well, i suppose i've done enough bitching on this forum so i'd better post something positive to contribute 
so i sat there thinking about what i can do in the way of mods to the RS4. it's pretty much like thinking about what kind of steak sauce to put on a smith & wollensky rib eye, cuz it just doesn't need any. after searching pictures on the web, i finally decided i need a "euro" touch to the american RS4, so....
THIS
PLUS THIS
EQUALS THIS
guys in europe are probably scratching their heads wondering what all the fuss is about but over here in the "colonies", the EU license plate panel is a pretty rare sight. in addition, i blacked out the side marker reflectors in the front and rear bumpers which "cleans up" the overall appearance of the car, i think.
ok, so it doesn't make me go any faster, but it's a start

Looks nice. I was wondering how/where the front plates attached, because I never saw any holes there.

Looks good...like what you did to the marker lights. Just two more orange to clear conversions and your done!
BTW - that river will make any steak taste good!

the panel has 4 screws that plug in from the bottom. the top of the panel has slots that clip into the grill housing. really easy. the license plate is sandwiched in so no fasteners needed to hold it in place.
i bought it from a shop in the UK called www.vagparts.com. they have some other cool stuff like euro tail lights with amber turn signals.
yes, tint is probably next. at least to keep that socal sun off the leather!!

the corner reflectors were removed and painted by my dealer. they owed me a favor. apparently the fronts were a pain as they're bolted in. the rears come out easily and are merely clipped in.
the euro plates aren't exactly legal, but neither is driving above the posted speed limits i personally have never been hassled. but then again, the front says the same thing my state government issued plates on the back say.

The car looks great!!! See, thats a question I had. If I were to put the same thing in the front (euro plate style), as my government issued plates, would I be pulled over, or not?

Most Cop don't hassel you in CA, but they could give you a fix it ticket if s/he is being a jerk.
BTW: Nice Mod I just order the front filler plate without the two chorme strip, black on black, hope to show some pic when done. Hope the black on black turns out as nice as yours.

I recently added the filler plate without the silver strips. I think they both look good, but I was shooting for the black on black as well. I wanted that gaping mouth to be uninterrupted, it's just preference.

Great mod choices tsunami. The car looks to be coming along very well, personally I am a fan of the euro plate, I like how you can't see the fasteners (as you said, it's sandwiched)

i bought these UK plates from an on-line company called fancyplates.com. they have an online configurator and they ship it directly to you. you can customize it with different fonts and logos if you want to. but they only have british plates, which are plastic. and always remember: the yellow plates go on the back. the white ones are on the front!! nothing looks sillier than seeing some US guy with a yellow british plate on the front
if i was really hardcore, i would get a euro trunk lid so i can put the UK plate on the back too (under the CA plate of course) but it seems like a lot of $$$ not to go any faster. that's what i did with my old sled:
