    Insight into higher prices for RS4 Grille

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I went to ECS tuning today to buy the blackout RS4 grille and noticed that it was $417 compared to the ~$260 it used to go for.

    Does anyone know why the price has gone up? Are these getting rare, or is it related to the Euro -> US dollar conversion?

    Last question... does anyone know where I can get one cheaper?

    Are you talking with or without the plate filler, that is a sizable difference right there!

    I just need the grille. I already have the satin black filler, as I have a Ti a4.

    It looks like I will be ordering the one from VAG Parts before the hike their price too. Thanks for the lookout to cstarky15!

    ECS has some good stuff, but I think some of their prices are marked up....
