Tinted tails cheapens the look of any car IMO. It looks great as is.

In most cases, I agree.

In this case on such a high contrast setup, it decolorizes and eliminates distraction, adding to the contrast two-tone effect. White, Black and a bit of Chrome.

badass!

btw, ur car looks sick too! given the colors of the surroundings, a little PS tweaking? still awesome tho

I don't agree. The red works as an accent on a black and white background which draws the eye into the color scheme.

Darkening the tails would make the whole look bland. Imagine all the walls of your house being white and all your furniture black with no accent colors. BORING!!

Don't like the chrome on white. I would prefer the black styling pack as below. Black grille/window surrounds/roof bars.

Yes i debadged myself. As far as tinted tails go ive never been a fan i cant do that to my cars. I dont think im blacking anyhing else out maybe the front splitter. I like the grille the way it is. Ive been there done that with the chrome trim, and grille blacked out. Had it done on my S4, and current A4. I dont want that hassle.

The VMR's look stellar. Did you research wheel weights before you made your decision?

ride height looks good...wheels in black not so much. Hard to tell where the wheel stops and the tire starts. Definitely not my cup o tea.
A4, OTOH, looks sweet!
