PS. Not my ride but I remember when I saw it for the first time @ the Tower Shops meet (FL) it got crazy, the car looked quite intimidating in person.
It actually looks pretty clean. I love matte finishes.
Is that blue tint on the headlight (not a fan)? or is it just a reflection?

Reflection/PS filter etc.

Approved! Love how the grey follows the hood line down the grill front. Usually not a fan of the dual colors but this really looks great! I also like the white painted mirror molding! Looks better than the black plastic.

I'm gonna say it:
Its ok. It needs something else, tie it together, I think. Not sure. Did you do the trunk lid? Just asking.
I wonder what would happen if you grey-wrapped the top portion of the mirrors only, leaving the bottom white. not sure if too ridiculous or just right.

Yes. The lid has the gun metal paint as the front.

Car would look amazing, without the reverse 'skunk' look. Love the wheels.....just looks too Honda Civic tuner for me.

20. Don't remember the wheels brand. The wheel specialist on Azine I am sure would recognize them though :)
I think it's great, but I agree with John... it's just missing something. I think the matte gray against the shiny grill trim is clashing for me. Perhaps some black trim around the grille (a la Titanium package) or an RS4 grill would solve this..? Your thoughts?

I was thinking about this as well, my only concern is that it may get too dark with the TI color scheme IMO.
Fair enough, but if the trim matched the hue/darkness of your wheels, I'd have it's babies.

Looks good. The lines match up and make sense. Titanium / matte grill might look good.

I do like the way it looks, don't get me wrong. I just think it looks like it's trying too hard to stand out. Subtly ensues.......

Looks pretty good but I don't remember seeing that car at Caloosa Park. Are these pics from before we had the meet there last winter? Whose car is that?

That looks fucking retarded, especially with the chrome trim on the grille.
I just like the photogenic location. Nothing says classy like some woods near a trailer park.
^ speaking of subtly [rolleyes]

I guess you thought that making that comment was relevant and important :)
The park actually is quite nice. Regardless of its surroundings.

It was long time ago. Back when the meets @ the park ware happening every other week basically. I think he installed Nitros and tons of other mods since then but I have not talked to him in a very long time.

LOL wouldn't have even noticed that
I think the car actually looks pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of that look, as others said maybe trying too hard to stand out, but this actually looks pretty clean. I wouldn't want to drive it, but I can appreciate it for sure.

I'm a fan of this look on this car. What "does it" for me is the fact that the paint continues all the way down below the grille, but NOT to the trim just below the grille, a subtle, but noticeable accent in my mind. I do agree though that it would look more consistent and flow a bit better if the grille we somehow modified to match it a bit better. I'd like to see what it would look like with the entire grille painted the same gun metal color and finish with the audi rings painted white to match the car? Might look pretty slick like that.

That was the point of my post ... As I said it is not my car but I wanted to see what is the overall take from the community.
Not every day you see a custom pain job like this on B8 S4 etc. Quite some effort went into making the car look like this and in person the car was a hit @ all of the meets it went.
