Added a nice deep rumble. Overall, very pleased with the sound. I did get some highway driving last night and on S Mode, there will be slight drone at 75+mph, on D mode there is none.

Nice! Drone is especially hard to completely eliminate on a 4 cylinder platform. I found that out on my B8.5 2.0T
I know it looks a bit wonky with the chrome strips and I thought about a RS5 grill but its too ambitious of a project
I like what you’re doing. Tell me about doing the fender / door badges. My only concern with doing them myself is breaking a clip off that ends up rattling around inside the door until I die.
So a shop did mine but I ended up buying oem black inlays from Audi before the job and he installed them. Ironically, he said it would have been easier to just wrap them than remove and install the new ones as it was the toughest part of the job

Absolutely stunning good work, much better than the stock look. Any pics with the new wheels?

And paired with a subtle 50% ceramic tint all around, she's got a lot more mystique and class now. Manhattan grey and dechrome is just sexy. All that's left are the rims. Waiting on some 2021 20" black optic rims to come in to complete the look I'm going for Here are some random pics as I know there have bee a few members (including myself) looking for higher quality pics to demonstrate the quality. Pardon the dust and dirt; have to let it cure for a bit before I can give it a good wash.
Note: the satin was done with a polymer/vinyl liquid wrap; several coats were done. Gloss black vinyl is a new product by APA "jet gloss black"; went for this as it has notably far less orange peel than 3M (and it's ink black and matches the corner piece at the base of the A pillar and the gloss black mirror caps.
Satin black on:
- grille (minus the S5 badge)
- front vent trims
- side fender badges (just the satin silver part)
- rear diffuser (including trim)
- tailpipes
Gloss black on:
- window trim
- trunk lip
Other:
- OEM gloss black rear badges
- gloss black mirror caps (aftermarket) with sweeping indicators
- PPF on the rocker panels
- 50% tint all around
