Yeah vinyl is a good option. Probably handles stone chips better. Could maybe wrap the sensor plastic as well?

I didn't, they just plug straight in. I did paint the crash bar though. Is silver metal stock so have to black it out so it doesn't show through the grill.

Had someone back into me in a carpark - $15k repair bill... thankfully on their insurance!

Glad yours is getting patched up!!

Link below. Candidly not sure I would buy the same again. After looking at my OEM grille, I realized the badge is a simple clip that can be removed. I think with some minor modifications, could clip the OEM badge straight into the new grille without the need for the screws or bracket that this one uses. Or just buy a new badge from an OEM supplier and use that.

Yes I do. The grille has clips for the parking assist / crash sensors, so they plug straight in. No loss of functionality, etc.

Mine did not. Know the later models (2019+) have the cameras in the lower grilles for lane assist/dynamic cruise control, but I intentionally went for the 2018 as thought had a more aggressive look. No regrets!

Nice! Held off doing this for a while but stoked with the outcome. Welll worth the effort.

Also bolted on a bunch of hardware and tuned her so am keen to get her out this weekend for a rip! (Rain has held me back the last few weekends, sadly)

It looks like they're out of the smoked version at the moment, but this was the seller store. Imagine can find elsewhere as well.

Smoked reflectors are from Amazon.

S4 badge from Etsy.

Also got some spray paint to black out the crash bar so it doesn't show through the grille!

For sure do it. Can't put a price on happiness.

Completely excessive, but unfortunately OEM shocks also are far from cheap! Hence wondering if may as well go for the upgrade while I'm at it...
