I got this idea from the RS5 with the color matching on the interior "silver" panels.
I'm calling it the "ARS" (Andrew's Release Series)






ALL door handles..

most of them were a piece of cake. just "POPS" right off. the Passenger side vent was a B!TCH to remove. I had to bend the dash up (whit the battery disconnected) and use a "stubby" screwdriver to remove the 3 screws holding it in. I considered removing the entire dash, but there is 1 bolt that was hard for me to reach, AFTER I got everything put back together I found out how to get the stubborn bolt out.
I am in the process of color matching my interior pieces as well. It is disapointing that the RS 6 did not come color coordinated as the RS 5 did.
So far I have only completed one of the back door handle as a test to see if I would actually like it.
How was getting the plastic pieces off of the steering wheel?

As most of you can see, there are quite a few white specs on most of the pieces.. it's not in the paint. it's dust. I cleaned it off, but the camera flash picked up what I didn't see. Also the pic of the rear hatch emblem... it had just rained, so there was a little water....
