Or at least give me some advice in hiding the mods. I can't get my "CFO" to approve the budget for the KW V3 upgrade.

Default honestly, make it a part of both of your worlds. something to share. >>>

it's easier if you invite her into the world of modding and make her a part of it. didn't mean to be a downer with that 1st post.

don't hide it. share it. the TT had nothing to do with my scenario, more my job than anyting.

take her to an autox, a nice GTG run, or something. get that rush into her and share the experience. then maybe you can have two modded TTs or at least two modded vehicles.

Default Mrs Schwing & Mrs Rascal have in common that they humor us, course Mrs Rascal drives an S4 which

just came out of warranty.. so far the only mods are the Borla, early on, and now Forge DV sitting on my workbench. Both of these ladies have long term contracts. If this stuff is important to you, it should be important to your SO too... words of wisdom from the olde farte

Default Thanks for the advice so far guys.

My situation is somewhat different since my GF does not drive. She prefers to be the passenger in the car. As a result, she doesn't benefit from the mods directly. I could argue that the BBK will make the car safer on highway. ;-)

Default I don't get involved in her fur trade or Imelda Marcos shoe collection.....

I then receive no grief on TT mods or mountain bike gear!
