Blackout Emblems

**GRUMPY-S4** · 01-09-2016 10:34 PM

Looked at the Tag set. Over $700 for the whole package... Kinda of insane.

So having said that... Plasti Dip is the way to go for rings.

Any options on S4 badges and the Supercharged ones?

Plastidip is the way to go, I've had mine dipped for over 6 months now and they've made it thru many car washes. It's a bit time consuming, but quite fun.

Plasti dip or just pick up some on eBay.

You can plastidip tho badges as well, just need to take extra care when peeling them.

I picked up the carbon supercharged badges from ECS...

I replaced the "V6T" with these. Easy mod.

Are your tails tinted? What did you do for the Supercharged emblems? They are not as chromed as the badges and rings but not dark either.

Buddy ordered these and saved quite a bit of money.

i bought a set of replacement badgesand rings [front/rear] from ecs and had a friend of mine who does body and paint paint them. he did it almost for free, refusing to take my money but i insisted...

plasti-dip looks okish from a distance but ive seen some up close and worn down after time and its cheesy diy kinda boy racer imo

The tail lights are not tinted, it's probably the way the photo turned out. I'm not running any V6T or Supercharged badges, but those could be plastidipped too.

Mine are tinted

Gloss is the only way to go IMO.
I got rings and badges off Ebay.
The rings you can get in varying sizes from 6.5" right up to 8". I went for the 8" as that's the look I wanted. OEM is 7.5" I believe.
The S4 badge was smaller than OEM, but also how I wanted it.

**doug97gxe** · 01-11-2016 06:34 AM

dipped mine as well

For what it's worth, I just measured min B8.5 last night and I beleive the rings are the 7.6" version.

Got my black rings and S4 badges in from AudiBadges but the S4 badge is much smaller than stock. Sent them an email to see if they have a larger version.

That 4 being so low would bother the hell out of me... They look sick otherwise.

got it from parts4euro.com. it is not the same size. it's slightly smaller but is good enough to where you don't notice unless they're side by side.

I ordered gloss black rear badge from here. Was cheap plastic quality and while it was the correct width the width of each individual ring was smaller. Ended up having my OEM badges professionally sprayed and looks great. Only way to go besides tag set IMO. (essentially the same thing with a bit more DIY)

It's pretty noticeable but to the general public you're right. But if you have an S4 it looks odd as soon as you see it.
