Default looking good...

With the black out trim, the look will be nearly complete. Have you considered blacking out the rs4 logos and rings?

Default Thanks star..

I am thinking about it, seriously. At first I was against it because I thought with sprint blue it would be too much intentional blackout and look cheap, but now I am rethinking that decision. I do know that once the window trim is on in a few weeks, next target is the clear corner mod but now I may do what R1ce did, paint the inside of the headlight housings black, it looks really good. And i need to figure out which approach to take on the side markers. I think to complete the cosmetics, I may need to black the rings and get a gloss black license plate holder in back, not sure if I want to black the RS4 logos though. I see you left your front one silver, what did you do in back?

Default Actually I was going to do that..

but got some feedback to do it in body color, so I tested it by wrapping the mirror in black and blue plastic to see how it would look, and blue definitely looked better in my opinion. the black looks after market. It looked good, but sprint blue mirrors looked great to me.

Default That looks pretty bad in my opinion

a little better on the RS4 with the black rims, but body color looks much better.
