Your car truly does look stunning in Imola with Ti trim. A little hard to fly under the radar in that beauty!

I just placed a 2012 Ibis w/Ti on order... and my dealer told me yesterday that Audi has met its allotment of Ti for both early- and late-July production. Probable August production, September delivery. Something to bear in mind. I agree w/you that non-Ti is perhaps a bit more classy, Ti a little more sinister - especially with darker colors. Personally, I wouldn't go Ti with darker colors for that reason. I also wouldn't go white without Ti - to me, the white/ti color combo really pops, and is arguably more masculine than "just" white. I've seen this combo in person, and find it striking. My 2 cents!

Hal- nice Noggy! you must have blackened your Noggy trim? I know on the CH-R you can remove the silver band on the outside edge of the black CH-R wheel, so you can have a complete black wheel.

I'm honestly not a fan of the titanium package, mainly because it feels half assed to me. If they had included a rear difusser that matched the front, it would be a different story. As it is, it feels incomplete.

I do like the way the black grill and black window trim look, mainly on white and red cars.

Hal- Unfortuneatly here now you cannot change your user name yourself after the vB SW upgrade debacle that spawned QW. It requires a mod to change your username now. If you go over to the feedback forum and post a thread "I would like to change my username to XXXX", Kris Hansen will do it for you.

Pros:
Black out grille and black out window trim

Undecided:
Wheels?? - Not sure I like these enough, but they seem to be growing on me and look like they will conceal brake dust a bit.

The Titanium pkg has a sinister look to it; the non-Titanium has a classier understated look - not sure which I will like for a longer period of time! Anyone want to weigh in with an opinion?

Thanks!

Like you, I am going to get an ibis white S4 and I will definitely get the Ti package. Don't understand the comments here about the Ti wheels looking crap. If you haven't seen them in real life or a high quality close-up photo, you can't appreciate how attractive they are. Plus those tri's looked good at first to me when they first came out a couple of years ago, but they just don't do it for me anymore. Get the Ti on ibis white. It will look awesome. I've seen a photo on one of these forums with Ti on ibis. Search for it and you won't turn back.
