Hey everyone,

I figured it was about time I put one of these together. I've had my 2015 Nogaro Edition S4 for about 3 years now and while I made some questionable decisions at the start I do think I'm headed in the right direction. I thought about how I should do this and decided to post how the car currently sits and then make updates as time goes on. Additionally, I will only post what has been done to the car, not what I'm planning on doing (but I will include a small teaser at the end of the photos).

Sorry in advance but I often address the car as "The Nog."

FBO APR Hardware (Throttle body, dual pulley, and CAI)

This was a fun one. Over the course of 4 months SwoopsBuilt and @slavchob put together a long time dream of mine. What started out as a donor trunk from @i.build.avants' s4 donor and an RS5 deck lid off eBay turned into a functional active spoiler on the Nog. We shot to make this look as OEM as possible, something a little IYKYK. To accomplish this, Swoops managed to use all OEM buttons, sealants, and harnesses; even managing to retain the S4's trunk line (it's fooled a couple Audi techs). Currently we are using a custom control system that makes use of the OEM RS5 coin slot button and we are attempting to integrate the OEM active aero module to give us speed control as well.

You lost me at APR FBO and 034 software. IDK why anyone would have a reason to do that.

APR has the best software out of the big tuning houses. I would go with Jackal after having both though.

Do some research on 034 software even on this forum. They don't have a great track record compared to other companies. In the end its your car, do whatever you want.

Reason was I had APR hardware + software but no longer had access to an APR dealer and made the switch before APR offered self tuning. At this point I'm done putting mod money into the engine as it won't be around for much longer.

I have seen this car on my feed a few times and its very cool to see the build on Audizine! That RS5 trunk spoiler integration along with how the rest of the car is put together looks basically perfect to me. Love that you retained all the silver/chrome accents as I always felt like they matched better with the Audi blues. Are you planning on selling the s4 soon?

This is so nice! Thanks for showing the trunk stuff!

This is a great looking car, love that spoiler controller.

I'm happy you're seeing the same vision as me! Always loved the silver accents, they definitely belong on with the noggy. No plans to ever sell it haha

I've seen this pop up on IG a few times and absolutely love what you've done. Love that you kept the Alu Optic look, the RS5 spoiler is the icing on the cake as well!

What's the ride comfort like on those 20s? They look so good I often contemplate switching from my 19s but fear it might not be enough sidewall for daily use haha
