Thank you sir!

First of all, you are getting really butt hurt with comments over here. You have to grow a thicker skin if you are going to post your car pictures on forums.
Anyways, I like the VW a lot, blacked out black car with nice wheels looks good, but your gray S8 with black wheels and plastidipped trim and grille looks ricey as hell.
Oh, I am 29 btw

I was just thinking the same thing. My car is silver, so the contrast between the trim and body color is minimal, but is just enough to highlight some of the character lines of the car. Mr. Bally's car is a light tan color, and chrome accents looks quite good with that color. Personally, I prefer the blacked-out look for a black vehicle. A friend had done this to an old S4, and it looked really good.

BTW, I'm an old dude. I'm usually not a fan of lots of chrome, but like it when tastefully applied. I grew up in the Detroit area, and work in the auto industry, so cars are in my blood. What I really like about the A8 is that it is almost perfect from the factory, so I'm content to leave it stock. But I admire anyone who is passionate about their car and puts their time and energy into it, whether that's upgrading its appearance on the outside or enhancing the mechanicals and suspension on the inside to make it perform better. This caring about one's car seems to be a common thread among the members on this forum.

Traditional look with winter wheels.
Green not black. Love my Audi

I guess you didn't read my entire post. The black wheels are my winter setup, low maintenance. They are still on the car because it's still snowing here, I awoke to snow this morning as a matter of fact.

The plasti dip was done to see if I like the look, which I do, so now it will be professionally painted. Familiar with the term "measure twice cut once!"

I think its too much black, but I do see where you're going with it. Are you going to stay flat black or go with a gloss?

pearl2k

It's not black, it's anthracite with a glossifier top coat. It's almost a perfect match, now that I know I like the look I'm having it painted in Daytona gray.
