Love your ride and your wheels. Are you experiencing any rubbing with that wheel setup? Are your wheels poking out from the fenders or are they flush with the fenders. From the pics it looks flush in the back, but in the front maybe it pokes out a little bit?

Which part of the grill? Are you suggesting its an issue with AE, or do you think it'd be a problem with most black-out grills?

yeah, they would probably have to take off the grille. I doubt they would do anything for free though, and I'm not about to drop down more money for a grille I paid 500 for (Black Grille/Labor cost to install). I never thought about sharpie....good thinking hahaha....Let me know how it turns out

MiracleWhips
04-27-2010, 11:29 PM
Sharpie markers make for a quick fill of the chip, but the color will be wrong in the sunlight. It will more than likely have a redish shiny tint to it.....

I would suggest finding a small bottle of flat black model paint for less than $5 and a toothpick. [up]

You will probably find other uses for this bottle of paint as well.

Yeah it was me! I usually wash it like once in 1-2 weeks. I do not have a garage and i want one so badly. I have one of those that u share with ur neighbors which is not fully cover! Does it look dirty? I wanna wash it today but I figured that I will be driving that to sonic ms to install my exhaust and driving down to jhm to install short shifter. It will be dirty after those trips. I will wash it after those things are done!

Are you sure it's a Zeiss? There is no such thing as a Zeiss 85mm 1.2 and they only make them as large as 1.4. Did you mean the Canon 85L 1.2? You live in San Francisco for Christ sake and you have a nice camera, stop taking them in your driveway and on top of garage structures :) Here's a shot of mines using my 5D MK II and a 35L lens.

Ahh yes, the joy of owning a black car and trying to keep it clean. From the pics it looks like you live out in the sunset / inner sunset area. That area gets fog every morning and your freshly washed car will get all that moisture to attract all the dust particles. I couldn't tell if it was dirty or not and I couldn't even make out that it is an S4 until I got really close. The only recognizable feature were the DRL's cause the car was so dark. I'm not a big fan of the "Blackout / murdered" look because you hide all the lines and design features of the car. You lose all the visual cues of the lines, creases, and accents which brings out the wow factor in a nice looking car. All I saw was a dark mass with LED DRL's and even then I was looking hard to look for the S4 badge because it was hard to see. The wheels have a nice design but I like my wheels in silver to highlight the base that your car rides on. I hate brake dust and grime encrusted wheels and dark/gray wheels to me always looks dirty. That's just my opinion though and your car is still beautiful in the pics. You just need to take it to a better location for pics.

I can't find any good place. Anyway my lens was a 1.4 and I sold it. The only thing I blacked out was te grille and rear diffuser. I am dropping my wheels off to redo the color

I just got back from Sonic MS today and installed the AWE Exhaust. The AWE exhaust is not as loud as i thought it would be, but I love how it is. It probabaly will get deeper later on, and I am not trying to push it until i get about 300 miles with it. This is the 1st AWE exhaust and i think is one of the best after market exhaust I ever hard. BTW, i have no issue with drone from this exhaust yet : )

I couldn't install the Adam's rotors because THEY DONT EVEN FIT!!!!! Already contacted them and hopefully I would get a refund. I havent test fit the rears... probably the dont fit either!

For the Short Shifter, I will be going to JHM.

Anyway there is a reason i keep the dealer plate on, and I will take it off when the time is right. I will explain to you if i get a chance to meet with you in person (LONG STORY thats why). Also, i actually bought the b8 before the s4, and then the a4 got totaled. The insurance paid me back everything including tax and license. I was thinking about getting another b8 a4 in black, but then the s4 came out.

Sucks to get into an accident and hope things are OK. My 2007 e92 335 got totaled when a girl ran a red light and pin-balled into my car when I was 100 yds away from my garage door. Insurance company gave me the full MSRP price for the car when I only paid close to invoice so I actually got more money. I went and got another 335i e92 and owned that for 2 years with 32k miles. During that time I had my HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump) replaced 4 times. I complained to BMWNA and they agreed to a buyback, a generous one which I couldn't refuse. So in 3 years I drove 2 different e92 335's for a total of 44k miles practically free because of the accident and the almost full price BMW buyback. It was a bitter sweet experience but I surely don't want to repeat the experience just to drive a new car.

The S4 definitely feels like an upgrade from the 335 in power and smoothness. Steering feel in the BMW is a little better because it feels like you are turning two heavy wheels against pavement compared to Audi's sorta magnetic and artificial steering weight. I'm going to wait for the next generation A6 because I have the feeling it's going to be better than the new BMW 5 series. Once I move out of my city condo and have space for at least 2 cars, I'm gonna get an S6 as the daily driver and get a fun 2 seater for my weekend car. Right now I have to settle for one car in the S4 and I was so close to putting an order in for the F10 550i. I'm going to wait until BMW settles all its fuel delivery issues in their turbos before buying another one.

Yeah exactly..

To the people that get upset over youngsters driving expensive cars you wouldn't survive a day in Beverly Hills area where I live.. I'm just used to it living here. Seeing a 16 year old in a brand new M3 (usually White on Red interior etc.) eating lunch with his friends while on break from Highschool around my office in Beverly Hills happens just about every day.

It really has nothing to do with Audi forums or any other forum. It has to do with the fact that if everyone took this stance, there would be about 5 repeating threads constantly. No one is more important than anyone else, nor is heir time. If you cannot be bothered to even read the thread you are posting to for information or use the search function built into this board (and the internet with things like Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc), it must not be that important to you. Show some effort before asking others to do the work for you is all he is saying.

Yeah we got like 4-5 runs on great highway. Love that road.. S-tronic is very consistent. It shifts perfectly that human skills cannot match. i would pull on each shift the 6mt made. But i do miss a manual transmission! and the AWE sounds great. i think im going to get the AWE exhaust with resonated pipes. but i like the APR tips way better. So im still in the air between AWE and APR until there are more videos of APR. The stock system definitely needs to be replace. Also i would be painting my filler soon and gettin the supercharged badges first.

Looking at these pics the stock chrome accented grill looks better by making the car look classy. It adds depth and contrast whereas the black just seems to get lost with the rest of the car. Just my IMO though. Still nice cars though.

yea im going to get my filler painted black, i want to keep all the chrome where it matches the 4 rings. but i would want the whole grill painted black instead of just the filler and leave the chrome as it is, but thats more $$ and more trouble. The filler piece comes off in 1 min, and is easy to paint.

More than likely, yes. ET40-42 seems to be the safe zone for rub free fitment on 9" wheels with 255's. Why not just use fender friendly tires like Toyo T1R, Toyo Proxes 4, or Nitto INVO so you can go more aggressive?

Yeah, gonna need to do some test fittings. But I actually saw a teaser pic of 20x10" ET35 wearing 255's without rubbing on our cars (in rear). I know staggered set up is pretty stupid on our cars, but interesting nonetheless.

Anyway I went to JHM today to install the short shifter. This is the 1st time I actually do an upgrade on the shifter on a car. Anyway the install was quick and It was done with in hour. I was shock how different it felt. It almost feels like a totally different car. It was so much smoother than the stock when shifting!!If I new s4 b8 owner asked me what is the first mod he should do? I will tell them to get the JHM short shifter. It is not that expensive and is totally worth every penny! If u are getting the JHM, must see the video on their website about the history of Audi shifters and how JHM made theirs the best on the market! I don't think they posted here or YouTube. Btw i took a photo of JHM audis, i will post it later.

I'm curious... How did you adjust the rebound settings on the V2's and how do they compare to your old V1's?

to compare them right now, they are much stiffer than the v1 and I told them that i will be going to the track. I thought it was going to be more bouncy when going over speed bumps since it is more stiff now, however it isn't. I also noticed that there is less roll when making turns comparing to the v1, maybe is because is more stiff and I actually set the car lower than what i had on the v1s. I am sure the feel is gonna be different after awhile since they have not break it yet. I will drive it around this week and will find out what setting I am using on them.

Someone inboxed me like 2 weeks ago to take some pics from the fender so they can see how close my wheels are to the fenders. I was unable to since my v1 was off.

And cheaper than the ADV's.

They probably are made by the same manufacture. ADV is the same owner that had 360 Forged, and he just sold re-branded Modular Concept wheels. I wouldn't doubt the owner is doing the same thing.

From page 10:


20x9" ET35 with 255/30/20 Toyo Proxes 4. The tires are fender friendly, which makes a big difference, IMO.

I was looking to get this grill for my 2012 s4.. I have a 2010 but was offered a great price for it so i'm selling it. I plan on ordering my new s4 in the next day or so which will be in before august and plan on doing a lot of work to the exterior first then engine mods after. Would audi be able to install the part for me?

Same size wheels...same offset? I was thinking of pulling the trigger on these too...so fresh. Just trying to figure out if i want to run 20s or 19s and then everything else on top of that...too many choices.
Oh and whats the turn around time on those?

Hi A4Ber!

One quick question regarding original yellow parking lights. I checked almost all your theads but I could not find the answer how you did it.
If I am correct you have turned off these parking yellow lights some how?
Did you use the following instruction or something else:

Thanks!
