Random pics of your B9 S5 (no RS5)

I love what you've done! Where did you get those blacked out badges and audi rings? Also what size for your tires?

The badges and rings are from TAG motorsports, they are pricey but go on sale for time to time and match the OEM black optics perfectly.

The tires are 275/30/20

Report back on the Kenotek Showroom Shine if you can! I’m interested in the anti static claim, too. I had to stop using Beadmaker as I felt it attracted dust like crazy. I’ve been using Carpro Elixer and really like it. Always open to new stuff tho ;)

Happy with the Kenotek detailer so far. Kept my car looking very clean over about a week. Not dust free but seems like probably lower dust than normal, and the gloss is nuts. It does have a tendency to streak if not wiped down properly (reminds me a bit of Sonax BSD in that respect) so I wouldn’t apply to hot paint. I also got their car wash which is great and low residue. After a wash with the shampoo and using the detailer as a drying aid:

Right after I applied ceramic coating. It was a two day job from beginning to end. You can catch a glimpse of my old 991.1 S on the side too ..

Red or Black center caps? Black rim protectors going on next.

I vote for the red.

I vote for the red.

BLACK looks OEM, the red looks very JDM like my first Honda Civic Type-R.

Got caught in the middle of a wash by a surprise rain storm... still shiny.

I’m going to look into the Kenotek you guys have been talking about. I have a 3/4 full 5L jug of Beadmaker still left, but I agree, it almost feels like it ‘attracts’ dust. Although that might be the time of year, with all the pollen floating about.

Thanks for the update. After seeing your initial post, I ordered a bottle on Amazon. Was able to use it last week, and I must say that I am pretty damn impressed. I usually wash my car once a week, and don’t feel the need for another wash yet since it’s still nice and shiny and the amount of dust that is sticking to the car is definitely lower. Good find.

I also ordered a bottle of Technicians Choice Ceramic detail Spray, so I’ll use that this week and report back.

Kenotek is good stuff. I’ve been using it off and on for a few years with Sonax products. Their showroom shine is my favorite.

In the same boat... ordered from Amazon, which seems to be one of the few places not out of stock. Arrived early, so I tried it out today... initial impressions are very good.

Where did you get the front splitter?

Maxton Designs. I ordered mine direct from their Canadian website, but I know ECS carries them too.

Took about 3 months to arrive pre-pandemic. lol

Nice blackout! Is it just me or did you also wrap your side blades in something glossy?

Just out driving around today when I came by this place and I couldn’t resist taking a few shot mats... forgot all about this place.

It’s the buildings where they filmed the old Police Academy movies. Or at least the outside of the ‘Academy’

[V6Quatt]

Kind regards in SC.

Thank you! They are Zito ZF01s

They are wrapped with Vivvid smoke vinyl tint... I really like the look.

These lights are a major PITA to try to wrap I will have to redo the outside ones again because they are either peeling up in the corners or bunching up on the top from too much tension.

This gives you an idea of how much tint there is.

Different set. VMR took a blank 19x9.5 ET22 and drilled it to 5x112 for me.

Thanks! Yes, ordered a HAS kit from KW. May take a month as they are shipping from Germany. This is still just stock height. It’s about 2 finger gap. I want to get it to about 1/2 finger.

Hi All,

New 2020 S5 Sportback owner here, having moved on from a 2016 S4. Loving the new car. Nothing crazy with the pics below, just a couple shots I took on the first long road trip in the new ride.





=================

[303 Spartan]

Beautiful color combo, KatanaS. Congrats!

[2019RS5Sportbak]

Just kidding...

I actually come to see the beautiful pics...

[Gen8888]

the 2020s looking good! Love the subtle changes for a more aggressive look.

[05A632]

Anyone with a Monsoon Gray A5/S5? I just picked up a 2019 A5 and I am looking to tint, put on RS5 style grill, and blackout the chrome trim but not sure on % and colors.
