I think the RS4 mesh looks good if you match it with an RS4 grille. Yes I've done fogs many times before, aftermarket and OEM retrofit. What I'd tell you is to use a relay for powering them, and draw the relay's power not directly from the battery, but from one of the ignition-switched posts below the dash (one with a yellow wire). That way you can run them anytime using a switch you install but if you turn off the car the lights will shut off and you won't kill your battery.

That's EXACTLY how I have mine wired, except the signal to the relay comes from the ignition-switched post and the power comes from the battery. Not sure I'd try to power HIDs through the ignition switch. There is also an in-cabin switch that I installed between the ignition switch and relay.
