    Well time to dip then!

    Anyone dip and then paint on top of the dip to make it more shiny and less matte? I figure you could just remove if too shiny.

    Do you mean put a clear on top of the plastidip? I've seen that done many times.

    I would say he had some trouble getting it to pop off. Definitely wouldn't say it was difficult but he didn't make it look easy either lol

    Post pics of install!

    Is that a wrap or real CF?

    It's real carbon fiber wrapped over the original valence.

    Anything is possible, if you have a good bodyshop. I'm told the mounting points are different between the pre and post facelift models, so it's not a plug & play option.

    I've been wanting to install the facelift RS7 valance onto my facelift S7. Anyone done that swap?

    I just ordered the entire facelift for rear S7 (dynamic taillight and bumper assembly. The option of the RS7 was there, but I kind of like the S7 look better. More assertive than pre-facelift and less aggressive of the RS7

    You don't need the bumper to fit the FL rear lights..... Just saying

    Right... I originally wanted the back end of the facelift and the seen the lights and figured I would just do it all at once.

    Cool. It will be interesting to see how you proceed, and what parts are interchangeable between pre and post facelift.

    Don't forget to photograph everything
