New to the S4 world... What are the most popular cosmetic upgrades?

[drew4392]

I'm coming from a BMW 335i, and the most popular yet inexpensive cosmetic mods were: black grill, window trim (if chrome), blackline tail lights, spoiler lip.......

Wondering what similar mods are for our S4s? I already installed tint and black vinyl window wrapping, and wondering what else is available that is relatively easy, looks good, and doesn't break the bank.

Thanks!

lipstick seems to be popular these days. Also eyeliner.

Tough crowd. Plasti dip is cheap. Have fun.

I don't know about most popular, but EuroGEAR sells a nice carbon fiber front lip spoiler and aggressive rear valence to match. Nice drop, wheels and you're well on your way in the looks department...

OP look at chips for your car. http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_30tfsi_b8s4.html or look at REVO, or UNITRONIC. all are quality tuning companies with good reliability.

EDIT: sorry when i read your post i didnt notice that you were talking specifically about cosmetic mods

[svander]

Software isn't much of a cosmetic modification though :P

Those VMR wheels are EVERYWHERE. Definitely has to be the most popular cosmetic modification to these cars.

Why do you want the most popular? That just makes you look like everyone else!

the lipstick is cool

Welcome to the forum! As a group, we are usually a little helpful and a little snide as well.
As far as cosmetic things go, I have done most of the usual....
1.) Tint
2.) CF front splitter
3.) CF rear diffuser
4.) R8 coolant and oil engine caps
5.) New wheels (I just ordered 20")
6.) Vag-Com
- delete amber side markers
- dissble DRL wink
7.) Lowering coming this spring - subtle, I'm going to see what I need with the 20" wheels.
8.) APR/Carbonio intake may be considered partly cosmetic as it adds a big slab of CF in the engine bay.
9.) LED replacement bulbs - most guys do the license plate lights at least
10.) Hoen Xenon match or yellow bulbs for the fog lights.
11.) Debadged the front fenders
12.) and then of course, the most important cosmetic thing for your car is an appropraite detailing regimine. I suggest Detailer'sDomain.com (Phil is a member here with an S4, 10% discount on supplies) or DetailedImage.com for both supplies and information.

Not sure why everyone hates it so much, its just a standard roof spoiler. lol

I dislike the spoiler as well.

On topic, you can see some affordable non-cosmetic upgrades in my signature. They can all be done in your garage or driveway too if you enjoy weekend projects.

Supercharger badges are a nice touch.

[Pgr1990]

Black front grill/license plate filler and supercharged badges were enough for me.. I guess it depends on how crazy you want to get.

[dgszweda]

I'll have to agree.

It looks like in that picture, there is tape holding that roof spoiler on.

[rhythm16]

So far I have gone with supercharged badges, led license plate lights, and tint. Nothing crazy but certainly adds to the appearance imho.
Front plate filler in the future.

[helix139]

You should definitely get some speed holes. They are very popular. See Voltron's thread in the Chatterbox.

Thanks! Plenty to chew on from this.
