My new a$$: S4 rear (with S4 chrome trunk strip), unpainted S4 door blades, votex lip, (more)
Well here it is... at the last minute, I decided to go with the Votex lip as I thought the S4 version was subtle...nice but I liked the Votex more. I am doing a CC mod this weekend if all goes well (ecodes when $ is more reasonable), got my 3 sets of Silver bulbs put in already (Front, Sides and Rear from stealthauto.com) - look real neat, perfect fit! Great service from Todd @ Stealth.
Overall, I am very happy with the quality of the work at the body shop - my Audi dealer recommended. Paint match is near perfect. I love how the dark tint (10s) and window trim match with the unpainted blades and S4 rear exhaust trim....goin' for that <B>euro-S4</B> look. I made a pit stop at the dealership yesterday and my car made a very good first impression with the folks there. The Eibachs/Konis are at the right height and have settled almost near 100%.
There are a couple of "not-so-common or common" mods (aka Eddie-Man's thread :-)) I am planning over the next few weeks/months...
1) Replace that 1st generation XM antenna with a Roady style mini - there is one available now with a 1-to-2 wire adaptor for the antenna cable. I couldn't stand the signal drop-outs so I moved it outside. Gotta love Sat radio!
2) Matching headrest covers with embossed rings to cover rear LCDs...my A/V guy is neat!
3) Cut that black plastic trim behind the rear plates...an eye sore!
4) 18s (with Toyo T1-S or GY F-1 GSD3) mid-May, REVO/SPS1/Forge DV May-end, and exhaust (Audi or Miltek ?) to follow in June/July....
5) S4 style mirrors/interior trim
....
N) Last but not least, once I am satisfied and done with the K04 in the Fall/Winter, bite the bullet and Debadge...my cigar!
I am going to take my sweet time with the perf. mods, I am *old* compared to you guys ;-) plus the Mrs. has an evil eye over me.
Ok enough rattle... (more pictures very soon or on my PicPoster)
My favorite shot:

Sincere thanks go out to NeedforSleep & Eddie-Man for the help on procuring the S4 blades.

Looking damn good, Arun!
I really like the unpainted door blades. They help minimize the bulk of the middle of the car IMHO.
As for the mod schedule...without deadlines nothin' gets done! I'm beginning to suspect that the ODAB6/dtw boys have seduced you over to the Dark Side, lol. I guess I'll just have to settle living vicariously through you for the time being.
