"Black Bits."......
I love it!
Tag Motorsports has them, but they are very expensive (need someone with a "contractor" status to order for you). Carbon Genetics has this matte black RS5 badge:

The rings are gloss, but cannot tell the diff once they are on the car:

My installer said these were solid products. The 3M adhesive is great. He separated the 5 from the RS to match original chrome badge placement.

X2 but just for a set of the black Audi Rings. Not going to be a poser and put on RS 5 badging — that’s just tasteless IMO.

Sorry about that. My mistake. Did not mean to suggest the RS5 badge for you-was showing what I bought.
Here you go:

My bad....completely agree.

I don't believe in Black optics (so something like it) on dark colors. While it would be noticeable in light color, Black optics just get lost on dark colors. I believe that dark color needs a bit of sparkles to make it shine so I scrapped my initial plans to blackout/carbon fiber my Nivarra Blue.
I will definitely wrap the back portion of the roof gloss black to blend in with the black sunroof and may actually wrap the side mirrors in matte silver like the S5.
What do you guys think of a black stripe on the bottom ttom of the doors along the side?

What I found to be so surprising is the label on the bag containing the rings - shown above. They appear to be genuine Audi parts, for $29.99 and free Amazon Prime shipping. Delivery was 4 or 5 days from California.
Thank you KCTiger1983! Great find.

Thanks-I noticed the "VolkswagenAG" label-parent company of Audi. My rings came in several days, but the RS-5 badge was different. I am almost positive it came from China, and took several weeks. Just a heads up. Glad you like the rings. I think they look fantastic on the Daytona Gray Pearl!
