On Order: Q5 TDI (Finally!)
After many years of drooling over the Q5, my wife and I finally pulled the trigger this weekend. We ordered a TDI Premium Plus in Brilliant Black with MMI, Sport Interior, S-Line+ and B&O audio. With the supplier discount and loyalty rebate, I'm feeling good about the final price.
And now I must endure 12 long weeks of waiting...
Between now and then, I plan on identifying the most effective protection for the scratch-illuminating paint. I've seen a few threads on the subject, so I have some reading to do.
I'm also curious to know if anyone out there can recommend a manufacturer of genuine carbon fiber parts to replace the interior aluminum accents. What can I say...I'm a sucker for carbon fiber (so long as it's genuine and well made).
I've been a lurker here for quite some time. Thanks for all of the great forum posts that helped us make our final decision.

Congrats, that will look mean!
I think ocarbon.com did them for the Q5, but I don't see it on their site. Shoot them an email to find out.
Similar Q7 for reference:

Oh, wow! That Q7 image just got me even more excited about our purchase! I've never seen our specific configuration outside of the Audi.com rendering. That Q7 is beautiful! And I love the touch of red on the side (S-Line logo). Now I'm even more impatient!

Thanks, everyone. We're very excited. This is the first new car either one of us has ever purchased. We're a one-car couple living in Boston. Our 2003 A4 has served us well (we bought it pre-owned in 2004), but we'll be trading it in once the Q5 arrives.
I'll check out oCarbon (are they known for quality craftsmanship?) and the 3M films. I think I've seen some others mentioned in these forums, but I haven't had the time to browse yet.
