    Hi Everyone!

    Making this thread to journal and share the plans I have for my Q8.
    It is a 2021 S-Line, Black Optics Pack, Navarra Blue, on Okapi Brown.

    Here are the plans I have so far planned:

    -Full Maxton Design Kit
    -23" 3 Bc Forged Wheels
    -De-Badge
    -Lowering Module
    -Door Lights
    -Black Mirror Caps
    -Custom Steering Wheel
    -Custom Floor Mats
    -Pedal Cover Set
    -Shift Knob Cover
    -Driver Side mirror to eliminate blind spot
    -Wireless Charging Phone mount as the cars built it wireless charger overheats my phone.

    Its good to be back in an Audi, the last Audi I had was back in 2010. It was a 2009 Audi S5, Modified it differently a few times. Photos below:



    After that I had a 991 GT3, and an F80 M3. Both modified and sold recently, photos below:






    Recently I picked up an F8 Tributo, pictured below:

    Do you mind sharing the tire size you used? Currently in market for some 23" for my sq8 - wanting to go to a 335 but not sure how that would look. Yours looks perfect as is!

    Sweet ride! Where did you source the perforated shift cover? I'm seeing them for other fitments but not the Q8. Thanks!
