Thanks Flip
You should do it Kfab, are you planning on any mods for your RS?
The carbon you installed in the R8 looks F'kin nice man, to bad they don't have any carbon pieces for the RS6..

I keep wondering if the R8's front rims will work on all four corners of the RS6. I plan on putting the carbon Dymags on the R8 eventually and would end up w/a spare set of rims... I don't think the rears would fit, though. If fronts fit the RS, then I'll search out a second set of fronts and have a set for it.
Anyone know what the offset and width of the RS rims are? R8 are 8.5 and 10.5 x 19. Not sure what the offset is, though.
I'm in the process of making carbon Audi rings and R8 logo right now - they look sweet so far. I still have interior stuff to install too. Just waiting on a couple other pieces before I gut the interior of the 8. That's going to be fun.
What other pieces of carbon could you want for the RS? Mine came w/the carbon option - door trim, center console trim, across the dash. It's quality is killer. You can probably order it from Audi if you don't have it.
Plans for the RS are chip it, get rid of the DRC and put something else in it (I know not what yet - need to do research), change out the good weather rims & tires and make the stock rims winter runners.

Damn the carbon Dymags would look amazing on the R8..
The R8 rims on the RS6 would look good, and the NEW RS6 rims would also look pretty sexy I'm thinkin. I'll get you the width here in a few, I have to look up what I ordered for my BBSs.
So if your making carbon Audi rings would you be able to make more?
Mine has the carbon interior too, but I'm a CF *****.. any more CF bits in the interior would be cool.
I think next I'm going to get the resonators cut out on the milltek exhaust, should make it a little louder.

I'm going to end up with three sets of c/f rings. Spent part of the morning sanding the first one - oh what fun...
I'm not sure if I'll have one or two sets of the rings available. Depends on if I decide to put a set on the RS or not.
Depending on demand, and how easy this project ends up NOT being, I may be persuaded to make more. A buddy of mine and I start w/the raw materials, lay up two layers, vacuum bag it, cnc the shapes, sand, clear coat, sand some more, clear coat again and then buff them out. It's a pain in the ***...
The unfortunate thing about them is that they're flat and not raises like the regular Audi rings are. I purchased a ring badge and worked on trying to mold the c/f around them. The surface is too abrupt in areas for me to get a good wrap around the badge.
I also have tried a couple other ways, with a mold and plug, different vacuum techniques - once again, not the results I wanted. But, that said, the flat rings that I'm going to end up with really do look good. And as a bonus, they're more aerodynamic! - yea, that's the selling point - low profile, more aero! (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
We also have a test set of license plate frames that I need to work on. I can't quite get the corner of the frames to sink down into the mold like I want...

DSM rollin shots?
My GSX was taken today to begin installation on it's new motor and a few other things.. 
Yes the window is broken I have a new one waiting to be installed
and the new GT3076r next to my Escalade keys
I can't wait for the thing to be finally done.. it's been sitting around for a while.
I am also going to be getting a B5 A4 in the next week or so

turbo back exhaust and intake first.. It's going to be the rainy day car so no stg 3 or anything. I'm going to paint some exterior parts too, may do black down the middle of the car. I'm trying to find one in white or blue..
Mike do you like the color of the GSX?
