Some input please
I have ordered the A8 so am waiting. Was going to get the DSOM with the black wheels. Thought it was really sharp. However I have seen the C7 in Black with black wheels and interior. WOW!!!! What do you guys think? Undecided now.

I like black, but not on this car. My previous Z was black on black as well. I decided TR for this car because it shows off the lines better. Black wheels are a must.

I am going with the Triple Black as the car just wants that color so bad.
The styling is very aggressive especially with the black spoiler and is very masculine looking in black.
I am also going with some visible carbon fiber interior and exterior. The interior Jet Black with the visible carbon fiber also has trim in brushed aluminum or silver. Therefore I will be highlighting the very important visible carbon fiber ground effects and vents just along the edges to provide visibility to those areas. That will be done in Blade Silver to complement the interior and provide uniformity for the entire car.
Final touch will be the calipers in Blade Silver with black writing.
Can't wait to get my Black!

Usually your happiest with your first choice. For what it's worth, IMO on this car the dark colors tend to temp down the lines and all of the vents, scoops, spoiler, etc. which gives the car a more subdued look (not that it is that subdued looking) and the aero pieces blend in more. The bright/light colors such as DSOM, AW, BS, VY really show the contrast with the aero parts and make them pop and highlight the lines of the car. Either looks good. Just a question of which way you want to go.
