^ I think that's what he meant with Alum.
( You're the mirrors expert though [>_<] )

The brushed are the most popular, guess because whats on the S and are kinda unique in the industry but I couldn't fall for them. I have the chrome ones and I am very happy, but with a black car they might "pop" too much. Guess it comes down two what kind of statement your trying to make. On a black car I would imagine that blacking out the chrome accents and putting on the brushed caps would look real "slick."

Since I'm not into making people think that my car is something it isn't, I'd go with neither.

Whatever [rolleyes].
I'd go for the brush alum (matte) ones; oh wait, that's what I already went for! [:p].

He asked for an opinion, don't get all butthurt over it. You don't drive an S4 or an RS4.

They are on ebay. Search audi mirror caps. I'm not trying to get my car to look like a s4 or rs4 but am just lookin for a better look. If anyone has pics of their setup please post.

Butthurt? WTF!. Your ride, my ride, his ride, their ride...... oh yeah, and i don't think he was asking for cocky statements.

Does that mean I have to give back my RS4 rear sway bar??? [>_>]
That's such a dickhead statement.

He asked for an opinion on what to do and I gave one, along with my reasoning behind it. You don't like it, tough shit.

That's such a dickhead statement.
Your beefier sway beer reduces understeer and increases handling capabilities. It doesn't make people think your A4 is an S4.
You guys need to stop getting your freakin' panties in a wad. It's like your 15years old and simply don't get it. My statement was "Since I'm not into making people think my car is something that it isn't".
Is someone is going to identify my performance enhancing sway bar and say "Holy shit is that an RS4?" No. But when I slap on some brushed aluminum mirror housings, a noticeable feature that clearly distinguishes an A4 from an S or RS4, then it is a little different. Again, not much different from throwing a Type-R badge on your base model Civic.

Blacking out chrome doesn't make anyone think my car is not an A4. This is pretty simple here. The titanium package was a simple appearance package in the A4 line. It was not a marker of an enhanced performance model. Chrome trim= A4. Black trim=A4. Brushed mirrors= S4 RS4. Body color mirrors= A4.
Comprehension. It's a wonderful skill to have.
Keep them coming if you'd like!

^^ Get those.
I have them too b/c I LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK, not b/c I'm trying to sell my car as something its not.
It's not like we're putting the S4 badge on or bragging about having an S at stop lights.

You are arguing an opinion! Your OPINION is that chrome mirror covers make the car look like an S/RS. Comprehension I got but a dick head ego like yours I don't. Oh and since your car didn't come from the factory with that APR badge you've referenced in the past then maybe the world will think its an APR and not an Audi.
To the OP, TX-A4's looks great, the mirror covers bring the front end to life..............even though its posing as an RS4

Wow! What did I start? Thanks for all the replies. I probably will end up getting the matte aluminum ones. I do want to black out the trim eventually but thats gonna have to wait.
Chrome.
It accents all the rest of the chrome on the front end perfectly.
But WTF do I know right? [:p]

Exactly, it is my opinion. Why you feel the need to somehow invalidate that is beyond me. No ego here chief, just stating my given right to an opinion. Some people don't seem to like that however.
And my car is tuned by APR. Clearly you still aren't getting the point I was making. If you were, you wouldn't keep trying to make invalid arguments. Nowhere did I say that if it didn't come from the factory a certain way then it is ricey. My opinion is that representing an enhanced performance class of car on a lower class of car is distatsteful to me. Got it yet?
Anyways, do what you like to your car. However when you ask for peoples opinion on something, don't be such a douche when they give you an opinion that you don't agree with.
