I am still waiting for my baby Q7.

I love my Maserati GT Sport but I have ordered a 2017 Ferrari 488. What is why I have to trade it early to lock the value. hahaha. After I order the Q7, I immediately trade it to the Audi first.

Is the black optic material the same as the black material the door's pillars are made of?
If so, how hard is it to keep intact?
Reason I ask is due to the water spots I have found on ours that are impossible to take off and as soon as you try to clean them they get scuff marks on them even when using a micro fiber rag. I was pretty amazed. Same goes for the black pillars on the right and left of the back hatch windows.

WOW! A 488, now that's a car. I had a GT3 for a few months. I was planning on selling the 4S but wanted to make sure the GT3 was as drivable first. I found out it wasn't, the GT3 was an amazing machine but just didn't fit my needs. I love driving the 4S (it's a stick) so I kept it. Congrats on the 488, that's an amazing car for sure.

Hard to tell if it's the same material to be honest. It feels like the same material that the regular trim is made out of. I can't tell if that the same material as the pillars. It is a shine black.

Regarding maintenance, I hear you. It's one of the reason I'm not a fan of black. My car will be getting a nano coating, probably cquartz finest, which will help. I also Invested in one of these:

Which does wonders if you don't mind washing your own car. Here's a tip I've discovered the hard way, if you get one of these be sure to remove the cartridges after using them and let them dry in the sun. Otherwise they'll grow mold and stop working. I've also purchase a foam gun and an a air blaster. I know, I know it's nuts but it does work.

Default White V graphite grey with black optic

Does the black optic contrast stand out on graphite grey? Deciding what to get and like contrast on white, but partial to the graphite grey. Ordering tomorrow and keep going back and forth.

I'm not sure I'd say it the black trim stands out on graphite grey, it's more like it complements it. This is my second car with the black/grey combo so I like it. Good luck with your choice.

Would be nice if you have the sports tailpipe trims with black optic package:

Description: Striking and sporty design. The sports tailpipe trims accentuate the dynamic character of your Audi. Black chrome-plated stainless steel provides an elegant appearance in perfect harmony with the rear apron.
