    How much does it cost to change side blade from Audi?

    While I am waiting on my Silver with Apollo silver sideblade, I am thinking that might not be enough contrast. And CF or black is too much contrast for me. I can’t be sure that the Apollo silver will not look good as I have not seen that combo in person. Seen plenty of other combo. It is hard to tell from Audi.com or pictures on ebay wut they actually looks like. Any of you can post better pics on this combo? Maybe I will wait to see how it looks, and I can order extra blade and change it out if I think it needs more contrast(such as Quartz Gray). Any idea how much that exercise will cost me?

    My Audi dealer in Orlando, FL quoted me between $350 and $400. From speaking with other board members, this is high. I've heard Audi should charge about $200 - $250.

    Audi quoted my somewhere in the ballpark of $4k for a set of CF blades. Luckily I was able to change my R8 order to CF blades (originally had oxygen silver ordered), so I didn't have to pay the high price.

    minor details, but thanks anyway. I will keep the silver as is for now. It might be fun to have side blades change every 6 or 9 months to have that new car look. Rotating between two colors
