My concern is that they're waiting for us to contact them to express interest and we're all just sitting here waiting for news because we think the parts are coming for sure.

Why are we assuming these aren't coming to the USA? My Canadian dealership was confident in telling me they will be available here in Canada, but perhaps they are assuming. Does anyone know for sure? I'm basically buying the entire kit if it comes here.

Wonder if these parts will be purchase-able separately? I'd go for wheels, and the front end stuff (air inlets, not dive planes). Not sure about the side skirts, and nor rear... Or is it all-or-nothing?
I did notice "For the TT coupés with quattro drive, the retrofit range includes a cross-member reinforcement bar on the rear axle. It improves rigidity and makes handling even more precise. Audi TT RS owners can also subsequently increase their car’s top speed to 280 km/h (174.0 mph)."
Buy speed anyone? :-)

It would make sense if they offered it as a package, in the same way as the "track" package in the US, but I hope it's mix and match. I feel like there are pieces of this kit that most people probably wouldn't choose and being part of a package would be Audi's way of ensuring they get sold.
Personally, I like the hood vent, vent scoops, wheels, spoiler, the brace, and maybe the exhaust. The canards would probably be necessary with the addition of the spoiler to prevent upsetting the balance at speed. The rest of the ground effects I feel would just cause too many clearance problems. The wheels I would really prefer in a 19" rather than 20".
That said, if this is only sold as a kit and it's $70k-ish, that's well out of my price range.

Previously “CALE262”
Essentially the full kit installed doubles the price...This is going to hurt me in some way, either in the pocket book or the wife taking an axe to me in my sleep. I would love to have the wheels, the lower aero bits and the hood, I wonder how much that would set me back.
