Exactly what I am going for.
It is called the Black Optics package, and is tough to get in the US and expensive.
Plan on doing the vinyl mod on the window chrome, at least.

Yes, yes... but let's not forget that the awesome pictures we have seen thus far in this post are of real RS6s with wide fenders sitting on dark, big and fat 20x9.5 wheels with massive tires to match, not the smaller thinner 19x8.5 reps which will have smaller and thinner tires on them.
Although I sincerely hope that the look will be what the OP is looking for, I think that those wheels will look mismatched (given their size) to the S6, since they will be smaller than stock. I hope I am wrong and that it is not as noticeable to the 'average' eye as it will be for the trained one.

This is kinda close. I think you have an blacked out grille though...Attachment 13571

Sounds good, I looked at buying some RS6 OEM gunmetal wheels from Europe, but they are pricey...

The wheels are half an inch thinner, but I doubt I'll be able to tell.
I'll post some pics when finished and we can discuss then.

I'm really just being an ***. In some way I was just hoping to see another S6 on 20". I'm sure it will look pretty good, especially if you get the right coat on them.

My 2005 4.2 right now is pretty much stock other then tints but sitting in my garage are OEM rs6 20s in silver n next to them i have new power slot slotted rotors n hawk hps pads also next to them is black caliper paint... On top that ECS tuning has my order on back order front n rear sway bars .. Filler plate delete. Clear side markers etc. Brakes have to go on soon but should have other minor cosmetics mods this spring.. I'm excited n hoping I like the 20s on stock sport/sline susp. ...well it's not a s6 but maybe u might find it interesting. Hope to have pics asap
