Default 2 yrs, 4 months later - I still like it ...

Hides dirt really well, which is perfect for a lazy a$$bag like me.

However, it is no longer invisible to the police for some reason. Perhaps the special stealth coating has worn off...

They must have done the math about the weight savings from lack of paint...

Default One of my prerequisites for my next TT (or maybe RSR :) is that I can get it in aviator grey

It changes quite a bit based on light conditions, always looks good tho It does hide dirt and swirl marks quite well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.boozebags.com/jwiegert/audi/mytt/">Some pics</a></li></ul>

I wish I had gotten it. Looked very flat in pics so I passed.

Default A labor of love :)

<center><img src="http://www.boozebags.com/jwiegert/audi/mytt/033002/105-0596_IMG.JPG"></center><p>It had just been cleaned in that pic so that helps. I wash pretty much weekly, at least when the weather cooperates. It has 3 coats of P21S wax on it in that shot as well. I also clean the wheels at least twice a week to keep all the brake dust off. A full wash and wax only takes about an hour and a half so that's not too bad.

Here's a closeup reflection shot. Not nearly as good as a dark color would be but not bad considering its a light shade of grey.

I've had mine since December, 1999.

I've only seen a handful of AG's in SoCal.

Depending on the time of day, the AG tends to give a different look/sparkle.
