Hey guys. I am sorry this has taken me so long to make this thread. Photobucket made their update and unfortunately my entire 1.5 years of updates thread was destroyed overnight. I know many of you have been following my build. It's been a rollercoaster of dealing with shops that half ass their work.
I had to do the entire and audio system from scratch twice now. Thats what has really made this entire build take so long. Along with my faulty tweeter getting lost in the mail by fedex during a warranty issue(it ended up being destroyed, a 3k set of tweeters fedex DESTROYED because there was a mistake in the shipping as it was sent as a RTS and didn't get picked up by the company (Emilios at Audio excellent) and they are not covering it btw), troubleshooting carbon fiber and paint bits which are very slow processes to get done right around here.
There was a period of about 6 months where I had lost faith of this build. But I AM BACK IN ACTION!
This is a real PITA but since I received so much support I am going to repost my progress in a cliff notes fashion so you guys can see the process of what exactly goes into a 100% Audi S7 BLACK EDITION build.

I guess it was all or nothing. I looked online and saw I could buy some of these modules separately as whole units in a worst case scenario which would mean I would still have to figure out how to not break the second unit if I broke one of them because I can't have most of the parts black and then lets say my left door handle silver! Parts for this car aren't cheap. I set aside a budget of a couple grand in case that happened. Had to buy a couple of parts twice.. Out of the hundreds I took apart I would say I was around a 2% replacement rate. And honestly I could have just used glue to fix the parts, but I was set on doing this build RIGHT!!!!! No cut corners. NO half ass jobs. Everything as quality as it would be from the factory!
