Well, I will be ordering my S4 in red exterior but I have thought about painting the grill glossy black. Looks like you did yours in red. But I suspect the remaining part of your grill is still gray, right?

well, That's what I understand from this description. Maybe I am just reading into it:


"19" Titanium Sport Package [Premium Plus]
Inspired by the Audi motorsport legacy, this package includes a number of aesthetic and performance enhancements. Exterior elements include black window trim, titanium-finish wheels and the iconic black Singleframe® grille. Inside, the Titanium Sport Package carries through the performance-look with a black headliner and supportive sport seats. The enhanced handling performance comes from the sport suspension that gives your Audi a low, assertive stance"

I think the Titanium Package description is Audi generic. In the case of the A3 or A4, it might include suspension changes, but not in the S4.

To the OP, I agree. That's why I ordered the black/chrome grill from ECS Tuning. Black cars should have Black grills.

They're only doing that because the grill fits both cars since the grill (and the car) is the same.

Hey OP, you may not like it (I do, actually) but at least it ain't an Acura TL!

Butt Ugly!

But I'm not sure that the S4 was supposed to be "bad ***"... maybe more like a classy sports sedan. Maybe an understated bad *** at best.

I actually think the blacked out look is kinda cheap and juvenile. Maybe its just cuz I'm a tad older.... but i never quite followed the whole black rims/black everything fad. I remember seeing blacked out rides on MTV and hip-hop music videos and thinking it looked ghetto.
I'm with you. The "murdered out" look (all black) is too juvenile for m tastes. I like the chrome accent on the grill -- it's subtle, not audacious.

I think shiny or matte black with the chrome trim left as is would be nice too. I'm also not really into the fully blacked out grilles. The perfect combo, to me, would be to black out the gray parts of the grille and rear valence while leaving the chrome grille trim and chrome rear valence blade untouched. The S4 is about luxury and sport, so blacking everything out seems kind of off to me.

I think Ice Silver with titanium package would look killer. It hides the mirrors so it looks like an A4, but most A4's won't have the Ti package. People will look at and be confused, especially after the v6T badge removed. It will be one very clean looking and stealthy car. Can't wait to get my car in that combo.
