Bought these from AZ forum member. He bought them from Europe as they get the RS6 that has carbon option. But he sold his S6 before even installing them. His loss, my gain. Paid $1500 for entire mirror (not just caps). He paid well north of $3K. Might be a bit much, but don't know of any other options at this time. Certainly won't see any other S6s with these (don't see any around where I live anyway).

Not a fan of ABT's carbon front fascia add-ons. Would like to find splitter, diffuser, and intake at some point. I agree, NEED MORE CARBON. Wish they had an exterior carbon package for S6.

I'll take more pix of the car once it warms up enough to mount the HREs. I also lowered it with the H&R module this week.
Hey can you take a few closer pics? Around the mirror and blind spot detector? Thinking about picking a set up. Just wanna see fit and finish before I pull the trigger. Thanks

I'll try and get more pix tonight after work. I can say you don't have to worry about fit and finish, they look amazing.

Absolutely agree. I just can't believe there aren't more options in the market yet. I know that Brinks Motor Sports is working with an Audi S7 owner on a carbon intake but that is about it.

Here are some more pix. No need to worry about fit and finish. They're just like normal mirrors but with carbon fiber. Nice clear coat over top.

These look so awesome. Well done!! Do they have the heated and power fold functions?

With regard to CF lips and diffusers, maybe we can try and contact DEVAL or some other company with a bunch of ppl interested so they can make them already. I am picking up my S6 in a few days and I want the front and rear spoilers in CF like I had on my B8 S4.

They do have power folding and heating functions. However, Audi screwed up my order so I don't have side assist or power folding on my car. Heating is standard. I can't add these features without more hardware so for me, it's not worth it.
