Looks great. Do you mind saying how much the coating and clear bra cost to have done? Considering these for my 2018 Mythos Black Prestige .
It certainly wasn't cheap because I went top-of-the-line on all of it. The full-frontal clear bra was about $1500 for the XPel Ultimate film and the Opti-Coat Pro Plus was about $1200. If you don't go for the Pro Plus version, it's only about $800, but it's not nearly as glossy. The Pro Plus also protects better than the Pro, but I can't quantify it over the regular Opti-Coat Pro. The tinting was the cheapest of the bunch, about $500 for all the windows including the sunroof and the top 6" of the windshield (law only allows top 6") for XPel XR film.
One other thing. The Opti-Coat Pro Plus has a 7 year warranty. The Opti-Coat Pro has only a 5 year warranty. But unlike competitors like Ceramic Pro, you don't have to refresh the coating. It'll most likely last the life of the car if you take decent care of it.

I've found mine to be darker than expected, unless there's an insane amount of sunlight shining on it...
Here's another slightly larger pic I took in my own driveway right after getting home from the detailer's house, taken with an iPhone 7 Plus. You can see where the trees are blocking the sun and areas around the back with more direct sunlight. At this point it was about 10AM on a normal partly cloudy day.
Center panel was too gray and dingy. Just a border around the lighting controls. Something for the back. Found some OEM puddle lights, so I put them on the back doors, too.
Can I ask where you purchased the center console and lighting control covers?

I tried to put covers on the seat adjustment controls, but the ones that claim Audi A4 2016-2017 compatibility DO NOT WORK with the 2018. The controls for the 2018 are slightly pointier than prior models and will not fit. I've notice none of the eBay items claim 2018 compatibility, but then again I haven't seen anything claim 2018 compatibility, even if they work. Fortunately, the vendor gave me a prompt refund.

Yup, that's roughly what my car looks like most of the time. I have a photo I took one day of my car parked next to a B8 Scuba Blue allroad, and both looked dark...
I note that your car has the same rims as mine. I'll never figure out how they move the rim styles around between countries, trims and years...

Your A4 looks incredible. And if you intend on keeping your car a while, as I imagine you may, you'll appreciate your coating all the more. I really like the trim work you did. How involved is it?

It isn't hard at all. Just about everything I did was basically ripping 3M tape off of the backs and sticking them on. The hardest one was installing the Neuspeed Power Module which was also easy.
