I loved the car...and still do. But I have 3 Dobermans and a standard poodle, and occasionally do Doberman rescue work needing to transport several...so simply needed a bigger car.
We now have a 21 Q7 Prestige and 23 Q7 Prestige.
Here's the new ride, already have a build thread going. lol

I ended up just buying 22" RSQ8 reps and new Pilot Sport AS non runflat. Wanted it easy breezy.
I still have the RS6 spoiler for sale if you want to upgrade. I paid 900 for it. Had it wrapped gloss black, and was not installed as i had then sent it out for paint. but then traded the car. :/

Hey Parkstr8, your mods are off the charts! So awesome - I'm envious, and even though I don't have your mods budget, I am gonna' steal a few ideas (at least that set of three rear cargo sunshades for sure!).
I was wondering if you've ever considered adding the adjustable valvetronic exhaust system from the RS6 (and maybe offered on the S6 as well?). I kind of miss the tailpipes (now hidden) on my new A6 Allroad, and - even though I love the incredible quiet of the car - I sometimes yearn for some of that occasional performance engine exhaust growl. Being able to dial the noise up or down would be cool!
RE exhaust - I really love tail pipes, and exhausts in general. I found the A6 tough as their are really no good options (at least that I could find) that would fit, not void warranty, and had a rear lower valence that worked. I don't think anything engine/exhaust on the RS6 work for the A6.
1 or 2 others bought the Karbel Carbon rear diffuser and then modded the exhaust for tips...but it was mainly cosmetic. And its pricey, and you have to cut to install.
I also didn't want to mess with anything that could affect the warranty until it was closer to ending...which will never happen now. lol

Jeez $1300 seems a pretty high price compared to what a used set will run you off ebay.
Unfortunately the electrochromic (auto-dimming) mirror glasses command a hefty premium over their standard counterparts. These can be typically found second hand for quite a bit cheaper, however for new these are a bit more expensive.
For reference, the auto-dimming, non aspherical mirror glasses retail at ~$1450 for the pair, from Audi, at the time of writing.
