    Hello,

    Ive recently purchased a 2013 A4 B8.5. I want to do some quick mods to the exterior. I am looking for Door blades (prefer brilliant black), I also want to find a good source for a honeycomb rs grille and fog light covers. Thanks for the help

    Ecs tuning seems to be the go to for good quality honeycomb grills mines from there and I love it. Fits perfect easy to install and good quality had it for about a year now.

    How long did the grille take to install? I am no mechanic but am not useless around cars.

    I paid someone took them 30 min. I watched and seems pretty easy, Ecs gives good instructions that they send with the grill, I myself could have done it in an hour

    Agree with installing yourself. I have installed tons of them on B8's and MK2 TT's and extremely easy. The ECS tuning grille is crap quality, no difference than the Ebay ones and the ebay versions are the same price and even include the RS fog grilles.

    If you can't find the rocker blades (aka stone guards) here, ECS carries them and easily install with double sided tape. As long as you use the 3m automotive tape it will be durable with 0 issues.

    Ya I liked the look of the grille and fog lights. Good to know about the quality of the eBay ones. I've heard different sides to the rock guards. Do you have experience with the 3m tape ones?

    I have my rock guards installed with 3M tape and no issues even with the bipolar Texas weather; They have been through thunderstorms and 100+ degree weather.
