I've noticed a few S5s with the honey comb grill form the RS5. Are you all just purchasing from Audi and having the dealer install it after delivery?

lol No Most are buying replicas from Ebay or other stateside sellers. If you priced it out from Audi then you know why people choose to go this route. You can either pay a shop or do it yourself. Again, the dealer will be overpriced

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for clarifying. I don't plan to add the honey comb grille even as great as it looks. I feel as though it would be misrepresenting the car as I have an S5 and the HC grille is really a staple of the RS5.

They're audi replicas by Hartmann. 20x9 ET 29. They're going to become my winter wheels. Not sure what I'm going to do yet for my summer rims.

It was cold, 35°F but not cold enough to keep me from washing a clean RS5.

it's fine just remove the RS5 badging that comes with it (it is an RS5 replica grill after all) and replace it with the quattro/S5 emblem. I did it on my A4 and was gonna do it to my S5. You aren't misrepresenting anything, it's just a grill. It says quattro at the bottom of the grill, your S5 is a quattro. It's like someone taking the RS5 carbon fiber mirror caps, spoiler and putting it on the A5, no one will think you're a poser. They just think you like to mod your car and make it your own. Placing RS5 badges and when people open the hood and don't see that Biturbo then we have a problem.
