Thanks man. I think I need different center caps. I think I need something silver to remove the distraction from the design.
I just showed it to my colleague, and he agrees. He thinks that the BMW cap makes all the attention focus in the center.
Definitely think that it'll look better like this:

LOL, man, I dunno. I have glossy grills in the front, and while I can't say I dislike it completely, I think I might paint the bars silver/chrome this weekend. It being all black makes it look aggressive, but like many people have said, standing a little further away, it looks like someone robbed your grills.
The center cap swap is a great idea too, btw.

Thanks man, I will see if I have some time this weekend. Seems that Jorge and I will be working on an Audi this weekend, and doing my homework to figure out what we're getting into, lol.

LOL. Jeff at Coast Motorsport saw my lighting stuff, and he asked me to hook up his Audi customer. So we'll see, lol.
It's kind of funny, I looked it up today and the Audi's DRL strip is nearly $500 (from dealer) just for the part itself. And here we have BMW guys think that the Orions v2 are too much

Was busy this weekend, so didn't really get to take pics.
We did that Audi Q7 DRL install today. It was something new, and an interesting challenge, but it all worked out. Interestingly enough, this is the first time a customer paid us more than what we quoted for. The guy gave us 30% tip for how it turned out. Pretty awesome guy, lol.
So here are quick pics before I go to bed. The first is to showcase the wheels, taken on Friday. The second is what my front grills now look like. And the third is the Audi Q7 with DRL installed. All pics were taken on iPhone and first is colorsplashed by iPhone

Didn't know the Q7 didn't come with the LED strip or is that an earlier model Q7? Congrats to you, maybe the dude is a regular on Audi boards and can send more business your way!
