Getting ready for H2O...

[E Dub]

Did a couple quick mods in the past few weeks...

First... a JL Audio W6, 13.5" pushed by a JL Audio 500/1...



Then had the front windshield tinted 50%...



Then I got the car cleaned... A buddy of mine did it... He started at 8:30 this morning, and finished around 5pm... Cleaned EVERYTHING... Looks like it just came off the showroom...

[SLYCAT]

One word, Outstanding!

[Capt. Obvious]

Looks great, but god I hate it when people tint their windshield.

[OneBadAudi]

yeh i cant wait, i cleaned the hell out of the car but some Dick fuckshitbag keyed my quarterpanel today.at college ......


How does that W6 sound?

i was lookin at getn one but didnt know if i wanted that or w7

[eclimax13]

other than the tinted windshield, which is dangerous for everyone, good looking car

[A4ringedONE8T]

Nice, wish I was going to make it back up there for H20!

[E Dub]

Capt... The only reason I did it is because I had lasik, and the sun really bothers my eyes... Even when it isn't sunny out, it still bothers me...


OneBad... Love the W6... This is the first sub I have had in the Audi, so I have nothing to compare it to, sorry...

[agart]

HOLY clean.

[A4TUNE]

nice i used to have one 12" JL and a 250/1 amp and boston acoustic components it was sick.

how did you get red bbs center caps? apparently they are pretty hard to find.

[actlsub9]

Did you do something to your B and C pillars? They look matte.

+1 def not the same as my car.

[Trevor13478]

i'm jealose. I was going to go to h20 but some stuff came up. have fun and takes lots of pics for those less fortunate haha

[Arclight]

Beautiful car, love the stance, see you at H20i

[J3RR3L]

when are you going to detail my ride? LOL wish I was going with the 757 crowd, but the clutch is acting up and still waiting on my fuel pump.
car looks good. gotta see the front tint in person.

[Capt. Obvious]

I've noticed that some are matte and some are glossy.

Mine and Mark's (SKIDMRK) are glossy, but Lindsay's (LilWhiteB6B!ch) are matte, for example.

[AudiA4Style]

Looking good !
S4 rear would finish off the look and I would paint the area around the fog lights matte black.

[dubenvy]

i think it's a vin split.....02 and 03 vs. 04 and 05

[audikid66]

stoked for h20! car looks great! im gettin my s4 brakes and drilled/slotted rotors on tomorro :) when are all you guys gettin there and where you staying? ill be at comfort inn gold coast friday around noonish... come party

[4Rings3Liters]

That looks clean, but I think the weather is supposed to be bad for this weekend.

[JBM]

btw get rid of that badge on teh back of your car

[A4 in SC]

I think it looks GREAT! The wheels look perfect, and of course, it's simply too clean (no, I know isn't such a thing as too clean). After H2O, you have to get it out and get it dirty again!

Regarding tint, I personally like them when they're tinted 50% all the way around, including the windshield. My right eye doesn't dilate at all, so I can *feel* your pain. That's why you'll hardly ever see me outside in the sun without my sunglasses on. That, or I'll be squinting my right eye.

I haven't been to H2O in several years but would love to go back one day.

[vdubstreets]

will you be showing?

[JerseyShoreA4]

Cant wait to see the car at H2O. Really nice looking ride. I love those wheels, they're one of my top choices when I'm ready to buy.

[mxrz]

Capt... The only reason I did it is because I had lasik, and the sun really bothers my eyes... Even when it isn't sunny out, it still bothers me.

That's why they have these pieces of tinted glass you put in front of your eyes, I think they call them sunglasses. Might wanna look into that.

[OneBadAudi]

im goin down thursday and stayin at a house on the bay side on the water at 101 street....

OT, but mine doesn't close up at all - it's permanently larger, so i too feel both your pain(s?)

car looks great, wish i was gonna make it but i have bigger fish to fry

[Will_02_A4]

E Dub, weren't you the one heading over to Stratmosphere for the V-Maxx coil test fit yesterday. If so, what was your impression?

[Exanimas]

Orrrr, he could just leave his windshield tinted and not have to worry about sunglasses.

[E Dub]

It is nice to know some folks... (see signature... LoL)

i'm jealose. I was going to go to h20 but some stuff came up. have fun and takes lots of pics for those less fortunate haha

Will do, sorry you cannot make it...

Beautiful car, love the stance, see you at H20i

Yes, you will!!

stoked for h20! car looks great! im gettin my s4 brakes and drilled/slotted rotors on tomorro :) when are all you guys gettin there and where you staying? ill be at comfort inn gold coast friday around noonish... come party

I am staying on 48th st... right across from Seacrets... Should be there around 1/2pm Friday

Yes I will

E Dub, weren't you the one heading over to Stratmosphere for the V-Maxx coil test fit yesterday. If so, what was your impression?

Nope, sorry... I love my Koni's

[OneBadAudi]

Is anyone else as excited as i am for H20....this is my time to relax, drink a little sum sum and look at some nice cars......Hope to see u guys there..im gonna be on the strip all day..hahaha, hopefully the rain holds out for us cuz it looks bad on the weather channel...

[outkasta4]

Looks great, someday I will break down and get some ch's they look great

[dougyfresh]

Interesting. I'd love to have mine matte. Might take 'em off and paint them. I've got some other 'mods' brewing in my mind for next year. Cosmetic things since the drivetrain is done.


I'd also love to go down to H2Oi but, alas, no Avant right now . and it looks like rain all weekend (up here). Guess I'll finally get around to cleaning that basement and rewiring/insulating it.

[DownhillA4]

Car looks really good, cleanly done! Everything flows real well...just not 100% sold on the lights but that's me, still unique without a doubt.

[mxrz]

The point was already made, it's unsafe. Sunglasses, unlike window tint, do not distort detail/sharpness, and at night, you can take them off, which can't be said for windshield tint. It’s a poor excuse. I had laser eye surgery myself, the older, PRK kind, which makes the eyes a lot more sensitive to sunlight than Lasik, since the outer most layer of the eye is completely removed during the procedure and has to grow back over time, whereas Lasik requires the surface to be cut, peeled away for the procedure and then placed back… Anyway, I used it as an excuse to wear sunglasses in school But I wouldn’t do it for something as stupid as tinting the windshield.

[E Dub]

Mxrz... I misspoke, I had PRK.... I always get them confussed... Anyway, no need to start a pissing match over tint... It isn't super dark, only 50%, and I like and paid for it...

/story

P.S. read signature... LoL

[sandspeed]

Very nice. I might just have to get another set of CHs in 19".

how did you get red bbs center caps? apparently they are pretty hard to find.

I can source just about any kind of BBS center caps you need. Just tell me what diameter in mm and what design you want and I'll track them down.

[vdubstreets]

I will see you there then

We can agree to disagree. Knowing the dangers, I stand by my opinion that windshield tinting is irresponsible. I would probably say nothing if it was 75% but 50% is half of all the light being blocked, it's too much.

[GrkA4]

Just curious, is it difficult to see at all at night with the 50% tint? I basically was talked out of doing it by people who claimed that it was difficult to see at night even with a light tint. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

Good luck at H2O, I won't be down this year so take a lot of pictures!

[E Dub]

I have not had issues... Even last noight with it raining (down pour) I didn't have any issues seeing...
