As the title says,
Going to debadge the car, was also thinking to maybe remove the rings for a clean look .. just thinking that may be a little much .. or maybe paint the rings to match the black body color of the car ... not sure ... decisions decisions ...
Also going to remove all the chrome trim and get it body painted to match the body color .. was wondering if anyone here has done this and if there is any special instructions I need to give the body shop ...

If you think it will look better without the rings, go for it. It would be interesting to see what the ccar would look like with blacked out window trim like a BMW sport option.

Go to a sign store and have them cut you a few rolls of the gloss black vinyl they use on outdoor signs. You can apply it to the chrome trim and get used to it for a while. If you hate it, it strips off with a heat gun.

Hmmm .. interesting option ... may just bite the bullet and get it done though .. sounds like a headache and a half to deal with removing the trim and hope it gets back into place, especially with a film on top of it

I recently upgraded the company to CS. I didn't see much of a difference in Photoshop, but Indesign KILLS!!! <It actually killed Quark!!>
You might remember that before I bought my '06 A8L I asked about the Phaeton and you were kind enough to give me some info (my friend has a Phaeton and is quite happy with it)...and the (then)new nose on the Audi was actually factored into my choice. I asked the local VW dealer if the Phaeton was going to change for '06 (like you pic) and he didn't know. Geezz..all I would have had to do was give it my graphics design guy and I might have owned an Audi.

I use something called "Paint". I recently learned how to cut and paste and resize. Very hard to find two cars with the same viewpoint. I hope to graduate to Photoshopp soon. :-)

very little pixel differentiation at merge points.
