Id just ask the dealer if you have the time. Im sure you can get it from them at the same price the internet will have it (if its anywhere on the net) and you get an answer directly from them so you know if it will fit for sure.

ORIGINAL: BAMF
Right, I've seen the S3 grill, but the grill on the RS models is different. The S3 is similar to the A3 in that the grill inlets are square -- sort of a cross-hatch pattern. The RS grills are more like diamond inlets, sort of a mesh style. I was hoping there was something like this available that would match the curvature of the car and have provisions for mounting the rings (versus making my own with metal mesh.)

i know. do the S3 grill, notch it out and drop in the mesh. you can either get the plastic ones from audi or buy metal ones from McMaster. takes a lil more work, but its better to make somethin YOUR OWN then always buy off the shelf

After some more searching, I've found out that the RS4 grill won't fit directly (nor will an A4 or S4 for that matter), but that was a long shot anyway.
I just checked out McMaster's site and I've got a few ideas. I think I'm gonna try to fab something up myself. Anyone got a spare stock grill they want to let go for cheap?
