RS6 Makeover: New Color, New Wheels

[Stephencl]

Need just a bit more blue....

[wes]

that seriously look fantastic!

have you perhaps got a bit more info on how or who cut the vents in your bonnet?

[Erik]

I really like that look.

Fonz, I love your Beast! She looks amazing on those wheels and stance! Are you getting any rubbing on the inside with steering full-turned or did you already address the nub? Personal taste kinda thing, I'd like to see those wheels sticking out just a hair - maybe a 10mm spacer in the rear, 5mm in the front? If I had an excuse to head down your way, would you offer a club discount for full-car DYC? Brilliant black looks wunderbar on the Beast, but she's definitely showing some rock chips / road abuse rash...

I bought a spare RS6 hood through the dealership, then designed and cut the vents myself. After they were cut I took it to a body shop who smoothed the cuts and painted the hood for me.

No rubbing at all. BC Forged gave me a custom offset for the RS6 and I'm very happy with the fitment. I could see them poking out a hair more too - but I'd surely see rubbing at that point. I'm happy with the wheels for sure. We don't dip customer cars at DYC, only shop cars for videos unfortunately.

On the fence with black housing headlights, i have black wheels also... man don't know what to do.

This is what put's me on the fence about the headlights.... looks super tough! Lower lip may help a little too...

Anyone know the details on those headlights?


Also Fonz, I've dipped my grille bezels and they seem to be magnets for lint when I dry the car. Is this normal for the rubbery texture of the finish and what do you recommend to prevent this?

This is what you need.



I don't want to speak too much on the product, as I'm not an official vendor here and I want to respect the forum.

Fonz, good input, much appreciated. Even though you are a vendor, in my opinion the quality of your work and attention to the RS6 make it more than acceptable to promote DYC to some extent, and certainly mention techniques and products when asked. It's when a company repeatedly shows their product on cars not associated with a group that it's too much. Top notch!

Agreed, i didn't even know this product existed. Definitely trying it on the wheels.
Car looks dope!

Thanks for this. I'll do some more research.

BTW, how are you liking the 911 turbo?

I drove my first 911 this week and what a mistake. 2015 GT3. Amazing and the PDK-S trans is bananas. Now everything just seems blah....

I like it. It's the fastest and best handling car that I've ever owned.

Still doesn't have the raw personality of the RS6 though..

Wow. Expensive stable and then some. Clearly someones bills are being well covered by plastic coating.... haha

Interesting business model that's for sure. I would have never suspected that many people want to put a coating like that on their automobiles. Then again I would have never supsected that many people would have put gawd awful 'erector set' rear wings on their cars either. Guess that's why we each own what we own and why we each have our own personalities when it comes to likes and dislikes.

There are a TON of dipped sports cars in the NW it seems, certainly a university town like Eugene, OR, very popular with the kids. Problem is half the time they do a half-ass job of it, but there are some good local sprayers that produce clean work too.

[stubro]

Fonzie it looks great love the video on YouTube! Would love to give my beast a new look if at least for a few months. Need some paint touch up though. Was going to get it done soon. How bad do small imperfections show through?
