    Agreed. Looks much better than the Caractere grill too. OP, welcome and nice ride!
    You can find plastidip at Home Depot in with the spray paint.

    Congratulations buddy you bought an awesome car.

    Save up a bit, get some e-codes and sell your stock headlights to get some money back. Skip the caractere grill, black paint or plasti-dip sounds good, as long as you keep the Audi emblem chrome.

    BTW: is it a quattro?

    nice car. good luck with it.

    I wish my a4 was my first car. I had an accord for almost two years and it was a piece of shit lol
    sadly they made the usp in fwd. Ecodes are not cheap, but they may be worth it. i did the clear corner mod. its a bitch.

    they have plastidip at home depot and lowes. i never saw it at napa but maybe.

    it takes forever to get the headlights apart, even with a heat gun and picks, and a screwdriver to pry with. everything inside there is very fragile, the chrome peels easily, every tiny piece of dust you get in there is hard to get out and will show up when you put them back in the car. and no matter how well you seal/glue/silicone/gasket them back together they will still get fogy inside every few months. im not saying its impossible. its just a bitch. for pics of how they look cc'ed and joey moded, check out my last thread http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...res-%28long%29

    theres a few decent pics of them in there.

    Congrats. You have a nice clean palette to start with. I have the oem upper and lower black grilles and love them!! No more spraying them with plasti dip.

    You should look into spacers. 10mm front, 15mm rear and you're set.

    Spacers sound like a great idea. I plan on just painting these instead of buying new wheels. When that happens, spacers will definitely be goin in.

    I bought these from ECStuning, and all you'll need are the 4-pin ballasts, igniter cables, and bulbs( D1S, turn signal, etc ). It says it requires wire splicing in the description, but it doesn't, just put in all the components and put it car, plug and play. I really like my e-codes.

    cc mod was simple. i found that if you adjust your highbeam all the way up, the amber lens will fall out or get half way out, and you can use needlenose to pull it the rest of the way.

    Congrats. Great pick up there. I would skip on swapping the bumper, but to each his own. You will find someone who would buy that USP bumper quick.

    No one said anything about swapping out the bumper... OP was talking about swapping his grill to a Caractere.
