Audi Black Optics Package Conclusion

In short, the black optic package is “blacked-out” accessories or trims provided by Audi for order. Usually, when we think of blacking out a car, we would include blacked-out taillights. However, that is probably the only thing that isn’t blacked out with the package. Imagine looking at a regular Audi and seeing chrome everywhere: grille, wheels, roof, badges, roof rails, etc. All of those would be black with the package. Is it worth the extra money? It depends. If you are looking to get a RS 5, $5,500 may not be worth it. However, if you are looking at a RS 3, $750 may be worth it. We personally love the blackout look and have since we’ve been able to drive.
