Default Picked up some v10 badges for blacking out tests...

I am going to see which I like better. This is just a test. The first I will do with plastidip spray to black the badge out. Then I am going to do one with high quality spray tint to give it a black chrome(hopefully) look. This would be transfered over(if it works well) To the brushed trim and mirrors. If it does look good I think tinting out the badges and trim would give a cool look, almost like a black optic package. I will post pics tonight or tommorrow.

actually I think the test will be on the rear rings because the v10 badges cost 20 more. I rather make a mistake on a cheaper part. haha

I think your car would look great with everything except the trim and mirrors blacked out. Your wheels are already black and I think keeping the brushed trim would add some subtle contrast. Your front chrome grill trim is the first thing I would black out on your car. Then the badges. Ill take macro shot so your can see what each paint looks like and make your decision.

With Black RS6 grill, your car will look like a car Darth Vader would drive!

You should rename yourself here to Darth Audimos! Lame I know...
