That's cool. It's all what makes you happy. If you ever see a 2018 Daytona Gray Pearl RS5 Coupe with the B.O.P. I think you'll be amazed in person at the nuanced details brought to the car through this package. Can't describe any further, it just has to be seen.

Looks even better in Canada, where we get the Carbon Fiber and Black package. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

There's plenty you can do with a Daytona Grey B9 cosmetically.
Window tint, RS style grille, and wheels are a few.
You can also get carbon fiber mirrors and spoiler.

Here's my Navarra Blue S5 for example.

@ BreedsAs — Whose RS style Grille did you use and, most importantly, did you have any issues with the front sensors or camera? That Grille absolutely gives the S5 such a classy & distinctive look.

Me and member Quattrings were the first two members to get the RS style grilles. Basically the guinea pigs when it came to installing them.
We both got the grille that has the lower piece section that causes the parking sensors to be too high, thereby hitting the front impact bar.
It took various modifications to get it to fit, but definitely worth it. I detailed those mods in my first build thread.

For those with the front camera, the style grille I have is the only option as the 2nd generation redesigned grilles do not have the provision from what I have seen.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Love the blacked out front grille-especially taking the Audi rings to black. Great wheels also! Nicely done.

An example of what replacing rear Audi chrome rings and RS-5 badge with black looks like. Also, a pic with the gray exhaust bladders painted black, making them virtually disappear from a rear view.

That does really look nice on your car. Is that Daytona Grey as your color?

Yes. 2018 RS-5 Coupe. You'll notice on your S5 that the color will change depending on the lighting-the incandescent pearl overcoat. Can go from charcoal, to silver to battleship to deep blue/green.....a very cool color, though it does show dust.

I keep a bottle of Griot Garage "Speed Shine" and a couple of microfiber towels under my passenger seat. Takes 5-10 minutes to give the car a quick clean, no matter where you are. Doesn't take a lot of effort to "buff"-just spray and wipe off.

Where did you get your black bits? I'll be wanting a set for my RS5 once it arrives.
