Super easy to clean, especially coming from 788 BMW M wheels (look those up. A freaking nightmare to clean and boy did those 6 piston Brembos on 15.7 inch drilled rotors on the M2 kick up dust!).

Quote: Do you have window tint? If so what percentage is that?
Yes, the dealership tinted them (wish they hadn't because I would like them darker).

I'm not sure what percentage they are but probably 35%.

It looks good as is, more classy than dark tint

Exactly. Pat yourself on the back with that precision parking skill and creating the maximum possible gap between your car and the adjacent vehicle.

Got the LEMS emblem from Japan via BlackHawkJapan (legit).
Just need to wash the car before install.

I've seen people use painters tape to outline the old emblems, remove them, and use the tape to get the one ones lined up. Just have to remove the old residue without messing up the tape.

The new emblems don't go on individually by character, they go on as a set. However, they must be applied level with that crease in the trunk lid.

We definitely had a great time, the weather was perfect and no one was weird. 😎

This stole the show for me. Boy I tell ya, this is the only car that could get me out of my 500. IF…and only if…I had Audi Maintenance Money! 🤣
