    Ha, my front bumper needs a repaint, but i clayed/polished/waxed the car a couple weeks ago, so it still has a good wet shine on it.

    It will be lowered eventually, its still on sport suspension.
    Its a little murdered, but not really. Would have tinted my tails, 5% the windows, and got all black rims if i was goin down that route, but i wanted some contrast.

    Re: Better pics w/new wheels

    Ha, its very easy, i did it myself. Pop them out. Get some black spray paint and clear coat. 2 layers of each. Then i polished and waxed the lights, bamn, matches the gloss and paint perfect.
    Also, i took out the bulbs, so they dont blink when i lock/unlock my car and when i put on my signals
    BTW, take off your front plate and put the tinted cover on the rear, makes your car looks 3x better.

    Re: Better pics w/new wheels

    This is going to be a real noob question, but how do you go about painting the trim of the RS4 grill black? I never painted something like that, and would like to do it in the near future. Can you PM me the procedure or post it here(I have no painting experience and would not want blotches and such)? Thanks!

    Re: Better pics w/new wheels

    Take off the grill, clean the area you want to paint, then put a couple layers of primer over the chrome, then get some black spray spray paint. Put 2-3 coats of that over the primer, and then 3-4 coats of clear over the paint. Let it dry, and put it back on.

    Do it then. You literally could sell you shit on eBay.

    Car looks good. I'm very jealous that I can't have a car that's that clean.

    First off, who has chrome? Second, you don't paint chrome... Third, 1.8t's don't come with chrome around the windows, 2.8's did...

    Re: Better pics w/new wheels

    Thanks for all the comments. Originally, when i bought this car. The paint was in terrible condition as it was neglected by the previous owner(s). After countless hours of trying to fix and protect it, its still needs a lot of work (if you look close). But ya, after a couple of times of claying/polishing/wax, black cars will shine through with its wet coat : ), buts its been a struggle, and of course to keep this car clean is impossible...
    BTW, yesterday my brother backed in my pass side door! So its goin to the body shop...
