Thanks, VRC! As for the rings in front- I mean the 4 ring emblem in the grill; mine lights up so I assume everyone's does. For the ones blacking them out, I was wondering if they still light up and can you see it?

Ah ha. Now I understand. What you have is an aftermarket lighted ring setup and not and OEM option.

Really? I had no idea- I just thought they all did that! Well, it is peeling now...its probably got wires and such, what a pain that's going to be. I might just black it out, its not like I can see it anyways.

There are SO many reasons that the S8+ isn’t an RS car, not just the lack of oval exhaust. The biggest reason is that THIS is the RS 8 and Audi didn’t make it.




The S8+ is an S8+, and that’s really cool. Plus models are more rare than RS anyway. No need to pretend it’s something it isn’t.

I’m just about as much of a purest as can be and I’m pretty against badge engineering- I think a Plus badge would be cooler but I don’t think the RS badge is completely tasteless. It’s definitely much better than the M badges on 4-cylinder BMW or RS on an A4 that are seen so often. At the very least you applied it correctly. And not like:

Alright, alright, I have already purchased new S8 badging!

I for damn sure don't want to be in the same category as the pictures above, lol.

As you can tell, I'm no photog! You can see the peeling in the first image. It does look cool from 10 feet away, tho.
