That trim looks awful...it doesn't even extend all the way to the edge of the trunk. It also seems really awkward to have 2 chrome strips like that.

Audi did a good job on integrating a chrome strip at the bottom part of the trunk lid, but as you can see, it doesn't have a chrome strip above the license plate.

For these one-off parts, sometimes eBay is the only place you'll will them. Just saying...

Sorry for the delay. Was traveling then had to figure out a way to block the license #. This was purchased on ebay and the quality seems good. How it wears will be telling.

The idea to cover the bottom edge in chrome or SS is a good one, but the piece don't reach either side and looks short. I actually prefer the trunk w/o the chrome strip because it looks like an add-on.

I'm sorry but the fsport badge does not belong on a Es. And believe me I'm not insulting the Es I have one too but there is a reason why it's not f sport.

I knew the F-Sport badge would incite more reaction than the trim! The ES is such a bland car I felt I needed to make it unique, and with so few people even knowing the difference. Love the car but it does need some "flash".

Check out my next post on my wheel "upgrade"!

There's a difference between making tasteful improvements that dress it up a little, and sticking on a bunch of eBay trim and badges from different models....the latter is the sort of ricey stuff you see kids of to Honda Civics IMHO. Makes it look like you're a kid driving your dad's hand me down Lexus.
