Default Hit, I like the black out look...

I got a kamei grill from a friend and since it matches the blacked out chicken wire shiet that came with my bumper, I installed it. Matches perfectly and looks pretty sick. You need the matching rs4 look lower grill mesh that Andy Sprague sells.

Id go with the painted rings, i think it looks better. I did that on mine, i also painted the outer part of the grill black as well. It looked pretty good.

Default Paint them body color or aluminum color.

Mine are aluminum color to match the RS4 grill surround. I think it looks way better than chrome.

(I know my intercooler inlet pipe is jacked up.)

Default personal taste.. the paint was coming off mine so now they are chrome again..

Actually I have custom rings now.. the paint thiner used to take the paint off took the chrome off as well.. so they look like rings crafted from an old WW2 fighter plane. =)
