Default S5 Black Optics Grille Installation recommendations

Hi. Looking to get a black optics grille for my S5. Any recommendations on where to get it installed? Live in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. How much should it cost?

While we are on the subject, do they make a grill that does not have the plate in the middle? Nothing but grille?

They all have a plate area whether it be US or Euro. They make what is called a filler plate that snaps over. I get all my stuff from Alex and europrice.us. The best serivce by far.
Witout and with filler plate. FYI, a guy on a5oc has a BO grill for $275...good buy.

They do for the RS5 (and upcoming RS4 Avant). A few people over on AZ have updated their B8 cars to the new grille. You can get it from Europrice:
