Emblems parts:
Black SQ5 Emblem, Front 80A071805 (grille badge)

AUDI SIGN. Emblem. (front rings) Part Number: 80A853605CT94

If you want OEM and save a few bucks you can order them through https://www.e-acca.com/

For the rings they either come in a set or separately you will need to double check what they have available when ordering.

These were exactly what I bought.

Paint correction and ceramic with a 3yr warranty is going to be $1,100. I got another quote at $1,300 but ended up choosing based on examples of paint corrections from each. The guy I'm going with is a one man show compared to a bigger detailer and I got a direct referral based on someone who had used him so looking forward to it.

OP - Great looking ride! Where in ME are you located? I've been looking at possibly getting a Quantum Gray SQ5 as well, but haven't seen one in person to tell if I really like the color or not. I'm just over the border in southern NH. I'd love to be able to check out yours to actually see one in the flesh.

Installed a Stealth Hitch towing setup today for my utility trailer. I still need to finish the wiring inside the trunk tomorrow but the hard work is done and it's back together.

Last thing planned for this is wheels in the spring.

I'm around the Portsmouth area, hopefully you picked one up!

Looks amazing! Any tips how to take it off? Currently on vacation and that looks like great small project.

This guide shows you how to remove the outer piece, then removing the actual piece to be wrapped is pretty straightforward. Good luck!

Have you decided on the wheels yet?

Love the stealth hitch! Didn't know that was a thing. Just what I need for the bike rack.

Also love the old school skis with the run-away straps. Reminds me of the ones I had when I was 12!

I'm thinking BC Forged RS40 in Matte Bronze.

These two cars have been my inspiration for the build and what made me go quantum grey. I'm thinking of meshing the wheel selection and stance from DonVitalli's with the matte bronze color from Brandon's. Its been on my list for a while but need to get a few other things in place before I drop the $6k for wheels and new tires! Also running down the tread on my factory tires so it doesn't hurt so bad.
