If anyone needs a Los Angeles area recommendation, these guys are amazing: http://uniqueautofilms.com/

They will do trims, grilles or entire cars. Anyone can get the gloss black (or matte black, or any number of other colors) treatment done to their A6 or S6 that wants it. They would just wrap your existing grille and chrome trim around the doors.

They did a friend's X6. Stunning work.

Will see about that tomorrow morning if I have some time.

Have a look at this....

The reason I ask is that I might have a source who can get the OEM parts at a greatly discounted rate compared to the Audi dealer. I just need the Audi part number.


Edit: That page says the trim is matte black, but the Black Optics pkg is in gloss black. I wonder if it is legit parts?

Here is a complete list of the "Black Optics" parts from an Audi parts desk, including wheels, trim etc. Per my posts earlier, I am ONLY going w/ the grill.

BTW: The grill listed here INCLUDES the innovation package (camera, night vision, parking sensors, etc). There is another grill w/o those parts.

I ended up negotiating 20% off this price.

This is the future of car finishes. Why even use paint? Seriously, these finishes have all the characteristics of fresh paint will 1000X the durability.

Any chance we can find the part number for the front grille without the camera and night vision? My grille only has the parking sensors but no cameras.

I found a merchant who can get the Black Optics grille from Germany for $850 + $50 shipping. I believe this is the price for the grille with the cameras. (I used the part number in your picture above) I'm waiting for a message back to confirm if the $850 price is with or without camera. Will report back ASAP.

Edit: Merchant said yes, it was the grill with the camera. Same part number listed above.

Has anyone seen this on eBay?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190885912438...S:1123&vxp=mtr

I don't think it is a genuine Audi part, but obviously the price is great. Hard for me to tell from the picture if it will look right, or will look like cheap crap.
