Re: I mean remove the "1.8t" & the "A4" badges to smooth out the rear appearance.
Wow, of course I am new to the Audi family, but I think the badges look cool, myself. Think I'll pass on that one. But thanks for the tip!
You guys here are really great!

I have just never been able to decide if I like the look or not (more)
I really don't think the A4 looks good with a "big" spoiler. But the lip spoilers, or the two spoilers that come with the Oetinger(sp?) kit look quite good on the A4. Not sure if I would ever get one, but if I did it would probably be something understated like that.

What kind/color/percentage tint matches the moonroof most closely?
I'd think this would look best from the inside if all the tinting on the car was at least the same color. Front side window tint is technically a no-no in IL (I see your front plate, although I can't read your city sticker), but that doesn't stop too many people from doing it.

Thanks...Galesburg, Ill., here. Don't want to go illegal. Will it look bad to have back tinted, and front not?

Sport Package = firmer ride, tighter cornering with less body roll...
Oh, and lower stance to go along with larger wheels and low profile tires. If you get the Dunlops with the Sport, better dry performance tires as well.
Some might even call the Sport Package ride "harsh". It depends on what you like.
It's perfect for my tastes.

If you use your cell phone a lot in the car...
Then I suggest a car kit and have it connected to the Radio Mute function of the stock radio.
It isn't a go fast mod, or even a cosmetic mod. It does free up your hands from having to do anything when making or receiving cell phone calls. No headset or earpiece wires to mess with. Just put your phone in the cradle, listen to the radio, and if a call comes in, the radio mutes (pauses the CD if playing), says "PHONE" on the radio and on the dash display, press the answer button on your phone, and talk away.
When the call ends, the radio/CD resumes. No hassles.
The only drawback is I find myself trying to find reasons to call people while in the car.
Just my $0.02. Oh, and I've also done the tint mod as well. Waiting to do the chip after my 10k service. Might do an exhaust mod soon after chipping.

As for tinting... I'd say aim for 25-35% if you can. But some places..
Only order certain sheets. One near me only has 5%, 20%, and 35%. But I wouldn't go any higher than 40-45, then there's really not much point in doing it in the first place. 20% is decent, little dark, but not impossible. Cost is usually anywhere between $175-250 usually.
