Audi S4 B8 Custom Honeycomb Foglight Grill

**VisidianRyder** · 07-10-2016 09:45 PM

Hey Audizine,

I've been scouring the internet to find honeycomb foglight grill for my 2011 Audi S4. As many other S4 owners probably already know, honeycomb foglight grill is not sold anywhere. So I decided to do it myself. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think. This is pretty time intensive but was entirely a labor of love (something other s4 owners are probably very familiar with as well). If you guys have found honeycomb foglights for a S4 somewhere else. please post a picture so I can compare. Pretty proud of how this turned out. Definitely makes the care look more on point especially if you have the RS4 grill.

If you are interested in getting a pair of these for your own baby, PM me. Thanks.

-Jimmy

Hey Delco21,

I bought the honeycomb sheet online, and then painstakingly cut out it, lay it on top of the foglight grill and gradually cut to fit. I made sure that all the honeycomb touch the foglight grill sides and are flush. Gorilla glue the hell out of it after tying it down. The passenger foglight grill had to have the inner plastic part cut out and sanded of course before the steps above. I think I spent 12+ hours on these bad boys but in the end it is totally worth it. Thanks for asking.

Those look great man.

**3rdAudinarow** · 07-12-2016 06:45 AM

Looks great!! How did you get rid of the orange in the headlights for the turn signals?

**Ruma09** · 07-12-2016 07:30 AM

Looks great. I would like to try to do this. Where u buy the honeycomb sheets?

**BJYorko** · 07-12-2016 08:16 AM

these look good, they tie the front end together nicely! Very interested in this, how much?

**car_guy81** · 07-12-2016 08:34 AM

That looks great! Hopefully you made a template so that it will be easier to replicate in the future. I found sheets of this stuff on ebay for around $40. You could offer to sell templates, or completed assemblies. I'm personally thinking about trying it myself after seeing how cheap the materials are and how good it looks!

**VisidianRyder** · 07-12-2016 06:36 PM

Hey 3rdAudiarow,

I went on ebay and purchased Error Free amber turn signals. Pretty inexpensive/expensive depending on what your budget, about $20 each. I also vinyl wrapped by orange reflector with 3M Cf so it looks boss as hell. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Ruma09,

I used the ones similar to the ones sold here on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Bl...VXBxqg&vxp=mtr

There are multiple vendors that sell the same thing. About 40 dollars a sheet. Let me know if you have any other questions.

**VisidianRyder** · 07-12-2016 06:45 PM

Hey BjYorko,

Thanks for your kind words. Honestly, I been telling everyone that I don't know what to charge. I would of course have to factor in cost of shipping ($20-30) if you are not local, materials (~30), and labor is the biggest thing. I spent about 10-12 hours on these bad boys and I'll certainly do it again for my car. For others, I don't know the price has to be right. Send me a PM if you are interested still and we can talk numbers, but honestly nothing short of like $200. I do have templates for these so who knows I may be able to shave off an a few hours. Btw here are some more pictures people have asked for for those that want to DIY. Post pictures if you manage to get it done.

**3rdAudinarow** · 07-13-2016 06:07 AM

wow that is super helpful. Thank you!

Did you have to take apart the headlights to get the orange reflector out to vinyl wrap?

Hey Jimmy,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I was thinking they were going to be closer to the $100 mark for the a finished grill set. Don't get me wrong though, I definitely understand the price you listed due to the time you say it takes you to assemble them. I wonder if you'd be able to ship just the trimmed honeycomb part based on the template you created and ship that out and then people could attach them per a quick instructions sheet you put together to help save on time and costs by you? Then you could also cut a couple of these out of the honeycomb backing sheets to help save on materials costs on your end for people that'd want to do it that way. You could also then set it up where people could purchase just the template from you, a set of the trimmed honeycomb backing, or a finished grill set for various prices to accommodate people and create a little business for yourself. I definitely like how it looks, however I just don't think it's worth it (for me) for $200 at this time. I commend you for doing this though!

**VisidianRyder** · 07-13-2016 06:47 PM

Hey 3rdAudiarow,

You certainly do. I offer this service as well but you can do it yourself as well. Check it out here: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ete-Vinyl-Wrap

It one of those 8 hour jobs. I have done like over 10+ of these. Let me know if you have any other questions.

**VisidianRyder** · 07-13-2016 07:01 PM

Hey Bjyorko,

I perfectly understand where you are coming from. I can certainly cut out some templates and have that available if people are more interested in that (not to mention it would be more much cheaper). I will have to think on how I can mass produce this in a way that is "dummy" proof so others can produce a stellar result on their own. The hard part of doing this is that the passenger side needs to have the interplastic parts cut out, furthermore the honey comb mesh comes with a square backing that needs to be sanded down or cut out otherwise it is hard to manipulate onto the grill. Furthermore cutting the mesh to exactness to fit the grill is THE hardest and longest part of this all. Place on, cut a millimeter off, then replace back on exactly the same way every time otherwise you under/over cut. Once you over cut there will be a tiny gap where the mesh does not meet the foglight frame (at that point you have to redue, live with it, or rebuilt the plastic part).I can cut a template to try out, but doing this on my car, I know the template would only save you like 4-5 hours. The hardest part, will still exist. I can duplicate the one I have on my car, but even then the meshes don't match (ie the mesh for the passenger is a bit smaller than the one for the driver because of the interplastic parts that is cut out of the passenger. Futhermore you have to cut out the interplastic part the same way I did, with a heated exacto knife, otherwise they may not fit.

This is all moot really if you are not OCD about having a perfect, flush contact of the mesh and onto the fog light. I have a template already outlined, but I know when I cut it out there is still gonna be about 3-5 hours of work that needs to be done to modify for a perfect fit. Lastly, take a look at the picture I posted about how it is glued on. If you don't care for it to fit that way, meaning you can just lay it on top over everything (doing so would produce a gap between the parallel bars of the foglights, or a gap where everything meets) then that can be done in a heart beat. In my opinion, if you own an Audi S4 or S-Line, and you care that much about getting aesthetics things done, you are vain as I am and therefore settle for nothing. Do it once do it right and make it look boss as hell. That was my running mantra.

However, let me know if you are interested in just the cut out and we can work something out. I am here to answer any other questions you may have.

A quick up date on how things are looking with these custom made honeycomb grill with the chrome fog light ring wrapped in 3M gloss black. Looks meaner in my opinion. Leave me your thoughts.

So clean. Looks factory. Def interested in these as well

**mlavelle92** · 09-12-2017 03:31 PM

You can't discuss prices for things like this or VendorZine takes down your thread because they aren't getting a cut.

If you're still doing these I'm interested... Shoot me a PM.

No single sheet. I would send you two cutouts of the honeycomb mesh. You would do the final touches and fabrication.
