The badges really aren't hard to install yourself. I got mine from ECS. There are some good threads in this forum for that, or PM me and I can walk you through it. The other stuff is personal preference. I'm eyeing up a black grille which would match the fog light grilles and just look better IMO. Probably will wait for spring on that. Customize a bit and have fun doing it. Post pics...

Car looks great! Enjoy it! I just did my supercharger badges last night. Took longer than I thought but that is not a bad thing. It means they were stuck on pretty well plus using a hair dryer I was very careful about the paint. So took my time. It started out slow because I used the floss the dentist gives you for free and it kept breaking. So went in the house and got that crappy tasting cinnamon floss which was thicker and they came right off. Took almost as long to get the adhesive off.
One word of caution. When you print out the templates watch the scaling. Mine were too small and my badges are probably 1/8" or so closer to the jam than intended but they look great.
As for the seat colors, I too was concerned when I saw the pictures of the interior. The red looked pinkish and the black looked medium/dark gray.
As it turns out the red looks great and the black is a shade or so lighter than black. But I am fine with that.
My car is silver with black/red seats and the red in the supercharger badging adds a nice touch. I even bought an extra badge which I might put on the trunk lid. Can't decide if opposite the S4 badge or next/under it. Any suggestions?

Redrocker added a badge on the trunk opposite the S4 badge. I think it looks good. It isn't 'original' from the factory, but lots of people customize the looks of their cars. I think this looks clean and balanced.
