First of all, congrats on the car!!! It's a beauty, isn't it? 
Did you have the order form filled with everything you wanted when you placed the order? If so, and the supercharged badges is on the form, then you can have them change the badges without charge. IIRC, from 2011 on, the supercharged badges are an option. I still have the V6T badges on my car. Doesn't really bother at all.

No, it doesn't say on the order form that the supercharged badge was included, but the salesman has admitted that he may have made the error and actually called me today. They are offering to order it and put it on now, I commend them for that. I just think the supercharged badge looks sexy
That's great news. I'll bet you $10 they are worried about the survey you get to fill out post sales that is conducted by AOA. The badge is a drop in the bucket to them compared to the good survey they want from you.

So I went to Bellevue this Monday and got my Window tint and clear bra done, so excited to have that out of the way. My next mods will most likely be the exhaust and a Laser jammer, but I am unsure on the jammer so far.

Thank you for the advise, much appreciated. I do plan on the exhaust, but I was going to wait for a sale, not a huge rush.
My mod money these days are going elsewhere!!!

So plastikman, when are you getting flashed. 
APR’s Engineering Teams have finished final testing of a new ECU Calibration for the Stage I and Stage II+ ECU Upgrades. The results are an additional 20-30 Horsepower and ft-lbs of torque depending on operating conditions, and the addition of APR Motorsport features designed to enhance your driving experience.
Accompanying these updates, all ECU’s flashed with APR’s v2.0 software will be subject to subsequent updates via OBD-II port reflashes through APR’s world wide distribution network.
For several years, APR’s tested the 3.0 TFSI through brutal professional motorsport racing in the Grand-AM and World Challenge Road Racing Series. Automotive Engineering firms have continuously turned to endurance racing as proving grounds for new technologies and to measure the durability and viability of these new technologies in a rigorous total system accelerated life-testing environment found in very few alternatives. Through this testing and research APR’s Engineering Team is able to deliver a more powerful application of the Stage I and Stage II+ ECU Upgrade and do so knowing little to no loss of life will be suffered in the comparison to the Original Calibration and engine performance levels.
APR’s dynamic calibration changes allow the TVS1320 supercharger unit to operate to its full potential under many different ambient conditions. The resulting increase in intake mass airflow delivers more power though the entire rev range, no matter what APR Stage or APR Performance program you choose. Accordingly, adjustments were made to other areas of the ECU calibration to ensure proper operation as intended by the OEM.
APR’s Motorsport Left Foot Braking feature is now available allowing customers more control over their vehicle’s throttle. Under normal operation, throttle input is disabled while pressing the accelerator and brake at the same time, however this may be undesirable for those looking to get the most out of their vehicles performance on the track. Enabling the left foot braking feature, the driver will have complete control over the vehicle’s throttle and braking system, which may give the edge he or she needs at the track.
APR’s Motorsport Rev Limiter is also now available allowing 6MT customers to reach max RPM without the ECU slowing down acceleration nearly 400 RPM’s earlier. The result is more power to redline and a definable redline feeling as seen on Audi Quattro GMBH vehicles such as the B7 RS4 and R8 V8 & V10.
Version 2.0 software is now available and is a FREE upgrade for all existing APR Stage I and Stage II+ customers.

I'm officially sold on Audi. I've been against the fence lately as we're looking to replace our TL's. We're set to test drive a couple of vehicles next week and wanted to know if the Nav option is worth it? I hear the nav in Euro cars are a P.I.A. Thanks in advance
I'm just blown away by the power that engine can make with a simple reflash.
