Blackout grill retrofit...anyone done it?
 

Thinking of doing this to my Ibis white avant...looking for any advice or comments any of you might have on this subject? Thanks

Yes I am about to do mine, you gotta take the whole bumper off and its pretty much bolt on from there. Make sure you get the same gaps when putting the bumper back on.

Thanks...which mfg are you looking at?

Audi OEM black out grille. I was going to go with ECS tuning and the RS4 honeycomb grille but changed my mind.

Does anyone know how much the Audi OEM black out grille cost and installation? Cheers.

Re: Blackout grill retrofit...anyone done it?
 

$1300 installed with the blackout grille and blackout filler plate.

I was looking at the ECS grills as well...however personally I think you're on the right track with the OEM grill. Be sure to post a pic once you've done it! Rims and Tires upgrade (currently running 17" summers) and grill are the two remaining items on my mod list. Question will be which one to do first as I can't justify doing both at the same time.

I just got some brand new wheels and tires from 1010tires.com and it ran me about $2100 with the tires and 18" rims.

The reason I am changing out my grille is because mine got hit and is cracked. It is $780 for the blackout grille and $200 for blackout licence plate. I am just going to change it to whatever was stock as it is way cheaper

GAH!!!.... it's like $1500 to change the grilles.... I thought max it would be is a few hundred haha.... Because on my 2012 BMW 535i, to change the blacked out kidney grilles was less than $200 at the dealer haha....
