UPDATED PICS: Few Additions Added,opinions welcome

[CheesmoS4]

Well it being a long weekend i thought i might take a few pics of the few additions i made to the car. I put the in.pro mirrors on and i thought i might take pics of my iforged senekas that i had powdercoated to black. I also put in the new AWE boost guage that i had to put in the ECS pod i had to customize it cause the pod opening was for a 60mm and the boost guage is 45mm. I think it turned out great (and i bought the ECS pod before the new designed podi came out). The car is dirty and i am gonna clean her up with some menzerna products and the porter cable. But here are the pics... opinions and critcism are welcome (sorry these pics are off my BB curve)

Wheels Before


Wheels and mirrors






Boost Guage One and Two (colors match great with stock at night by the way)



Back Up Camera hidden in rear license plate frame works great with Avic Z1




I did buy some DEPOS this past week so the amber will be gone from the corners and should help the light intensity with the 55w 6000k kit that i have!

[nizmosx]

for some reason i like the before better. maybe because its a better picture.

[Silverstreak98]

x2........also you went to having clear corners to not have them?

[torment]

i like the before wheels better

[CheesmoS4]

x2........also you went to having clear corners to not have them?

yeah i had to go back to the old ones because the cc mod was making moisture in the housings. that is the only reason why.

I will take better pics with my camera tonight and post them up. These pics dont do the new rims justice.

[infinkc]

[2k1audiS4]

Sorry to say but I agree with everyone.....Before was hawt!

[///M3 TO S4]

[AB18]

Before looks waaaay better.

[Overboostin]

How do you like the inpros? Did they fit all right?

[rick_chicago]

[McKennaS4]

lol poor guy, you did this to yourself. throw the depos in and take some high res (or even a freakin point and shoot) pics and ppl will change their view. i think the car looks great man.

[McKennaS4]

B4 ftw

[thebigchu]

I vote b4.

[BlackS4TT(Josh)]

I'm with everyone else... before looks much better.

[DannyDeez]

The before was better IMO.

[eurofvr]

I agree, it looked way better before. Now tint your tails, windows, markers and paint your mirrors black and it'll look hot again.

[S4M3]

yep before...

[///M3 TO S4]

btw what wheels? iforged monaco??

does no one around here actually read anymore? I swear to god some of you are hopeless w/o this forum.....

[gointoscott]

What did you do to those rims?

To each his own, but I agree with most everyone. They looked better before.

In fact those are the exact wheels I'd like get for my S4, but I'd keep them the way they were.

[Krzano]

I like the before look.

[CheesmoS4]

i just took some better pics with the digi cam so i will post those when i get to work. Thanks for the all the opinions though it is much appreciated

[NastyNogaro]

Like both before & after, although maybe I missed this but why did you go back to non CC'd headlights in the after pic?

Edit: nvm just read the whole thread and the moisture issue. Go back to cleared headlights and the car will look even better!

Good lookin' S4

[CheesmoS4]

btw what wheels? iforged monaco??

Iforged Senekas 19x8 with extended 2in lip in the rears. Gives the staggered look

How do you like the inpros? Did they fit all right?

The inpros fit really nice and for the money look pretty damn good. The only problem i had was one of the little screws at the bottom of the housing was seized into the plastic so i had to drill out the head and take the screw out in that manner. Other then that, no problems and pretty easy to do.

[highPSI-S4]

the before does look hotter, but like someone else said if you do some others upgrades like tint and carbonhood etc...it would help. still think the first is better....alot cleaner look too.

[GramCracker]

How did you put on the mirror covers? I have a set, but I can't get my stockers off.

[CheesmoS4]

You need aim your mirrors to the Up or Down position (do not try to pry mirror off from left to right or vice versa). With a plastic piece u need to take your mirror off CAREFULLY just pry it off and you will hear it pop off. Then disconnect all the wires connected to the mirror. Then there are TWO little phillips screws in the bottom take those off, and then undo three tabs which u can miss and the whole housing will come. Just put on the inpro mirrors in the reverse order you took the stock ones off!

I just took my time with it, and its pretty self explanatory once you take the mirror off you will see all the tabs and and the two screws i was talking about.

i'm very hopeless without this forum you're right dood. i missed where he said they were senekas which is what i intially thought they were despite not liking iforged wheels (the company). i was here before you and if you'd like to have a knowledge contest on b5s4s or aftermarket wheels lmk. fvckin az... sry im having a bad day and i hate to see a guy ripped apart where all he did was get mirrors that are generally accepted, paint his wheels black which others do all the time, and put back in real undrilled/ghetto modified headllights that are oem and look nice imo. i know he asked for opinions so i guess its fine but i felt bad fr him regardless otherwise i'd never even post.

Ok, I honest to god cannot get the two screws off. I can get the outer one, but I cant really get to the inner one, I dont want to strip the screw (cause thats whats going to happen). How'd you got the inner ones out w/o stripping them?

Well i bent the mirror outwards a as far as it went to get a better angle. The one screw was stripped cause the heads on those screws are stupid. So i had to take the housing out and drill it out and so forth. Just be patient and use a small phillips screw driver.

Thanks for backing me up i appreciate it, but i asked for opinions and i got what i wanted. I dont mind critcism, just gives me ideas on what to do and what not to do... At the end of the day it is my car and i am still gonna do what i want to do. I dont think the rims look bad at all, the reason why i did powder coat them black was because the silver ones before just got too freakin dirty for my taste. I am not talking about the outside cause that is easy to clean, but i am talking about the inside of the rim to... It being black, it hides it for the time being till i take the wheels off and clean in the inside of it. As for the mirrors it adds to the car cause it goes with aluminum accents of the rim and my grill. But thanks to everyone for their opinions they are greatly appreciated and not hated upon at all :)
