If you're talking about the refreshed A5/S5 grilles being swappable, I highly doubt it.
The grille is wider than the ones we have, which will be enough to prevent a direct swap without changing the whole front fascia. I'm sure if one buys the 4 grilles on the refresh, plus the fascia, it'll be a direct swap. It'll cost $2k+ too.

oh i agree that it's a long shot, but a guy can hope, also i haven't seen anything from the refresh pile on the S5 yet, only the S4.. unless ive been looking in the wrong places

depending on the new fascia, that might not be the worst idea either.. would be factory matching paint.. but id have to get the clear bra re-done.. and that would be annoying

i do kinda dislike the fact that all of the honeycomb grills have to be aftermarket, and i have a prestige, so i keep hearing issues about the camera mounts being "less than great" or about 3 inches too high from the stock position (unless im finding the wrong ones)

yea, I thought the same thing. I think it's due to everything being top lit and the back end being relatively dark in the shadows. I upped the contrast of the photo as well darkening the darks.

I got the aftermarket grill from BK Motorsport on my Prestige and had no issues with the camera mounts or sensors.
