    Re: which looks better??

    I'm still saying black on rings (will look better when photoshop's silver perimeter on rings is gone, too). Skip the lower grille mod. And try black trunk rings, too.

    x4 for neither. IMO it just looks cheap.

    If you had to keep everything else silver, I'd paint the rings black and all the junk inside the rings black too.

    They made it that way for a reason!

    If I do anything, I'll paint the chrome trim around the upper and lower grilles black.

    Painting those black looked great on my A4. Would look alot better than the ebay-look you have going.

    Haha suspended again? Funny!

    You're taking this way too personal. YOU asked for opinions and for people to "criticize," so you got it.

    I wouldn't say bone stock

    Now you’re starting to get it. Everyone has their own opinion on what looks good. Don’t ask what looks better if you don't like criticism. The RS6 mesh grill with the chrome rings in my opinion looks the best.
    Painting the grill to match the car looks cheap and tacky (in my opinion). It’s going to chip in 1 day of driving and start peeling. It blends in too much.
    You can also go with the lltek c6 conversion.
    If you want to change your grill, and make it look good it’s going to cost $$$. There is no cheap alternative.


    or

    Hope this helps!

    Re: which looks better??

    You seem to have issues with your car. You have to ask the opinion of everyone for anything you are thinking of doing. You should just do what you think looks good. That being said, don't get offended when people don't like what you have. This is a public forum. I don't have any pics of my car posted because honestly, I just don't care what others think.

    I'm going to shut up cause I got slapped on the wrist in one of your other "what should I do" threads for speaking up harshly.

    So we clearly have 2 camps.

    As professor of mine once noted, "There are 2 kinds of people in the world: Those that divide the world into 2 types and those that don't." (T. Lowi)

    I like last black photo; AND silver is ok, too, but if going that path, simply needs black rings. And put 'em on trunk, too (along with debadging).

    YOu are lucky as you have a 4.2 and can fit an RS6 grille... get one. It is the best and cleanest looking one.
    I had added the Audi chrome inserts to my OEM grille, it looked OK but i got tired of it.
