Just wiped the drool off my face. Nice caliper-wheel combination!

Default Re: Smoked tail lights?

There are no aftermarket smoked taillights available for the A8 that I know of, these were removed from the car and painted with tinted clear coat and then buffed. I had them done at a body shop.

Hey Boca,

I did have most of the work done at Champion Motorsports, the taillights I had done at a local bodyshop. Let me know if you need anymore info, we must have SF get together sometime, with CovertW12 and us. I don't know of any others.

Default Re: Very nice!

They are just tips, I could not justify the cost of the exhaust system, will put that towards an S8 or D4 in the next year or two.

Default Re: How'd you get it to shine that way?

It's the lighting, there are plenty of swirl marks that need buffing, although the front and rear bumpers have brand new paint!

You made the right call on the darker red on the calipers. Love the subtlety.
