<b>In no particular order.....

50% tint.....wish it was darker, but tickets are now $250 in IL for tint on the front windows.....I don't think I'll get a ticket for this.

Multi Function Steering Wheel. Had a 3 spoke sport steering wheel (which I sold to Angus) and put this one in. Can control lots of things on with it including the phone in my pocket.....it's also heated.

Did I mention that I'm the only one in the US that I know of that has tiptronic on demand? Hit the tip switch on the wheel and it goes to tip.

TCU from a 02 S8, adds sport mode vs. 54321. There is really no comparison in the way the car acts when in sport.

RNS-E.....this thing rocks! Okay, it needs a subwoofer, but that comes later.....

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/sm_DSC_4794.JPG" border="1">

Factory bluetooth....this combined with the MFSW is over the top!

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/sm_DSC_4812.JPG" border="1">

Factory XM:

Subwoofer, need I say more? It fulfills the radio.....

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/sm_DSC_5879.JPG" border="1">

Did I mention it's cover in alcantara?

Clear corner markers.....this really makes your car look sharp....

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/images/sm_DSC_6484.JPG" border="1">

17" winter wheels with dedicated high performance H rated snow tires. This was the year of the bad weather.....so glad I did this.

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/images/sm_DSC_8746.JPG" border="1">

And bi-xenons.....okay, only one right now.....but there will be two within a few days.....

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/images/sm_DSC_9874.JPG" border="1">

<img src="http://www.audipages.com/images/sm_DSC_9877.JPG" border="1">

I think that's all the mods to date.....but here's what I would like to do:

1. Sport Shifter

2. Verona Trim

I really didn't hack into any part of my car to do these mods.....the next owner should be very happy.

Default Good times indeed. To my friends here in Ohio I am referring to you as "Audi Genius". That timing...

...belt is still on my car and has never had any trouble since we (you) changed it. That has always been impressive to me. The other genius (TozoM8) also got my TipTronic mod done right the first time. Still works after three years. Haven't been back to Chicago since I moved. Maybe I should book a flight instead of considering a drive...

See my somewhat humorous write up of that day...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/27226.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/27226.phtml</a</li></ul>

Looks damn good. I wish I did 50% tint instead of 35% on mine.
