The trunk area was the last part I had to clean up. I can't fathom how people will try to make every corner of their expensive new shiny car perfect and then settle for a cheap chromed plastic license plate frame with either ugly protruding plastic fasteners or rusty steel fasteners.
Got the license plate frame, custom plate, and debadging done. No protruding fasteners, the thing is flat. Got a billet aluminum countersunk plate with M6 16mm flat head titanium hex bolts from China but had to cut them down to 14mm to get it to fit the finnecky plate mount since nobody sells a 14mm. Cutting titanium with a dremel isn't easy lol.

Here's the front, I always think the rear 3/4 angle looks better in photos though. In photos the nose looks a little too bulbousy, even when the car is lowered.
Thanks, but we all have to look at the front of our cars too.
I felt the same way, this car has a fairly long front overhang, but I came to appreciate the front when I look at the long hood vs just looking at the nose. The hood line is actually pretty sporty and many mid or front engine cars have similar nose proportions so there's really not much wrong with the S5. This 2020 A5 pic is what convinced me that the front is actually OK:
I have it ceramic coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and I wash it myself once a week with a pretty in-depth process (it's my form of therapy )
A good therapy to have, good cardio, stretching, and calorie burn; but best of all is the last one, similar to if you were at a Hawaiian Tropic Contest.
