USP Motorsports Grille

**AnthonyNY** · 03-18-2016 09:44 AM

I recently just took delivery of my Audi S5 and I'm looking into changing the stock chrome grille to the RS one, I've done some research and it seems the USP grille is one of the best for the price, but I can't seem to tell from their site if it comes with the Audi rings can anyone confirm if it does or doesn't. Also I'm from the Long Island area so I'm looking at elite Motorsports for the install and some other work but if anyone has other suggestions I would appreciate them. Thank you.

Comes with the rings.

Being from long island, you're options are very limited, but I wouldn't go to Elite motorsports. I went there to install my ecodes and after an hour they were installed but the fitment was off and I corrected them myself. They also didn't bother aiming the headlights which I took care of on my own. In the end, I should have just done the entire install on my own but figured they may do a better job. I was wrong. They pay no attention to detail with something as simple as installing headlights, makes me wonder what they do with mechanical work. Others also have complained about them, you can find some reviews in the regional forums.

how easy of a self install is this? I am about to get my car and was hoping to just do it myself.

Very easy 2-3/10 on DIY scale

1) pop open hood unscrew the 4 top radiator shroud screw. put shroud aside
2) pop open the fog grilles, take off the fog housings
3) with the car on, turn one of the wheels to the left ( or right) most side.
4) go to the opposite side of wherever u turned u wheel. pop open the fender liner clips facing the front of the car ( I think about 4? )
5) pull back the fender so it exposes the insides. there are 2 bolts you need to remove. you will probably need a socket wrench w/ extension to reach it.
6) repeat for the other side
7) unscrew the 6 or so screws under the bumper holding the belly pan
8) carefully yank the sides of the bumper away from the fender ( I would put a towel in between the bumper and headlights so you don't scratch anything
9) carefully lower the bumper off the top as well. disconnect the homelink sensor that is behind the grille

pretty much the idea. but as I typed this essay, I saw chanman posted up a guide, so that would probably be more help.

also, remember to put a towel on the floor as you take off the bumper. wouldn't want any scrapes!

The rings do come installed.

Do you have a B8 or B8.5?
