[michgo]

Great start? I'm almost done! But thanks
2.8 tranny goes in next week, and I hope to finally have a decent tune by late summer.

Nope, they're B6 S4 headlights

Looks good bud - just need some tire dressings.. shine up those bad boys!

Are those tails smoked or just tinted? How dark did you go there?

[Exanimas]

I'm normally not the guy that goes into the thread and says "Paint your lowers!". Because someone always does. However,

PAINT YOUR LOWERS!

You have the whole car blacked out, then you have a flat gray bottom. To me it just doesn't flow. I still like it, I just think it would look better overall with that done.

Normally not a "blacked out" fan but unlike the above post I like the unpainted lowers. I like the contrast. Looks tough.

[Firefighter637]

Nice lookin car! Prob would paint the lowers.

[vinny.dtw]

I vote for badgeless grille and a light tint.

According to dougyfresh -

The 2.8 trans is LONG. I'm having to do my 2000-5000-2000rpm pulls in 2nd gear because I'm hitting 60mph in 2nd gear. The JHM shifter rules all!

[skizsam]

Very nice..just gotta paint the lowers..the blacks don't match

[-Audi_tuning-]

murder that shit!!!! love the look, tint it and leave the lowers, i think it looks sweet... if anything do like the black bumper paint, like euro rub strips only for your lowers, i think itwould look sweet to have the contrast...

[Tgr_Clw]

Chris, the car looks great.

[Maverick]

get a USP front lip and don't paint it. you will have one hot car. like Sleepy's car

[DEMI]

unpainted USP front lip is a different color then unpainted lowers/rear. He would have to get it painted for it to look proper. There is a paint that will make it match the unpainted sides

[bananas]

thanks for the compliments and criticism all.

It's a 3M vinyl, done by a member from Chicago, but I don't know how dark they are in percent. Brake lights are still obvious in full daylight.

I vote for badgeless grille and a light tint.

I'm already tinted, 50% in the front & 35% in the rear (it's hard to tell in the pictures because of the reflections). Any darker and I run the risk of getting constant tint tickets



I am still torn on whether or not to paint the lowers. Since the car is so blacked out, the unpainted lowers is the only real component of contrast, except for the reverse lights and rear rings.

I guess I should do some photoshops of the car with painted lowers and then make up my mind

[KingTurbo]

That looks sick! I was just about to paint my lowers until I saw your pics. A grey USP
front would be bad ass on that.

[fumihiko]

i love it but im not too keen on leaving the quattro on the back.
and keep the lowers unpainted

[RAVI]

looks good.. but i would do a few other things to it.. blackout rear emblem.. s4 grille w/ blacked out emblem and bottom s4 grille .. yellow fogs.. tinted side markers.. all that is under 200-300 bucks.. it would complete the look imo

x2 on all of that except for the yellow fogs. I think the yellow fogs look stupid. I hate it when people get HID's with yellow fogs, full HID just looks way better. it looks way cleaner, especially on black.

But i think that it will look good either way if you leave the lowers or not. Right now it looks sick unpainted because like people have said it's a nice contrast. But then it would also look sick painted too. But if you're gonna paint your lowers you might as well just get a new set of front and rear bumpers with some new sides. USP front with a kerscher splitter looks the best in my opinion as far as fronts go. Sides are more difficult to decide but i like the oettinger sides the best. And i definitely like the rieger rear the best. But i don't know how you feel about mix and matching.

But as far as how it is now, it looks really good as is. Your decision if you want to go any further.

[golgo13]

Maybe if you did something else in flat gray it wouldnt look weird. maybe the outer lining of the upper and lower grill??? I dont know that should be Photoshpd though.

The car over all is not my cup of tea but i can definitely see how you would like it

[04QuattroTurbo]

C&C? It is black...um black...yes, black! It is not the best color available for an Audi; Dolphin Grey...LOL Just messing with you a little, it is very clean, sweet looking car.
