Ha! I thought it was a vent too :-)

Nice job! Like your upgrades!

Wow, everything coming together very clean! Nice work.

Do you have a link to where you bought the carbon fiber vinyl?

**poweredbyaudi7** · 05-08-2016 10:39 PM

Wow, so you used epoxy and all? That is pretty damn nice! Looks amazing!

That explains why they look so good... Nicely done! Both on the trim and the rest of the project.

Wow, beautiful work on the trim! I love your attention to detail!

Hmmm, tell me more about this process...

The carbon fiber inlays are drop dead sexy. I was in an Audi with them recently and they're a really nice touch. Your wheels look brand new!

Who is gonna hate on those? They look good and more important, no one will really see them but you. Btw, I have Solowerks and they are perfect for me. Not sure what the negative feedback is about. I don't track my AR.

There's a common theme in your posts. Nobody is hating on you or your car.

You should check out B8Nate's build. He gets hammered but stays positive about his build. Some of us like a little diversity with the B8's. I don't think you're doing anything considered ghetto or rice, so I don't think you have to worry. Even if you did, F 'em.

Re: tires, that is crazy that you only get that stretch on 10's. I have 255/35 on 9's and I get about that much stretch. All tires are not equal I guess.

Amazing job on the carbon! Looks stunning. As for the grill, I did the exact same process on my old GTI grill to fill the plate holes. Epoxy some plastic on the back side, filler, sand, then PlastiDip... works great!

I like that you're taking a real world, budgeted approach to your mods. Respect for being creative. In the Audi community it seems like things are usually just bought, but I like seeing things built. Props to you sir!
