Maybe my Dinan S2 M5 and V10 Touareg look ricey or out of place without chrome as well? Or maybe you're just old and wise and have never had a sense of style? Chrome is outdated even the Harley riders out there have embraced that. There is nothing about chrome or putting an S8 grill on an A8 that says classy. Sometimes people just don't have what it takes when it comes to making things look good. Rather than always say you're older and wiser simply say you're older and don't want to accept it. There is nothing fashionable in your life so I wouldn't expect your car to be either. You may be wise but you're also dated, now go lay back down.
Anyways, I like the VW a lot, blacked out black car with nice wheels looks good, but your gray S8 with black wheels and plastidipped trim and grille looks ricey as hell.
Oh, I am 29 btw

BTW, I'm an old dude. I'm usually not a fan of lots of chrome, but like it when tastefully applied. I grew up in the Detroit area, and work in the auto industry, so cars are in my blood. What I really like about the A8 is that it is almost perfect from the factory, so I'm content to leave it stock. But I admire anyone who is passionate about their car and puts their time and energy into it, whether that's upgrading its appearance on the outside or enhancing the mechanicals and suspension on the inside to make it perform better. This caring about one's car seems to be a common thread among the members on this forum.

First of all, you are getting really butt hurt with comments over here. You have to grow a thicker skin if you are going to post your car pictures on forums.

The plasti dip was done to see if I like the look, which I do, so now it will be professionally painted. Familiar with the term "measure twice cut once!"

It's not black, it's anthracite with a glossifier top coat. It's almost a perfect match, now that I know I like the look I'm having it painted in Daytona gray.
