    DIY USP front end finished

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Took about 6 hours from start to finish and to dremel everything just right so I wouldn't lose rigidity. I managed to also use all the USP OEM grills. S4 rear arrived today along with blades and everything will go in for lower painting next week.

    Looks great! Can't wait to do this myself. More motivation.

    I need to wait till I'm ready to paint my lowers thou... but the unpainted USP grille looks pretty close so I guess I could live with it for a while if necessary.

    The USP lower is a lighter gray than the rest of the lowers, but like I said everything will be painted next week, so who cares.

    Thanks, I spent 10 min trying to figure it out, but nothing worked. What's the trick? Looking at your HTML, it looks like what I did.

    DIY came out great, looks sweet.

    I think I tried three of the four links they provided. Guess I gave up on the last one.

    Actually the car never came with a holder, and Audi wanted something crazy like $125, I went to Toyota and they gave me one off a demo car, for $50. Thanks!

    It's mine. It's not an R, it's a S60 2.5T AWD and with a chip and exhaust, it's about about 30hp less than a stock R. It has a OEM body kit. It's crying for 19" rims,lol.
