I was at $1,000 including tax and an extra c.$75 to shoot 3 samples to get the right shade. I was trying to reproduce the satin graphite on the OEM wheels. This for a turnkey service in San Antonio TX.

Oh dang! I guess the AI went a little crazy when I cleaned up some of the background clutter :). Good eye!

Got my wheels powder coated, blacked out the side reflectors, installed blacked out badges, stage 1 paint correction and 5 year Dr. Beasley's ceramic coating! Very pleased with how the car looks now; last mod I think is the black rearview mirror covers. I much prefer this look to how I got...

I've got a '26

Here are the part numbers I got from my dealer for the Torch Red belts. I didn't order from them. I have a local performance shop that had worked on my GTI and they were familiar with doing this install, having done an RS3 and other cars before. Had them order the belts, which saved me some...

Not sure what I did, but I got in on my first try yesterday for dates in September! 4BW, M6, not sure if that makes a difference. Super excited to go; I did a 4 day Grand Prix Road Racing class at the Bondurant school in 2004 and hope this approaches that great experience. Anybody else in for...

I just left the country for a month after I ordered so I wouldn't obsess :)

Before and After pics after I got my Torch Red belts installed today on my 4BW! I love the contrast and it really livens up the interior IMHO. I've heard others have had issues getting the center rear, but I was able to get them in about 3 weeks. I never really thought of contrasting belts as...

I used Gemini on the Chrome browser and had to spend about a half hour getting it where I was happy with it. Sometimes I would quit and start over because the AI wouldn't make the correction I was asking for, even though it said it did. I used a prompt like this: "Create a 768x1376 aspect...

Didn't do anything to the car, but played around with AI to make a wallpaper for my phone with my correct license plate! I don't think the silver is quite right relative to the Argent Silver actually on the car, but good enough for now!

Looking forward to an update on your opinion of the lockout kit when you get it installed, specifically any negative NVH you pick up. I had a 2009 G8 GXP that I modded the suspension on, and loved the performance increase but hated the squeaking and creaking I got from it.

Do you have a link for the tinted LEDs?

This is what I got from my dealer as the red belt part numbers for the CT4V Blackwing...I've not compared to the others listed in this thread, but my sales guy said the Parts Director provided them. I'm doing the same as you!

Could you add mine? '26 4BW VIN T0460324 6MT Argent Silver Metallic Sky Cool Gray/w Jet Black No sunroof, as God intended Climate Package on the seats Build date 02/26

I sold it a couple of years ago. Those things held their value really well with the M6. I got about $65k for it and IIRC paid c.$72k for it new.
