you know, the grille on the RS4

does anyone know where i could get one of these grilles? ive seen them before, but cant find one anywhere. ive wanted one of these forever, but i havent seen it cheaper than $500


a lil' help anyone? Bueller?

 

ive only ever seen it on one website, and it was 500 bucks.

so, really, i dont think youll find much cheaper than that..

 

uggg...

ill just have to buy an RS4 one, and have the mesh powdercoated black, and have the middle color matched.

thanks much

 

Hopefully it will be available through the toyota dealerships within the next couple of months

 

I was told they don't sell RS stuff unless you can prove you own one and need a replacement part. I tried it when I wanted to buy an RS2.0 grill.

 

yeah. i heard that too. they try and charge you $1700 for ONE (singular) RS3 headrest w/ monitor.
are you freakin kidding me? the whole RS3 package only cost $2,310! that includes the paint@ $900/gal, spoiler, deck, xm reciever, grille, monitors, headphones, security system (that doesnt work for beans BTW), and even that ipod holder.

gimme a break.

 

buy the 500.00 dollar one and paint it your color cuz....


the dealer one specifically for the RS4 is hold onto undies
$ 966.05 pt # PZ32752010D0

 

That's feakin insane! Makes the other one look like a real bargain! LOL

 

I think the cheapest and most reasonable way of getting a RS4.0 style grill is to just make your own. Buy some quaility speed grill and make the center bar out of fiberglass. Paint/powdercoast to your desire and there you go! If you cant fiberglass, Im sure someone could do it for you easy as pie.

Maybe we could even persuade someone on here to mass produce a RS4.0 look-a-like grill for mass production.

 

You will need to buy one used because they can't/won't sell RS parts to a non RS vin#

 

It wouldn't be too hard to duplicate one from scratch. Especially at 500 bills it will be well worth the effort.
Heck take a piece of PVD cut it kinda down the middle and paint it to match whatever color and get a couple pieces of that grill material and attatch it all to a frame of some sort.

 

yea I wanted one of the badges so I could get some custom stuff done with the RS badging I have to call scion corp to get the part numbers, oh and the RS4 paint is $2500 per quart, priced already

 

I can hear those insurance premiums go up as I type. Heck a complete repaint would total out a box if it needed 4 quarts of paint .
Oh and anyone that needs some paintwork would be well advised to get any leftover paint and sell it to other RS4.0 owners. Why let it go bad sitting on the shelf of the bodyshop.

 

wouldn't even take a complete repaint, just the front cap would total it, because it takes 4 - 6 coats to cover a single panel

 

Yeah, That price seems to be a bit high.

 

its all because its a toyota color that the body shops have to get from toyota because the aftermarket paint manufacturers can't mix it and make it match

 

the paint can be matched by a few qualified paint maufactures acording to the pdf file from toyota. thanks to Steve from puyallup Scion. now if someone here can show me how to post a pdf file ill share the info.


till then anybody that wants a copy pm me your e-mail addy
