All comes down to how you value the extra performance & prestige the audi has over the G, and the willingness to accept the higher upfront and long-term costs. Was looking at CPO B8 S4s pretty seriously prior to getting the G, but glad I took the route I did. IN my case, the extra perf would rarely be exercised, and the cool factor was not significant enough to justify the $$$. But man is that a great looking car, and a blast to drive

I wonder if it would look better if the S was smaller. But at the same time the single letter doesn't look right. Maybe post some pics of the different placements.

Maybe the whole G37S in the left corner??
Doesn't take up much room and would add a bit more than the lone S, more like the RS sizing that seems to get positive feedback?

Maybe Rochester can even P-Shop it for you (subtle hint), lol.

I actually prefer the looks of the G to to the S4 (excluding the front because the S4 trumps it there) but I prefer the prestige of the S4 over the G. When it comes down to it I ultimately decided on reliability but one can't help but want to live a little dangerously every now and then.

Perhaps. Better still if the letters were mounted on a back plate, and not just floating on the grille mesh. They're still kind of big for the grille, IMO.

Here's another idea, assuming you remove the Fuji for it: offset this badge; splash of red, applicable reference without the non-applicable NISMO reference:

So much you can do w/ custom graphics, just put the smaller G37S on a black backing, cover w/ a nice shot of clear coat. Slanting the letters a bit would add a bit more style as well G37S

Hotchkis sway bars installed and test drive completed. Handling feels much more crisp and tighter. Freeway off ramp near my house was easily handled @ 90 mph. I wouldn't push it much further in the day with the traffic and all, plus my tires are worn down a bit to get to aggressive. All in all a worthy mod and I'd recommend it to anybody interested in a "more fun" drive. Installation was a breeze, the hardest part was getting the car lifted up. Does anybody else hate the metal retainer clips that hold together the plastic dust shield under the engine? I swear it becomes a bigger and bigger PITA each time I take it off.

That the same ramp you could only take at 65? I think being all pumped up and excited contributed more to your jump from 65 to 90 mph than the sways did.

Either way, enjoy the new handling, Warp. Be careful out there.

Yeah man, same ramp. I'm pretty confident that I could have pushed it further but 90 was enough for me. You were right, though. These suckers make the car feel PLANTED to the ground. Great mod for the price.

I put the link bolts through the center of the three setpoints. I'm not conservative but I'm not tracking the car either.

Middle seems like a good balance to me. Very tempting to try the last hole though.

I brought my car into the shop with that guard off, that stupid thing would add like $90 in labor. Plan on putting it back on with the next oil change.
