Default Trunk (Load) sill question

I noticed the loading area in the trunk is probable to get scratched and damage easily. Did anyone purchase the loading clear sill strip I see online. I think it's for 2009 + model but assume it will fit 2013 as rear bumper design especially the loading part looks same. For around 60 bucks sounds like a good solution.

Thanks

I did a clear bra type stone guard on the front of the car, and the guy did the trunk sill at the same time. I got a larger area covered than the pre-cut strip you can get from Audi.

Here is another one which I had on my 2011 2.0 and I am glad I did. I do not know whether this one will fit the 2013 3.0...

Not difficult at all. There was double sided tape on the sill and after cleaning the bumper I just stick it on. It stayed there for 38,000 miles. I would imagine it could be quite easy to remove if wanted.

I do not have the car anymore - no pictures. I traded for a 2013 3.0T. I am looking at the same option for the new car.
