grille suggestions

[pmi_man]

after a run in with a squrrel, i had to make up this temporary grille. (hit that little critter at like 60 and he cracked the rings and like 2 of the bars). so what grille would you recommend me getting? i was thinking a s4, where is the best place to get one?
pics to help you judge:

lol those damn squirrells. I really think they actually try to get hit, like they think its a game. See who can run in the street and make a car crash, if you die you lose.

I've always been partial to Weber and Charbroil grills myself.

Haha, that is great, check out Caractere they have a really nice grille but very pricey.

But in all seriousness, S4 FTW. There is also ABT and Caractere but I'm not a huge fan of the bar style grills.

caractere, abt, or oettinger

other than lltek where can i get these?

Here's couple deals. There was another grille design I liked, but I can't find it, but you can find almost any grille you like on Ebay for under $100.
Abt's grille is like $200+ , here it is on Ebay....

well i like the abt grill, but is it actually an authentic one/worth buying? and where can i get the logo (not the rings) that goes on the grill?

[JerseyShoreA4]

check the classifieds for the s4 grille. there may be one on there now. if not, they pop up from time to time and not too expensive. there's also a caractere grille on there now as well.

Check the classifieds for an s4 grille, if there are none just pick one up from ECS

[pmi_man]

so you all are recommending the s4 over the abt and others?

[italian a4 1032]

i think the caractere abt and oettinger are nicer then the s4

I don't think it's authentic, but it's just a grille so, I doubt there is a big difference in quality. With ABT's name on they can slap an extra $100 on the price (we know how that goes). I'm sure if you contact the seller they can give you info on getting the ABT logo or they might even have them.

As far as an S4 grille, I'd pass, not enough of a change for people to notice. Hell, I had to study a pic of a A4 & S4 grille for a while before I notice the difference. The vertical slats are more pronounced on the S4 grille.

and it's more of a grey color

^^someone is selling their caractere for cheap in the classifieds!

[evola4]

s4 from ECS ftw! I have had that for over a year now

Was it a really tall squirrel? Or did it jump when you hit it? LOL

Classifieds here have a lot of nice stuff... LLTek has the floating bars and rings that looks sweet.

Good luck... I picture those squirrels from Geico or some insurance company standing up on their hind legs trying to intimidate you...

[pmi_man]

lol, he was up on the curb, ears poked up, and looking at me. i look down at my speedometer and im goin about 60, and im like "DON'T DO IT!!!!" then BONZAI! jumped right out at it, heard him hit then fly over my windshield, looked in the rearview and he was dunzoed
