Anyone do any appearance mods to their A8 that they really like?

Those sound like some awesome mod's. Especially painting the calipers. I've already have the window tint. Looks a little darker than 20%. I suppose the police would have let it be known if too dark

Lowered a bit with H&R module. Probably going to sell that and go a different route though.
Keep debating between 21 and 22" wheels because the roads around here are not that great. Either a forged monobloc or two piece wheel.

So you're making it look like an S8. Gotta be honest, kind of look down on that. I can appreciate wanting the front bumper or exhaust, but copying the coloring of the S8 is just barely shy of putting the S8 badges on it or removing the A8 badging you have. Most who know the car will probably catch it, and let's just say those cars hold a special place in our hearts.
Like this guy, coolest car on the road, in his own mind. Everyone else in the know just raises an eyebrow or shakes their head.

I'm okay with that. It's true, after all. I'm trying to angle so I can get a proper S8 within the next year. If it's within my budget, I'll get one. Really depends on how much my house sells for. I'd like to take off the V8T and S8 badging. Looks cleaner to me.

Well I already did the mirrors and calipers as that pic above is mine.. I like the look but I would never add the s8 badge that's silly.. check out this bumper lip in the same silver matte metallic, debating if I should do it. Any thoughts?

I like the look, can you share part#, pricing and vendor information?

I found a local shop that does customs & wraps in the Chicagoland area. They provided all the parts. For the brakes and mirrors it was only $250! Pretty good value imo, it's held up for 6 months and through the snow and ice.
