Default Beautifully done...

... the tint looks great with the Black Optic package. Remember to give it 48 hours before rolling down the windows!! Did they cover the rear amplifier on the left hand side in the trunk? History of Audi's leaking there from the rear install water...

Best wishes

Eric

Yup. It's parked outside in the direct sunlight for the next couple days. Windows up.

The over the entire back deck with plastic during the install. Sun Control MN is great in the Minneapolis/ Twin Cities.

Good to know... in LA, since we never have rain :-(

Folks forget about issues of water intrusion and the mistakes around tint installations are legendary.

Enjoy your new car. I had to choose between the S6 and the RS5 and I went with the RS5 for the sunday runs in the canyons. My wife, Erin is now hooked on sport driving, so the only four-door she wanted to drive was the S4. With three daughters and a recent move, a third car was not in the cards.

For most applications, the S6 is the cream of the Audi crop!

Best wishes

Hey! I know where those guys are at. They're like a block from the Infiniti dealer where I got my last car. Maybe 15 minutes from my house.

How do you like the matte wrap? It looked REALLY thin as they were putting it on in the video. Does it offer the same protection as a full normal Xpel?

I love it. I figured we'll be seeing quite a few Sepang Blue S6s soon so I wanted to change it up for a little bit. It does offer the same protection as normal XPEL and the best part about the matte wrap is 1: You don't have to clean it as often and 2: It's really easy to clean.

No fear of scratching the paint since its a film. No regrets. I figured I'd keep it on for a few years, take it off and its a brand new car again.
