Meet Shanice...

[mattman]

It all started two years ago....

The day i picked her up:


soon after, it was time to start modding....
started with the simple things....the n00b things......
painted lowers and Delsa Motorsports trunk lip.


Needed some tunes....so an AVIC-D3 seemed like a good match.

along with a little something extra.....


Soon after, it was time for a GIAC 1+ flash with siemens 380cc injectors and a Forge 007 diverter valve.....

After a long ass winter, it was time to celebrate our anniversary, so Shanice got some new shoes and Stasis SS coilovers, and short after an RS4 rear swaybar to tie the package together



Somewhere between that time, i clear cornered the headlights too :-p

Then i struck gold. found a wrecked S4....so....I got me a new bumper for a bag of pennies.....and of course....debadged her.


One more summer was drawing to an end...so more mods were a must :-D
This stock grill was making me itch, and there was nothing aftermarket i liked....so the attempt to make an RS4 style grill for a B6 was on....(thanks for the spare girlle Elton!)




a lower grill to match my newly molded Ultrasport (Thanks Neil for the hookup on the USP lower) front bumper was also built.
OEM Xenon housings replaced my weak halogens, and Hoen xenon match foglights replaced the stockers to match the headlights (again, thanks Elton for your OEM housings)

and around the same time, red LED interior lighting (thanks James!)


So over the winter, I was itching to change something on her....but what?
Got some goodies for christmas to keep me sane for a few more months...
Podi Boost gauge package (with electric stepper motor)

Along with my new JHM shorthrow shifter


Decided to colour-match the wheels...glad i did




well thats how she stands today.....
by no means is she done.....

this is only the beginning

Nice car. Certainly came a long way. Looks much better with the USP/S4 bumpers and now that the wheels are silver.

[A4Shizl]

Great looking car man. I love those red interior leds. Is there any chance you could shoot me the link to where you bought them? And how hard were they to install?

[Quattro]

very sweet looking car, love the rs4 looking grill!

Great looking car man. I love those red interior leds. Is there any chance you could shoot me the link to where you bought them? And how hard were they to install?

Thanks! The LEDs are super-easy to install. They're LED panels with double sided tape, wired to a stock-styled bayonette bulb. Get a butter knife, wrap the tip in electrical tape, then use it to pry off your dome-light cover (same for the rear map lights).
I wish I could tell you where to buy them, however, a friend bought them from me off one of his friends who has a shop. So I can't really tell you my true source haha sorry!

[guyb]

Yeah I wondered about that. I found a site called tunerdomes that sells them, I wondered if you had them because they appear to be simple PnP. And the kit is pretty reasonably priced. I guess I'll either have to bite the bullet or buy them myself. I just kind of feel like if I got the red leds it would look really clean when I unlock the car at night and there is just a light red glow behind my tint.

Also is that grill mesh metal or the plastic from germany? And what did you use to attach it to the grill?

The LEDs definitely look sick at night when you unlock the car haha. I have herd of tunerdomes, I think i've seen them advertise in Eurotuner before.
As for the grille, everything you need to know is right here
It is metal. I wish it was plastic.

[Gavlar]

What Subaru splitter are you using as it looks wicked. Top motor mate

[DiscoPotato]

Love it. I admire the craftsmanship on the grill. It came out great!!
