Can't agree more! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the natural finish of the wood inlays. We have the Brilliant Black with Chestnut interior, and could not be happier. Congrats on the new car!

Guys,

I think these are probably my last set of mods of my new Q5.

LED fog light/driving light bulbs installed (lower bulbs in the bumper).
Q5 Carpeted Floor Mats
Faux Carbon Fibre Tow Hitch Cover

Also, if you ever install a bike rack on the bumper and back up, the rear sensor goes off. Yes, you can press the button inside the car next to the AC and the beeping shuts off--but, this also shuts off the rear camera. There is a way to resolve the issue by tricking the rear power accessory next to the hitch into thinking you actually have a trailer behind you.

What bulbs did you put in the fog lights? I am debating whether to put those ones in or yellow ones in....

LUMEN® H11CW - Fog/Driving Light Replacement LED Bulb (H11, White)--from carID.

Easy install, but, you have to remove the wheel well panels partially (just 3 screws, peel it back).

They match the LED DRLs perfectly?

Perfect match on the plug-in.

Honestly, 20 minute installation--both sides, including opening the panels.

You have to turn your steering wheel to rotate the tire and then access one side at a time, thru the wheel well. There are some pictures on-line.

Easy does it. I have replaced every bulb on the car that was not an LED, with LEDs. Look is great, light is bright. Inside and out.

To trick the car into thinking it is towing you could technically just add two lights to the bike rack. The only problem with tricking the car into thinking that you're towing is that it will adjust your stability control and shift points for something that doesn't really exist which would probably make you use more fuel due to higher rpm.
