My car is brilliant black and i was considering painting the rear rings satin black.
i think it looks good on other cars because of the contrast but was wondering your guys' opinion
on how it would look on my brilliant black.
i'm getting the s4 door blades and rear trunk trim colormatched btw. and i know i need to lower it [>_<]
here are some dirty girl pics for reference:

Either shave it (clean IMO) or leave it (contrast is good). That's just my personal preference though.. I'm going to go ahead and assume most people will say to paint them black to match the front.

Really interesting and worth-opening-a-thread question you have...
Do you mod your car for yourself, or for others...?
Whatever happened to personal taste...?
Nothing personal here, just tired of reading threads like these...Then again I shouldnt read them, however B7 is getting lower and lower in termsl of technical discussions....Sad story...

Doctor Phil. Well, beats the point of most threads....`forums should just become a set of DIYs and Troubleshooting guides.
Sometimes, opinions or help with decisions matter.
I would say keep it chrome. Contrast is good. It would be nice to see the front chrome too......more OEM the better.

Well i didnt mean that, and u know it...Anyway, each can read my post as he likes....It was written with good intention, not just to hate...
If someone sees my posting, he would already know that by now...
A hint of chrome is sexy. leave it.

I think time and effort of painting the Audi logo black could be spent doing something else, IE painting calipers or something. just my .02 cents

YES... gotta match the front rings and the satin looks sick against the gloss trunk. Mine are semi-gloss black in front and back and it looks awesome imo

Completely shaving all the emblems makes the car look like it's some generic knockoff in a GTA game. Leave them chrome and bring the chrome back on the front rings... needs moar contrast.

Agreed. The chrome:black contrast on the rear looks really clean!

So did you just upgrade to a sline bumper and TI grill? Since you don't have anything else sline, I was just curious. And leave them chrome.

NEVER listen to hockenheim when it comes to modding/customizing your car... Unless you want it to look and go like stock.

Why, does the engine explode, or does it become any less audi...?

keep it as is or make it red along with the front rings IMO. I blacked out my rear and front rings but its different because I have an Ibis white.
