Check out this mock-up...gotta love photoshop
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/92875/blacktop_copy.jpg"></center><p>Exterior Mods to come:
3.2 Telson Add-on
3.2 Valence
Tinted Taillights
Black Painted Roof Center, Mirrors, and Door Handles
1.5" lowering springs (camber kit, of course)
Red Painted Calipers
25mm rear spacers, 15mm front spacers
Clear Corner Headlights, Anthracite Headlight Housings
Audi Ring Decals (Actual design, not the bunk one shown)
The black on the factory side skirts will be a handmade fiberglass mold with Line-X to keep down on the foot scratches and dents.
Picture this with the PPI fishmouth grille and the RISO V1 fenders, and 20% tint...
Oh how I long for time and money....

You need to make the rings on the side larger like the Audi race cars
And drop the black sills, or do something different there. Roof is doable but I think it's been mentioned before that it looks better at some angles then others.

Really not feeling several aspects of that. But it's your car, and your call.
Why not do the whole top of the car? I think it looks awkward with the black stripe down the middle.
Also, why make the door handles stick out like that? I think those would look very odd painted as you have them.
And I really don't understand the black rocker panels...
I feel like you'd need to do some blacking on the front facia to make it feel congruent to the whole car if you're dead set on going the way you've described.

Yes. I still don't entirely understand the black rocker panel, though...
And I agree with Trent that the rings should be bigger if they're going to be there.
I imagine you'll be smoking the taillights as well...
What parts of the PPI kit will be black?
I can definitely see where you're going, I just don't know if it's going to be where you want to be. ;-)
Oh, and have you checked out some of Raffi's photoshops? A lot of his look similar to your plans, I think.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoaesthetics.com/my-tt-v1.0/pages/05-photoshop/photoshop-page-02.html">Check it out.</a></li></ul>

I may go with bigger rings...>>>
Definitely smoking the tails, and with the PPI kit, obviously the black grille will be much larger, but I'll probably also black out the headlight washers...I'll have to play around with one in pshop to decide for sure. As far as the black side panel, I want it there for both form and function. I like body kits and all, but they just make the car impractical, so I wanna do something that hasn't really been done before, and I want it to stick out. So I was looking at the stock side skirts and noticed something that I had not seen before. First, there was a big dent where someone obviously kicked it or something on the passenger side, and there were small scratches from shoes on both the driver and passenger side. Now, I know I'm very careful getting out of the car at all times, but they still showed up somehow. So that got my brain going...Why not have that section Line-X'd? Should be fairly simple. The door allows about 1/8" clearance where it closes, so I can just make a thin fiberglass form in the shape from the pics, run it over to the Line-X man, and have it done in the smoothest spray pattern that they have. Dunno how the finish will look for sure, but it's a fairly cheap project, and beats the hell out of side skirts.
