I think that the pics are too dark, so you can't see the where the tire ends and the gap begins. I'm sure it looks lowered if there was more contrast. Looks good, now just get clear corners

i put those exact same wheels on my car today, i love the look, but i need my lowers painted to fully enjoy it, gonna be doin that really soon

**A4_Andre** · 08-16-2004 03:45 PM

to be honest with you, i dont mind the black lowers anymore. i'm sure it'll look much better with painted lowers, but it's alright.

**[]D[][]V[][]D** · 08-16-2004 03:49 PM

ya, i dig it both ways, thats hot though-i need to save some money for a nice set of rims. got that rs4 grill comin hopefully soon. how much is it to get your lowers painted?

**D Piddy** · 08-16-2004 03:59 PM

i'm doin it myself, but i got quoted $850, definitely way too much for the little work done

**A4_Andre** · 08-16-2004 04:05 PM

wtf?! 850? for the price u can probobly get a reiger kit painted

**D Piddy** · 08-16-2004 04:12 PM

i know, but either way, it's still a lot more than i can afford right now, and the $25 in DupliColor paint is just about the right price for me

**SEXICÄN** · 08-16-2004 05:29 PM

i checked out a place that quoted me $750 to paint my lowers, and you are going to paint it yourself for $850?

Looks GREAT! Love the wheels, and I can certainly tell it's lowered! Love it!

**VRsic** · 08-16-2004 05:57 PM

Looks good man. Everytime I see a clean A4 it makes me want mine back, oh wait, i have it back. Haha, i'm took it off consignment so im driving around with a for sale in it.

**ComingSoon** · 08-17-2004 09:02 AM

looks great andre awesome new look

**TheDude** · 08-17-2004 10:55 AM

IMO Painted lowers changes the whole look of the car. Making it look even lower. Its not worth paying 750 dollars for though. I paid 25 dollars and I am real happy with mine.

**SEXICÄN** · 08-17-2004 11:28 AM

i want to paint my lowers but i don't have the time to do it or knowledge to do so either. I don't mind having the black lowers but i wouldn't mind having them painted.

Check out paintscratch.com. They have everything you need to paint your lowers. You can even get the pain with flex additive in it.

Andre your car looks really nice man....even without your lowers painted. I got mine done for $150. But that's because I worked out a deal with the guy plus I work for a dealer. You should be able to have it done for $250 if you don't want the hassle of doing it your self. Either way, nice "whip".....and fliks are the shizznit!

yeah, but from paint scratch all the materials end up costing a lot. the duplicolor route's gonna come out to like $25

**A4 in SC** · 08-17-2004 02:44 PM

I honestly doubt that you'll find your color made by Duplicolor. What about going to the dealer and getting the spray? I'm not sure how much it would take, but I bought a can of 'touch up' Satin Silver from the dealer for $14. (for my old GTI 1.8T). It came w/ a can of clear too. I'm not sure how far a can or two would go though. Just a thought...

**jones3000** · 08-17-2004 02:51 PM

true, but it's still alot cheaper than $850

look at my other thread, numerous people have used the Duplicolor silver and it has matched perfectly, so as soon as i can get my hands on the paint, i'm goin ahead with it
