Default That is very nice. Complements in carrying it all out!

I really want to do the S8 front end. It just seems like a big undertaking going from a pre-face lift. But, probably this summer.

Love the looks. Could you please provide me more information about the rotor and calipers mods? I would love to do that to my '05 W12.

Default info you requested

The rotors are from www.brakeworld.com (link below) and are OEM rotors that have been modified and Zinc dipped to prevent corrosion. They are a direct swap. The calipers were removed from the car and sent to a local powdercoater to be coated and then reinstalled. the decals on the calipers were custom cut by my shop, but are available on Ebay search "Audi caliper decal" let me know if you need any more specifics<ul><li><a href="http://www.brakeworld.com/catalog.asp?page_id=items&amp;catid=1">Drilled/slotted Brake rotors</a></li></ul>

Very well done. What brand of tint did you use for the windows?

Though I'm new to the club, I've been an admirerer of Audi for years. My favorite European brand gets better and better. And your pics exemplify that. Amazing job on your A8. Simple elegance with a touch of edge. I'm looking to add an A8 to my garage at the top of the next year. This just confirmed my choice. Very nicely modded black car.....it gets no better!

Default I'd suggest 1st Class in Pompano....

They did my S8 conversion paint work, and the repair when I was rear-ended... it came out better then expected & they were reasonable. They also can do the tail tint if you're so inclined....

They're an Audi cert. shop as well

What are you needing ? repairs ?
