    Hello all.

    I just picked up a 17' S3 premium plus with tech package, virtual cockpit, sport suspension and sport wheels. I really wanted sport package but there were no colors available that I liked. Overall I love this car coming from IS350 and C250 though Lexus engine was very quiet comparing to C and A3. Still getting used to DSG, it's much different then automatic. Also, A3 with sport suspension is much more comfortable then Lexus and C with sport package.

    I'm looking for good price for S3 trunk lid spoiler and carbon fiber mirror shells but outside of questionable ebay quality, prices are just insane. Where do you guys buy your accessories?

    One thing that is disappointing is that audi did not paint rear portion of roof black to match pano sunroof. That would look excellent.

    My to-do list is:
    Tint
    Roof wrap
    S3 spoiler
    CF mirror shells
    Debadge

    Here are some pix when I was taking delivery...

    Congrats on the new purchase.... try Emmanuelle Designs for your carbon parts. They are high quality and prices are reasonable.

    Um that is not an S3 lol.......nice car though. 17 A3 look way sportier than 15/16. Sport suspension/wheels make a big difference also.

    I can't ebay the caps, I have side assist option which makes me wonder if there are any radars in the mirrors and it takes a special material for the cap not to block the signal. The oem CF cap is over $500 which is not something I'm willing to spend.

    BTW, is 2016 mirror same as 2017?

    I'm looking at your pictures and you have side assist. How much did you pay for your caps?

    Window tints on, headlight tints on, spoiler and caps on order. Winter shoes on, glad that rims from my C250 fit fine.

    Somehow I can't get myself to de-badge the trunk so I just added S-line badge for now.

    I'm loving this car, it was the right choice.

    Found it on ebay. It's a leather gap filler so you won't loose stuff between seats and console.
