I kept only the QUATTRO on the rear for mine. Also regarding the 2.0T, those were for the 2018 models. 2019 got the QUATTRO badge only instead

Same with a prior effort to cover the entire thing with electrical tape. I think I’ve got some flat black spray paint in the garage and may try that, or failing that, I’ll hit it with some Plastic-Dip.

Well that makes sense....<smacks forehead>. I wonder why they made the change? Save a $1/car?

It actually makes more sense for you. You have the rings in the center plus the model and quattro badges? I'm assuming the model badge is on one side and quattro on the other.

My car only had the rings in the center and S5 on the left. For me leaving the S5 off makes the back end perfectly symmetrical.

Our local EZPass authority will charge a penalty if you have “defaced” their EZPass when you exchange it. Any kind of markings, writing, painting is considered defacing their property; I have no idea what the penalty is or how serious they take this, but the OP of the Amazon device has a great product find!

Yes mine is exactly as you described. Model badge on the left, quattro on the right, rings centered.

Yeah, I was aware of this when I sprayed it with the Plastidip. I have no ideal what the fine is, but presumably the spray can be peeled off.
