    @jgd are you planning to get the ambers painted? the tint does not look good imo. I would paint those color matched

    I put smoke grey Laminix on the ambers and red side lights. The car came with the tint, even the windshield. Not sure if I will remove any of it at this point. Changing the badges to black next week. Did you put on the black R8 badge with the red flag? Is yours a V10?

    I see so many haters that comment on my Ig , along the lines of " shoulda gotten a v10", or " hah only a v8" , or " slow v8" when them bitches r driving like a honda or a c class. Think lots of people frown upon a v8 r8.

    No matter, the car still hot, nothing wrong with V8 I have it in my RS5, one of the last naturally aspirated for sure. Love the color combo.

    Haters will hate, ignore the simple minded, we know better. Jealousy comes in many forms.

    Did you paint your rings and replaced with gloss black? If replaced, from where?
    Did you use the same size rings?

    But it is still an R8 and rare whether it's a V8 or V10

    That's a cool piece! We don't list any R8 products but a carbon fiber frame on honeycomb R8 grille this is definitely something we can do for a very competitive price with wide choice of color and weaves . Or anything else you'd like to have CF laminated on your R8!

    I'm coming from a 5 as well. And I've felt the R8 tax too. But as you know, we've picked up a few search skills with our 5's that can minimize that R8 tax.
    I picked up my 2008 R8 almost 2 months ago. It's only a V8 as well. Hehehe
