    Re: call me a pussy but....

    Coilovers & rims (with DG I would go with nothing darker then gunmetal IMO)...door blades, painted lowers, front, rear, widow tint, clear corners, debadge (personal pref), grill blackout (personal Pref).

    IN THAT ORDER OR YOUR CAR WILL BLOW UP!!!!!

    not really...

    You're not a pussy, there are plenty of people on here that don't do engine mods. Eevryone has their reason, even if it is only for the time being. Suspension and wheels first. Then a body kit if need be.

    Both are quality products. I plan on getting a set of iForged and Bilsteins.... well I'd get them if they weren't so damn expensive, but I hear from others that they are worth it.

    It's a chip tuning company that has a couple of different files for our cars. The "Big 3" are APR, GIAC, and REVO.

    There's nothing wrong with not doing engine mods due to warrenty issues, TyPiNg LiKe ThIs on the other hand...

    Suspension first, then wheels. I just ordered a set of Vogtland coilovers which should be in tomorrow along with a RS4 rear sway. And wheels should be in next month.

    PUSSY!... Just kidding... lately AZ has bee having some STRANGE ass post titles. Guess it got my attention

    I have the revo "Software" and LOVE it. Big bang for relatively not a lot of buck. From what I know, it's different than the other big chip mod names because it is actually burned onto your stock ecu (car's computer) instead of replacing the whole thing. From what I also know, it's used more often in Porches than the other 2. Not that it means anything but, I have MAD respect for Porsche so I thought it was cool.

    One of the best pieces of advice I got on here was to get a chip/software from a shop that is local to you and well respected. This will help if you ever need it reset because they'll usually do it for free. Then again, you don't want to do engine mods. If you do decide to do just 1, this is the one I recommend.

    I also have dolphin gray and couldn't decide between black or hyperblack wheels. I ended up going with hyperblack and am very glad I did. I recommend checking that color out... it's more unique IMO. I also recommend sticking with euro style wheels for our car. Ones that aren't shinny and have a decent amount of spokes (google image search BBS wheels). Shinny, SUV or muscle car type wheels look like trash on our cars. Just my 2 cents.

    Good luck.

    Re: call me a pussy but....

    Suspension first--always IMO. It is the most noticeable improvement aside from going BT.
    Plus, when you do get wheels you want you won't be looking at your car going "Damn, my fancy new wheels make my car look like a monster truck!"

    Also get coilovers; you can afford them with your $3000, start watching the AZ classifieds.

    Oh yeah; “Pussy” hahaha!

    I think that you should probably go back to school and learn how to write correctly. Then sell your car and just take the bus.

    If by "burned in" you mean a flash, all chip companies do this now. They just hook up a device to your OBDII port and simply rewrite the ECU w/ the new tuning.

    Haha, sorry but this made me laugh.
