Well played
As for the rear valance, it should work but I'd play around it in photoshop to see how it looks since the raised edge is on top and not bottom. Seems like you're going for RS5/RS4 look:
The P40SC's will look great

Update-
I have everything in except the LLTEK RS Grill and Enco Hood, ended up not going with the HFC because of what's been said about the increase in cabin noise/drone. Do they make small (form fitting) US licence plate fillers? I'm not excited about sticking my old plate filler on the new LLTek grill...
Any one have any other mod recommendations?
Has anyone looked into replacing the front seats with some other Audi performance seats? The passenger and I seem to slide all over the seats when I corner even slightly fast. Will most Audi seats (RS5) from the same period swap in, or will I need custom seat brackets? I'd like to retain the heated seat function...
Thinking about adding APR's K04 turbo conversion to the mod list as well...

Finally! Install starts next week in San Diego(body/wheels/brakes/suspension/chassi brace); I've been waiting on the Enco hood for 3 months now... Then the final phase (?) will be the first week of August up in the Bay Area at 034 Motorsports (Turbo/FMIC/HFC/Valve cover breather assembly w/ catch can).

I'll take some pics of the custom fabrication necessary (joke) to get the APR Carbonia Intake installed in the 2.0 Q5. Its surprising that APR doesn't sell/provide the 1/2 inch spacer needed on top of the radiator. Very easy and clean install.
Although, the Carbonia intake inlet that mounts into the OEM air inlet opening at the front of the leading edge of the hood has a small cut out section that is open. Personally I don't think it effects the ram air induction, so I'm not worried.
