Looks nice, I just have the black out rim around mine, although I'm getting tired of that look, when I get ecodes, im going to go for the Rs4 grille.

I like the Logo to remain chrome. Dont know why, it just seems a little overkill to have it all blacked out.

I would leave the chrome there it makes the rings stand out better unless your intention is to drive at night ( night rider lol ) then go stealth

Yeah, most def. Yours looks solid black-on-black....though I would be curious to see what it looked like with some clear coat.

Hopefully your paint job will turn out better than mine did the first time around. I took a long roadtrip about a week after I painted it and got Pwnd by the PA Turnpike (result below). I used primer and acrylic laquer the first time....then used THE AMAZING PLASTI-DIP spray to fix it, and haven't had problems since.

Yeah bro, Plasti Dip rocks. I scraped some of the undercoating off my jack points, so I figure a little Plasti-Dip will keep me safe from the salt this winter! (it probably won't, but what the hell, can't hurt).
