Default Just ordered my 2013 S4

Prestige S-tronic / Estoril Blue / Black fine Nappa / Shades

I will be swapping out the 18s that come with for VMR V710s in 19 x 8.5, still can't stand the "peelers"

I guess if anyone wants to meet at Fort Worth Audi in October to buy the 18s and tires which will be removed before I take delivery of the car, that works for me.

Congrats. I just picked up my car on Monday and I love it. I didn't really care for the 18" wheels based on pictures, but in person, I really do like them. I have been considering the VMR v701s in 19x8.5 as my summer wheels and use the 18" wheels for winter.

Default Congrats on your car, you picked an awesome color

Can you post a few pictures of your car in the sun? There are still very few good pictures of that color available.

I plan to soon. I'm traveling for a bit, so it may be a few days before I can get some nice pictures. My car is also dirty after its first week because of rain and storms we've had recently so I want to get it washed and cleaned up. I know a few others have EBC and might get to this before me.

I have some decent DSLR gear with a WhiBal gray/white reference cards that I want to use to help balance/correct the colors so you can get a true sense of the color without post-processing making it look unrealistic. The only unsatisfying part is that it won't look like it "pops" in the image, but you'll be getting the true sense of the color (assuming you have a half-decent monitor on your PC/laptop.

Here is one I took at the dealer with my iPhone, so it's not the best quality, but it will get you started. ;-) As you may be able to tell from the reflection in the window, it was overcast that day.

Default Neither

After having a B5 and B6 S4, the change with the B8 has enough rear bias for me, its a daily driver that I don't track.

And after trying the ADS, I came to the conclusion that I like the base setup best and wouldn't touch those settings ever again, not worth the money, for me anyway.

Default Thanks for the pics

It looks awesome.

I do wish the front plate frame wasn't so thick, but I'll have one as well since I live in Texas.
