to run a front plate in CT.. just keep it in the car if you're worried

Ive been pulled over 3-4 times for not having a front plate usually just get a verbal warning i think they use the plate as an excuse to just break chops .
West haven is pretty bad plates exhaust tints .

I'm through there every now and then they don't bother me.. CT used to be a one plate state so most cops don't care .. U got an exhaust? I'm curious y they single u out
My buddy lives in west haven as well he doesn't run a front plate

do you have any good pictures of this? i've been thinking about doing the same to my car instead of an RS4 grill since i can't decide if I really like the way it looks or not.

With the 03 cobra exhaust would get me pulled over
the e55 amg have no idea.
The s4 has a front plate .
I tend to drive quick so sometimes i draw attention to my self.

I planned on getting the black optic grille up until this past weekend. Have you seen the rs grille in person? It really is the perfect look, in my opinion, clean yet aggressive.
