What color is this? Quartz? Daytona? It doesn't look like Meteor.

That be Daytona Gray Pearl. They used Daytona on all their debut 5's. Striking under that light isn't it?

I figured it must be Daytona. It certainly is striking, but seeing that makes me even more mad about the US spec headlights which will pollute that clean look with ugly orange turn-signals.

You gotta love the US Department of Transportation sometimes... Not only did they mess up the whole front end look with the stupid amber strip, they decide to disable daytime running lamps when the blinkers are on. That only makes it worse for safety because now people who drive Audi's basically never signal when changing lanes!!! Vag-com can save you, but that's another story.

Yeah, I have a long list of things to do to this car when I get it and VAG-COM is at the top:
  • Enable DRLs during turn signal
  • Disable seatbelt chime
  • Enable DVD video while in motion (for passengers)

Any other common/major things I should add?

Yea, buy a set of Ecodes and save yourself the trouble because most likely you'll get it later anyway... There's a group buy going on for them right now from Europrice. Alex might be closing this deal soon, so you might want to get in touch with him if interested.
