Thank you! But, yeah it totally changed the whole car for me without having to spend 2500-4000+ for new wheels and tires.
Grille for now will keep as is until more black aftermarket grilles come out. Tags is more than i want to spend right now. When I do the black on the window trim, I may have the out part of the grill that is chrome wrapped also. I don't mind the brushed aluminum on the mirror caps and on the majority of the grill.

Thank you! Yes here I was quoted literally for each piece individually and it was over $1200. I need to call the other dealership in my area to confirm, but with that price point, I don't mind leaving it as is lol.

Thank you! But, that's awesome! Going to be really nice to see the Cavo wheels powder coated black on yours! Please post pics when complete!

Looking online for equivalent knock offs way cheaper. Can find the grey ones but black seems to be harder. Would be nice to find ones in solid black with no chrome rings.

Center Caps I'd like to get gloss black as well. May stop in some shops to see if I can get some pricing to have them gloss black and keep the audi logo chrome/silver. Seems like that'd be a lot of work though? Would hope to just find them online already done though, but haven't had a chance to look around. WOW! Per cap at US thats about $99 here and that's how much it cost me to powder coat each wheel, so that's too much for me lol. Don't mind the contrast that much.
