Winterized The S4 (Pics)

[CONTROL ONE]

It's been more non-stop on my car than anything that should resemble a vacation, but I'm happy with the results.

1. Seafoamed the car (vacuum, crankcase & fuel)
2. Replaced front brake pads with PBR Ceramic
3. Painted OEM Avus S4 rims flat black with clear coat so now they are more of a matte.
4. Refinished new shift knob in black to match interior
5. Cut 1.5" from stock shifter to accommodate longer shift knob
6. Washed and waxed

And the results:

I can really appreciate the winterizing of the car and taking good care of it, its good to see people still do this on here, but I have to ask......WTFFFFFF is on your shifter??

I think that's the Momo knob. I had one on my Eclipse when I bought it, hated it, so I quickly sold it.

I was more or less being your average aw prick.

Looks good. Where did you get your tires?

[BurnAll4S4]

you work on a scissor jack? jesus help you.

You would be right, it's the Momo Raptor. I was lured in by the blue alcantera, lol. After a little getting used to, I quite like it now. God forbid, I know, it's not OEM.

Tires - I was fortunate enough to get 2 sets of rims/tires when I bought the car in March.

Scissor jack - I don't see what the big deal is, I wasn't underneath the car at any time and with the spare tire underneath the car, there's pretty much zero chance of injuring myself. If I was doing anything more involved, I would use my jack, jack stands and/or ramps.

true but ive had way to many of those those fall over on me even with the spare tire there in my BMW days to trust one

[CONTROL ONE]

Fair enough, I'll probably just stick to my normal jack then. It was simply a matter of convenience.
