    I am actually doing something a little different with the roof... Because there are hail dents, im going to make a Carbon fiber roof overlay. But i am definitely thinking s4 skirts. Also, I plan to paint the sides of the hood to tie it into the rest of the car a little. What do you think about the trunk? Leave it how it is or paint part of it?

    Thanks, and keep the votes coming!

    Oh yea, and the wheels all have some curbage, what do you guys think about painting them a darker color after some repair?

    Re: What should i do about my sideskirts?

    I think dark wheels get boring. I've never kept a dark set of wheels for a long time.

    I would like to see the cf trunk color matched. but leave the area between the crease lines in cf. In another words have the CF follow the lines of the top and bottom of the tail lights.

    Re: What should i do about my sideskirts?

    S4 skirts and some sort of a rear lip/valence. Roof black, paint the lower door trim silver.

    Those skirts are HANEOUS! I wouldn't plan on selling those because I don't know who would buy those. S4 skirts would look clean but I would drop that biatch asap.

    Those skits wouldnt be that bad if your lower door trim was silver, and your rear valance was the same hight from the ground as the side skirt and front bumper.

    The Rieger skirts look good when they are done properly:



    Take care of that lower door trim, and then get a suspension on there.

    Re: What should i do about my sideskirts?

    remove lower door molding and shave off the holes/fill

    that can be a little expensive, you can use trim guard instead if you don't want to spend money on shaving off the lower door moldings

    Those lower door moldings look far worse than the side skirts. Lose the molding and then go from there.

    The S4 side skirts would look awesome with the shaved and filled lower molding.

    Re: What should i do about my sideskirts?

    s4 skirts. I wouldn't paint the wheels. I think it may get old after awhile. Carbon fiber roof overlay would be sick, definitely keep us updated on that one.


    btw, what did the previous owner say about those seats?
