My 2016 S3 came with red brake calipers....a $400.00 option. Should be the same for the SQ5...........

$400.00 on the Audi USA 2016 S3 build matrix, Dennis, and my option list states the same. Not sure where you are getting the $500.00 number.
Not sure the option is worth the money, but it's a nice little touch.....I wouldn't have likely ticked the box if I ordered the car.

I did, btw, order a set of Weather Tech front floor liners and do like them. Perfect fit. Amazing how flimsy the stock fabric floor mats are....

Okay. Maybe the $500 was the 2015 price. It wasn't on the order guide when I ordered early, but recalled it became available later. Black is fine for me.

I have WeatherTech up front, and Audi all weather in rear. The snow and salt slop in the winter are horrible in the Northeast.

I painted my own for under $30, plus $10 for the decals. Easy to do.

I also have the Audi Weathertech floor mats. I leave them in all the time.

Jim, I'm surprised you haven't gotten the aluminium pedal set.

Could you have the SQ5 red brake calipers put on the rears?
