I'm looking for the best audi dealership w/the best pricing on the votex kit. I know ECS, clair, etc etc has them but I heard dealerships may be cheaper than these performance shops.

Also, anyone seen the fiberglass 3 pieces spoiler on ebay. How does it compare w/the oem votex version? It's only $300 painted!

Also, any pictures of ocean pearl blue w/s4 side flares unpainted?

Last, does chipping decrease your gas mileage? Is APR the only one that uses oem chip and can be reverted back to stock?

Haha..one more, does Quattro AWD mean that I can take it up to the snow w/o any chains?


Last one, I promise...Where can I get POLARG ION YELLOW H11 bulbs for the fogs? What are the best xenon-like H7 bulbs for the low beams?

Thanks in advance!

I can answer two more:

yes, your MPG will go down a little, especially because you'll be pushing the car more because it'll be so damn much fun!

For yellow-ion fogs, you can look at either Hoen or SPP (I had 80W SPP Ion Yellows before my HIDs, and man were they awesome.). If you want to take it up another notch, get 3,000K HID fogs from overboostpsi. HID-match bulbs you can also get from Hoen.

Yes, EP =) My blue M3 is still around. This Audi is just my daily for now. Can't over mod it like my m3. Modding can be too much

Clair is actually a dealer, not a performance shop. I have to pay sales tax if I order from them, so they're not usually my first choice.

Up to the snow......

Well you certainly have more control in the snow but your breaking will not be any different than a FWD car. The chains will help with breaking. You will have no problem going up snowy hills though.

Know what I mean?

Screw chains . With Quattro , all you need are some good winter tires [up]

Now way man.

We're talking snow traction when breaking.

Drive wheels have no play in breaking, comming to a stop.

Were not talking about corrective action, or rally racing [:d].

It becomes snow tire vs. snow tire + Chain.

What do you think is better for breaking?
