You can get the mesh here and pre-powdercoated.
I purchased the large sheet which is enough to cover the entire grill. The price was about 70 USD but the labor is the big part. I used a dremel, some files, etc but the whole process took some time to do cleanly. There is a lot of grinding and cutting to be done. If you have the time, patience and are good with working with your hands, it's not too big a deal.<ul><li><a href="http://www.customcargrills.com/products.asp?id=1">Mesh</a></li></ul>

Thanks, what I like about the S-Line is that it has a mesh style rear valence stock. I think Audi
could have done more with the S5 rear valence but I do like the aluminum spoiler. Originally I thought it was just painted but when removed, its actually a very nicely designed piece.

Thanks. Original grill definitely has the bling and I think my car
gathered more attention with it than it does with the mesh. Funny though, some people look at it now like they can't figure out what it is, especially with the small rings on the hood. The front end is more in-line with what I have going on with my next wheel set though. I want a sporty, mean look as opposed to a classy look anymore.

Quattrings,
Hey thanks for the info, I spent 5 seconds and Photoshop the grills for the removal of the license plate mount. I really like the Audi logo in the center of the grill...

Thanks Roswell. I am curious as to how it will look with the
'RS' mesh which is thicker. I'm still toying around with some different things that Im hoping will look good.
