Black and red looks good
The mesh in front bumper looks filled in, are those your plans?
or are you just going to paint it?

For the mesh in the front bumper I am going to have the back of it stay black and the mesh part red, I guess my friend couldnt do that. Im thinking of having the wheels powder painted with the spokes red and the line down the middle of them black and red on the outer rim to offset the rim from the tire. I think a good red color will look hot if I do it. How much does it cost to powder paint some wheels?

sorry but the red is too much. i'd keep the red subtle and only to the linings like the grill lining. as for the fog light cover/mesh, keep em black. i'd blacken the rings instead of red em. and as for the rear, i'd either keep that black or carbon fiber, not red.

as for the rims, ya they're kool, but they're from sportmax = [:'(]

i'd get these babies, Black BBS LM reps with red lip. you can find that on eBay from time to time.

For the front I think it would look good for the lower grills to be red but just a mesh red, where as the way it looks now is solid. Also I like the red rings but not the red around the grill. I would keep the back black and just red the emblems. Those BBS would just set it perfect.

I'm a fan of minimalism. That being said, I'm not too fond of the front shot. I prefer small accents of color rather than large blotches. Doing the trim around the grille was a nice touch, and maybe the Audi rings also, but the rest of the front, in my opinion, would look better untouched. As far as the back, again, the Audi rings look good, but I don't like the red on the valance. It's not very subtle, which is what bothers me about it the most.

Then again, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and should do whatever mods make them happy.
