Default Should I Make My A4 Back Optics ? (Poll)

I have had my B9 A4 for 2 months now and I can't fault it for any reason. it's an absolute dream. It's the 1.4L with no s line in ibis white. I am seriously thinking of getting my local dealership to add the black optics pack to my car but just can't decide. Ill include photos of my car so you can all help me choose what to do. My Range Rover sport had the black package on it so I don't know if I want to make my a4 match.

If you can and you're willing to pay, absolutely yes. I personally think it looks incredible with Ibis White. The contrast works really well.

The front and back looking good already, but in profile it looks a little portly. LoL.

I'd leave it alone.

I vote yes, but then again I'm biased.

Why do you care what others think? It is your car and do what you like. If I said no, would you not do it???

Whether you prefer black to chrome is a subjective thing for you and you alone to decide, but I think the real question you should be asking is, is it worth $_____ to make it black.

Your poll, and the fact that Audi gets away with charging for black optics at all when the per-trim-piece cost of black is probably pretty close to identical to chrome, is evidence enough that people like it. But think of it like this:

"Would I prefer, based on taste, to drink Starbucks every single day as opposed to the drip coffee I can make at home?" Yes, definitely.

"Do I like Starbucks $4-and-20mins-extra-on-my-commute-per-day better than the coffee I make at home?" My answer is no way, not worth it by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe yours is different.

I’m not an A4 owner but the only thing I like in the black optic pack is the perforated flat bottom steering wheel. I would rather not have any of the other stuff. Unfortunately that steering is only available with BO or sport plus.
