Thinking of doing an ebay rs4 grill but none seem to include a USA front license plate mount or an S4 badge.

Any suggestions on both a S4 badge and plate mount that is easy enough to install and secure? Would hate to lose the plates.

For the plates there are plate mounts which go into the front tow hitch location, these are all over ebay, amazon, and different parts sites, or you could zip tie the plates onto the grill.

For the S4 badge, you can take the one off your current grill and put it onto the new grill, I think, with some glue or something. There are a few guides out there about how to do this, just look around on the internet.

Tow hook plate mounts are really ugly, in my opinion. A bunch of people have come up with creative solutions. One using toggle bolts, one magnets, for example. I bet you could find them if you search.

The o reilly plate holder looks decent from that link. Just to figure out something for the s4 badge.

Someone on here 3D prints a clip for the S4 badge...

I mounted the s4 badge from the factory grill using crazy glue. Worked perfectly. You can purchase a plate mounting bracket at any automotive shop.

I purchased the 3D printed clip and it didn't fit the RS4 version I bought (Not all are created equal), no fault of the designer its a great quality piece, I probably should have asked better questions. I ended up using hot gun glue to get the badge back on and its been solid ever since. Also living in jersey, I decided to run without a front plate as it looks so much cleaner (so far so good, fingers crossed).

Came across this while looking for a front plate alternative for our Porsche. Looks like it would also work with our RS grilles. Curious if anyone has tried this solution out?

I've used this on both my Porsche and father's S4. Mounted to lower edge of the bumper. https://skenebrackets.com/

They actually have a couple of pics up on their site and I have to say, it looks kinda great on an RS7, but no way in hell am I paying like $100 shipped for this thing:
