Since many of us have spouses whom are asking us what we want, I thought I would start a fun little thread.... So:
Milltek resonated valvesonic
AMS downpipes
Stage 2 tune
TCU tune
HREs 20x9.5 ET 38ish or 20x9 ET 32ish
MPSS for the HREs
RS6 front bumper
A LOT of carbon fiber goodies
Better sounds inside the car (I’m Bose)

My family has had a rough year with health issues, but hopefully 2018 is better.
Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season.
Jeff

Haha! Awesome list. My wife is letting me get my Neidfaktor interior I’ve been pestering her about. So no complaints. Sorry about the rough year you had. Life is short. Enjoy everyday as much as you can and have a wonderful holiday season as well!

Great list! Difficult to argue with any one of those things. I'm scared to write mine down for fear it'll motivate me to rationalize pulling the trigger...

Doc - good luck with the NF interior. I'll probably shouldn't admit this on a forum full of speed junkies, but other than the stage 1 tune, that is probably my single favorite thing I did on my car. You just get so much appreciation out of it because you see it every time you sit down. Paying for it stinks, but you won't regret it.

I'm all set to pick an exhaust. If only someone in so cal would have a deal on the s6 model akra with install, I'd be on my way tomorrow >_<

I see some really good sales on milltek, but I wonder if the non-resonated + valvesonic is mild enough in "comfort" mode to keep the car quietish when I don't want to sound like a hooligan--hence looking at the akra :|

Trade me wives, please.

On a serious note, great list!

Well, on the wives thing....

Can you handle a Redhead?

As for my list, it’s just wishful thinking right now. I ended up spending my mod money on medical bills this year, plus quite a bit more. I’m not sure if/when I will be modding the car. I’ve been an auto technician for 20 years and my body is starting to fail me (I’m getting old and don’t heal as quickly), I’m kind of looking at possibly changing careers. Just not sure what to. My wife, daughter, and son all had surgeries since July. All of this makes me want to just spend more of my time with them instead of working (I am working 7 days a week now).

I have been pestering my wife to let me get an S6 and she finally caved. Now the hunt is on for a used one with decent mileage and optioned the way I want.

OP all the best with health issues. Those can get expensive very quick in the US.
