somewhat agree, they both work, but wasn't Audi's original intent
for the sideblade was to break up the profile of the car? with CF on a black car, only in certain lights can that be achieved....
ah hell, I like 'em both.

In response...
Seems that there are a lot of opinions regarding side blade colors after my post.
I think it is responsible to comment and define:
1. The posted images can never do the actual product justice. The audiworld.com image maker down-res system eliminates a ton of detail.
2. The interesting effect of the carbon blade is that has a very dynamic color quality. As you move around the car the blade offers either excellent contrast to body color or simply blends in. It is not static like Oxygen Silver.
3. Oxygen Silver on Phantom Black makes the car appear very tall and short.
4. Carbon on Phantom Black makes the car look very low and long. Totally different than above.
I'll keep posting images as we're only a day into a 7-9 day process of transforming this car.

If you ever get bored, you can try this - I think it flows VERY well with the window profile...

As mentioned, pictures just cant do it justice. Originally I thought I would want a greater contrast, but I really like the carbon on black. Had I gone with a light colored car, I would for sure want a more contrasting blade.

Having always thought the blade was a bit gimmicky, I like it
I understand the argument for the blade. It has grown on my a bit. But this photo makes me think about what the car have been had the blade been eliminated.
Now, this half painted blade just looks OK as it does not really fit with the lines of the car. But if the lines were integrated... WOW!
