Just picked up a mythos black RS 6 Avant last month and I am stressing over the aesthetics. I have about 3k saved up for mods before my track day in October, and I really cant decide where to put it. Im torn between a full carbon fiber splitter set from Maxton or just doing a chrome delete wrap with some new wheels. My logic was that the splitter makes it look way more aggressive, but the chrome delete feels cleaner for a daily driver in Seattle. I dont wanna look like a total poser if the fitment is off though. Which route would you guys go for a street build that sees occasional track time?

Like someone mentioned, stick to the chrome delete. Save the rest for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 285/30ZR22 tires. Trust me, extra grip beats aero bits any day when you are tracking.

TL;DR: Skip the cheap aero and prioritize suspension and braking if you want to actually enjoy that track day without looking like a poser. I went down the rabbit hole with my own Audi builds for years. Honestly, adding cheap splitters on a heavy wagon usually just leads to torn bumper clips after one off-track excursion. If you really want a cleaner look, skip the wrap and just get a professional chrome delete done with high-quality vinyl. Spend the rest of your budget on a solid set of Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Brake Pads or maybe some 034Motorsport Dynamic+ Lowering Springs. I tracked my setup with those springs and the handling difference was night and day compared to the stock floaty feel. Youll have a much better time at the track with a car that actually corners well than one that just looks like it does.

Honestly skip the splitters. Go for a clean chrome delete and grab a set of HRE P101 22x10.5. They look sick, way more durable for track days, and super easy to daily.

Congrats on the RS 6, man. Honestly, id skip the Maxton stuff. I had a front splitter from them on my old ride and unfortunately the fitment was not as good as expected, plus the carbon quality starts to yellow if you leave it in the sun too long. For a track day, you want something that wont fly off at 100mph.
- Do the chrome delete first. It cleans up the lines way better on mythos black.
- Spend the rest on a solid set of HRE FlowForm FF10 21-inch Wheels. Those wheels are way stronger than the stock options and lighter for track sessions. Dont cheap out on your exterior bits, honestly. Youre gonna regret putting subpar plastic on such a beast. Get the chrome wrapped professionally and upgrade the wheels instead. Youll thank me later.

To add to the point above: be careful with front aero parts if you actually plan on tracking. I learned the hard way that one bad curb hit or steep driveway can rip right through your bumper clips. My current setup is purely stock for that reason. I would suggest prioritizing a solid chrome delete and maybe some high-quality tires instead. You really dont want cheap parts failing when youre pushing speed on a track.
