    Delivery in two weeks - accessory advice solicited

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So our Q7 is due in on the 20th and I'm coordinating the delivery details and have a few questions for you guys:

    -Clear Bra - What's everyone doing for clear-bra application these days? What's the coverage that should be expected, I mean that grille surround is huge, plastic and I imagine succeptible to pitting and chipping - they quoted me $1500 including door cups, edges and rear bumper, but don't know the brand or coverage details... advice here?

    -Floor Mats - I was told all cold-weather package cars come with the all weather mats which is unfortunately a waste of $200 for me since I am planning to get the weathertech floor liners for all 3 rows - any other mats I should consider?

    -Aftermarket hitch- our order didn't include the hitch which we just use for a bike rack anyway - anyone install aftermarket and have pics of their install (I believe the bumper cover will have to be cut out)? Was planning to buy from e-trailer & install myself... no electrical, just the hitch. Also, I was told (and couldn't find any documentation) that the new tow package is just a hitch and that it no longer included an additional oil cooler or any other mechanical changes - anyone know different?
    Looking forward to this new Q- thanks for your feedback!

    We are using OEM all weather mats for front two rows and weather tech in the back. Works great and looks great.

    I don't think Clear Bra is necessary, but if you want to spend the money, go for it!

    Mine came with both cloth and all weather mats. The all weather ones seem to work just fine. I'm in the middle of a 2 day snow storm, and they are working out well. I don't have anything for the trunk, but I don't think I can get one with all the equipment I'm hauling.

    I got the stock hitch, which is one of the production delays that made my car take 8 months.

    Having had paint protection and not, I need it for my sanity, I can't stand rock chips...
    The real draw for me with the weathertech is the 'hump cover' in row 2 - my kids and their friends adore constantly muddying that area up.

    Man, you are patient. 8 months - you must have really wanted something specific!
