The hood emblem is the ONE thing I hate about the R8 design...
...not to mention how much of a PITA it would be detailing the car with those in the way. Skip.

Likewise Moonrokk - glad I bumped into you!
You actually can get the mesh in powdercoated flat black in the 12x48 size but only gloss in the larger 18x48 size. If you plan to do the whole grill, you'll want the 18x48 so you can do it in one piece. I think the RS mesh would be perfect if it's about the same size but it would be expensive to buy an RS6 grill only to have to cut it up. It would be a sad moment.

Hard to imagine an R8 with a big chrome emblem in the grill though, it fits the image IMO
It's a subjective look though, takes getting used to.

Frankly, I prefer the stock grill but this one is a close second....
