I've been in contact with the guy from www.usmillworks.com They dont have their Audi kits currently listed on their site but I have been in contact with the guy for over 6 months and right before christmas he told me he does have Audi kits instock. They look to have the best desgin compared to other tow hook license plate brackets.

Was never really a fan of the tow hook plate.

Of course it's all a matter of opinion, but I personally don't like the way this looks at all, simply because the grill looks far too big for the car. It's just an expansive sea of black in the nose of the car.



Same idea here, but in reverse because the car is black and the silver grill looks huge on the car. The filler bar or even a front plate would help make the grill appear smaller and more fitting for the car. Again, only my opinion and no offense intended to the guys who actually own those cars.

Ive been thinking the same thing. Its like a bird cage. Just to much open space. Dont get me wrong though the facelift front end is dope but def does need something in that space. I have even wonder how it would look if the audi emblem was center.

Great looking RS I feel overall this is the best color for the RS. Clean, classy, sporty, easy to maintain, conservative, different and silver is classic euro Let me know if you sell in a couple years:)

Thanks--def agree with you on all points! I'll be in touch in a couple years...

that is a PRISTINE looking RS5. What tint % is that? Tint brand/type? Congrats!

Thanks! FormulaOne 35% tint.

Thanks for sharing a great info! I should put spacers as well, right now i have a rubber sticker that came with the kit behind the plate so that it does not touch the bumper.

Using spacer sounds much better, once again thanks.

No prob--I tried it the way you mentioned at first, but wanted a way to take the plate off quickly and that's when I thought of using spacers. I also used lock washers/rubber washers to help keep it from coming loose.

Do you have any more pics of your car? trying to decide which tint to go with.

On the pre-FL car, it would look like this:

That is a "filler plate". Remove that by removing the two small screws below the filler and lift up and remove.

Just registered my car the other day and returned to see the responses. Thanks! Had no idea this was a filler over the actual plate holder. Glad I won't have to drill through it.

Edit: and I just realized I revived a month old thread. Oops.

^ correct me if I'm wrong but I thought nose rings went out in the early 90's

Thanks Danny, I agree Sho n Go will probably be the best option. My only concern is how well it would hold up agaisnt NY weather (snow/salt etc), being that the motorized version has moving parts and it sits so low. Also, would any mods such as a bigger FMIC get in the way? These are all things that need to be considered. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey no prob. I cant believe I missed this post. Just noticed it because the thread got bumped. I dont know how it would hold up. Salt destroys everything. A FMIC might get in the way if you wanted to mount it just like the video. You would have to mount it lower.

I live in NYC area and just put some extra oil it... if it breaks it is an easy mod to replace and not too expensive... it is a must IMHO on this type of grill...
