Default To ring or not to ring.....

I have the Kamei hexagonal grill on my car to which I have affixed a rear S4 badge. I thought the front badge was a little too inconspicuous, and since I wasn't planning on installing any rings, a slightly bigger front badge would look nice. Well, I'm now having second thoughts about the rings. The front of the car just seems to look a little "empty" without them. So....should I ring or not ring. If I do ring, should I maybe put a set of rear rings on (smaller) to go with my larger S4 badge, or should I just get a set of standard front rings?

Default Ringem baby...

The rings are what Audi is made of. I thought about debadging and getting rid of the rings but I really like the Audi Sport badge and the Audi rings.

The rings are part of Audi's history. I will eventually get a different grill and I will do the rings and my S4(Audi Sport) badge.

Default Also, you can epoxy putty some small bolts to the rings, and make mounting studs that line up with

the grill openings.<p>Jim De Arras
