Yes I found a local place that rents lifts for $50 /hr so I will do my best. A nearby shop wanted $500 to install. After watching a few youtube videos it does not seem that hard, and I am not all that handy.

Probably the best tutorial I have found. Oddly enough they are a local shop about 15 minutes from me but I want to try the installation myself as they quoted me 3.5 hrs of labor which we all know it's bs.
Had the shop also paint the brakes with enamel (not rattle can) bright red. I found some stickers off ebay that I think they complement the look. $700. Not cheap but I know the paint will not chip and they almost look like aftermarket brakes. Car is a bit filthy after a long road trip. Next are the CETE suspension install and I am going to repurpose some ABT 20" wheels from my old A6. I will use the stock tires for now until I decide what to do next.
CETE install completed. I followed the instructions provided by Europrice but frankly the video I linked above is far more helpful. Install took me about 1.5 hrs with the lift. $90 for the lift rental is not bad.
It's pretty straight forward in retrospect. I took my time ensuring that the zip ties were neat and away from the exhaust, axle etc. I think I used like 25 zip ties so know that what is provided in the kit are not enough. I am not very mechanically inclined at all, so if I can do it anyone can, no joke. I will say that so far I like it but I am trying to understand the app and the profiles. Show mode is low but I wouldn't say is slammed to the ground like you see with aftermarket airbags. Have it set for -30 for now but will adjust once I swap wheels and test some driveways.
Here's a little 10 minute "mod" for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I missed the sunglasses holder that I had on my MKIV Jetta, B5 S4 and even on my C7 A6. So I found this one on amazon.
Super cheap, easy install. There is no need for a grab handle on the drivers side and now I have a home for my shades. Apologies for the ridiculous large pics. I don't know how to change that.
