Good job, Blake!

[Ryan_T]

Looks great. Not rice-y at all.

[awhk82]

Very nice!!!

[A4before24]

what % did you tint the sunroof, or did you

[B8Lover]

Hey Blake, I'm just wondering whats the status on that exhaust that you ordered? Installed it yet?

[Blake P]

A4before24: I did not tint the sunroof. It comes tinted from the factory and I left it as is.

B8Lover: I never ordered an exhaust. I'm still waiting for AE Performance to come out with their quad tip setup. I had my S4 valence sent to their shop to help out with measurements, so hopefully that will help speed up the process.

blake, where's the clutch pedal?? :D

just out of curiosity - why would you choose an automatic over manual, when it's Audi we're talking about here? no offense, just wanna know...

If we were talking about a sports car you might have an argument, but it's an entry level luxury sports sedan. Plus, manuals were not released when the A4 was launched. Plus plus, I'm a lazy driver. Plus plus plus, I've never owned a manual and don't want to learn now. If I feel like shifting gears, I have the option of the tiptronic or paddles.

Great looking mods to an already awesome looking car.
Your car is actually the reason i purchased the Audi A4 S-line, I saw your pics a month ago and had to have one...so thanks for the monthly payment Blake! haha

[Blake P]

We had a rare day of overcast skies today in sunny Central CA, so I took advantage of the great lighting provided by the afternoon clouds and snapped a few new pictures. Enjoy!

Is that your field? Anyway...coo pics...i see some dirt on your car.

[Calabria]

Are Ecodes available for the B8s yet?
Nice car, my favorite B8 I think...in person or if saw driving I would probably fall for it.

[beemercer]

Damn your car has done a lot to change my mind about B8's.

[WantAvant]

um yeah.........beautiful!! The lighter tint looks alot better too, awesome car Blake!!

[vwong]

Have I told you before that your car looks awesome?

[Anthony]

Ah yes the tint. It does look nice, and will probably be what we'll be going with on ours. What's the brand and percentage again?

50% sides / 35% rear glass, FormulaOne pinnacle series ceramic tint

Yes?

[Blake P]

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

It's FormulaOne 50% sides, 35% rear glass.

Here are some other shots I took yesterday in the warehouse...

[italian a4 1032]

nice

[formula1guy]

Great looking car Blake, particularly like the shots in the warehouse. The car looks awesome in an industrial setting.

[Hyde]

Post #572 win.

Wish they'd open up the warehouse for me ...

[B8Lover]

Blake as many compliments you get about your car you must feel like the ISH drving down the street . lol

No way! There are so many nice cars on the road that mine is hardly noticeable. Around here Audis aren't too popular and most people don't really consider A4's luxury vehicles. I'd rather not deal with the negative attention anyway.

Ah...that's the great thing. I'd hate it if everywhere I turn I see an Audi (like BMW or MB).

Exactly! Everyone and their mother (literally) drives a 3 series or C Class. I've only seen 2 other B8 A4's in Fresno, so it's nice driving something a little more unique.

[Blake P]

Still trying to learn my way around photoshop and lightroom. A couple more edits...

[piotrowr]

Sweeeeet......

[B8Lover]

So Blake I'm curious would you ever consider putting any type of bodykit on your B8? Not that anything is wrong with the S-Line package.

No, I think Audi nailed it with the S Line styling. If I had a non-S Line, I would put the Votex kit.

blake,
how is the ride on the kw's? the reason i ask is because on my last car i left the stock shocks with lowering springs and it worked out for about 45,000 miles.

[Wolfs9]

looks soooo hot man!!
grtz

The ride is firmer than stock but not harsh. Nice and sporty.

FINALLY installed my HOEN xenonmatch fog bulbs this week with help from Darwin @ SonicMS removing the plastic grilles around the fogs. I guess I was just being too gentle trying to pry them off... he just pulled firmly and they popped right off, gaining easy access to remove the fog lamps and change the bulbs in less than 5 minutes. I'm pretty happy with the light output, though they're slightly more blue than the xenon headlights but definitely match better than the stock fog bulbs. I'll try to wash the car this weekend and snap some pics.

What size wheels are those and how big is your drop?

[Blake P]

What size wheels are those and how big is your drop?

The wheels are 19x8.5" and I'm not sure how much it's lowered. We just cranked the coils down until there was no more gap between the fenders and top of the tires. I'd guess maybe around 2" from the stock S Line height. I want to go lower...

[the4ringer]

damn son. lookin dope.

[aaron1085]

what size are the wheels and the weight?!

[Blake P]

what size are the wheels and the weight?!

They are 19x8.5" and very light compared to the stock wheels, but I never bothered to weigh them.

[RaudiA4INCHATT]

First, I must say that you have a phenomenal looking car!!! I recently purchased an '09 A4 2.0T and I love it. It handles extremely well and I am pleased but I love the look of your suspension and see you installed the KW V1's on your car. Being the fact I purchased my car CPO I don't want to do anything that could void my warranty. Have you had any issues with the dealer since you made your mods? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
