Default Strobes!!!

I miss my 70 Watt 4-outlet Whelen hideaway strobes. Nothing says "look at me" like some fire/police lights. I'm always thinking to myself whenever I see a show car with strobes "you must've spent $200 for some strobes that chase each other that you can only see indoors, why not spend $300 and blind people in daylight?" Look me up if you want info on that, it'd be nice to see a show car w/ strobes done right for once.

Default there is a xenon setup in the classifieds that is resonably priced

the tech writeup is in the "tech section" above. There is no H7 setup, they are D2S bulbs. 4000k is a nice bright white, with a tint of blue. 6000k is getting into the bluer bulbs. Any higher and you are goign to suffer on light output.

Default what's the "performance package"?

I'd say go down the list of free mods found in the tech section such as diy clear corners, rear fog lights.

put some oem exhaust tips and an RS4 grille on, can be found at clair parts ,ecs tuning, etc.

depending on whether or not you have a 01 or 01.5 you either have the 16" sport wheels or 17" sport wheels. if 16 maybe you will want to upgrade to 18's, if 17 you might be fine w/ those. (I reccomend Hartmannwheels.com)

drive the car for a bit and figure out what you feel you can make better. if you have any questions be sure to search as many problems have already been covered and if you can't find the answer post and someone will help you.

enjoy your car and please post pictures!
