    Quick Question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have been thinking for a while about buying some rs4 wheels and some s4 grilles for my USP. Seems that a lot of people try to make their cars look like Rs4's and s4, so my question is does it piss you rs4 and s4 owners off that us a4 owners try to copy your semi rare cars?????

    I could care less. Putting other RS4 wheels and Rs4 grilles on an A4 isn't that big of a deal. It's all to make the car look nicer and doesn't look like you are trying to be an S or RS4.

    Putting the badges on is a total poser move.

    +1. Badges are weak sauce, and it's a shame when u see it happen.
    EDIT: probably also really embarrassing for the person when they DO run into someone with an S/RS

    I think by doing that you're trying to make your car something that it's not. The general public will mistake your car for the real deal and it gives the people with real S4/RS4 a bad name. When you put an A4 and an RS4 next together it's a huge differance but the general public so rarely see a S4/RS4 that they don't know the differance. If you want an S4 or RS4 than buy one.

    Rims, grilles, etc are fine, and recommended.

    Badges are not... Ricky I only think the general public will mistake it if they rebadge it, Joe Schmoe doesn't know the difference between RS4 rims and aftermarket rims, only most of the people on these boards do. Now if they read a phony RS4 badge, that is a different story.

    No big deal on the wheels or grill...go for it. I don't know why everyone is going on about the badges since the OP never mentioned them .
