Are you dead set on red? If you would consider another color post a good side shot and I'll chop it for ya. Yellow/blkS, Silver/blueS...

You're too kind Turboale! I'll upload a good side shot this weekend when she's home - don't want to go too nuts, but blue body color gives good contrast opportunity. Porsche yellow, BMW gold... Not looking to be flashy here, just offset nicely, esp with the large front calipers.

Unfortunately my wife <wrongly> thinks white looks like a base model, UN vehicle option...

Did you do the calipers yourself? I'm rather handy, and Q7 doesn't look too fiddly as there is a lot of space under those arches.
No I’m not that handy, I had a local shop do it.

I think Porsche yellow would look killer on the blue...

I have a PYellow g2 kit waiting for me in the garage. One of these days when we don't need both cars.

She’s home! Loving the Navarra blue, really pops a range of colors in different light.

The alu trim is actually growing on me against the blue, so may just see how blacking out the optics looks on photoshop first. Likewise with smoking the lights - the blue/red/silver just looks really good…

Has anyone tried different ways to eliminate the Orange wedge in the light cluster?

take the headlights out, bake them open, and paint the reflector. not worth it IMHO. playing with fire especially on a brand new car.

exactly, so you know the deal. and they are $2700 a headlight so that is a no-go for me in terms of messing with them.
