My progress so far.
preparing for the RS4 mesh.
Also Saturday w/ help from a friend, was able to bend my hood back & now can open my hood.
I gotta figure how I'm gonna mate the existing foglight surround (plastic), to the new RS4 mesh.

here's an idea for forming the mesh into the openings-
cut a template out of hard foam or cardboard to fit the shape of the 2 slots in your bumper piece. leave enough gap for the thickness of the mesh.
heat gun the mesh-not much, and slowly- push your template in just enough to form the mesh in there.
pull out and trim
it should have molded enough to get a decent cut and fit onto your bumper pieces.
test it out on a scrap piece of mesh first to get the hang of it
