You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello

**E Dub** · 12-15-2008 01:16 PM

As some of you know, I am currently in Iraq.

Since I am here, and have no use for the car, it is going to get some work done. It will be in the body shop for 2-3 months, and get out of the shop just before I get home from over here. The body shop will be taking pics as they go, so hopefully I will be able to share everything with you as I see things happening.

As she sits now:

Now reading my signature will give you part of the details, but not everything will be told until I get home and get a proper photoshoot. There will be a complete color change coming as well as bigger brakes and some other goodies...

**E Dub** · 12-15-2008 01:18 PM

I need to thank Greg at Oettinger of America for the SICK price on the front and sides!!

**italian a4 1032** · 12-15-2008 01:18 PM

**E Dub** · 12-15-2008 01:20 PM

Wow, quick replies here...

Italian - No sides and front have been sold...

Wid - I have a friend how is hooking me up, so I cannot give you a fair estimate on the price...

**italian a4 1032** · 12-15-2008 01:22 PM

**MurderedA4*20** · 12-15-2008 01:51 PM

**cab7a4** · 12-15-2008 01:51 PM

Be safe and best of luck!!! I was in OIF 3 in FOB Kalsu, i know what its like.

**Peoples-2** · 12-15-2008 02:22 PM

Car looks nice as is..can't wait to see what you are getting done to it.

Quick question: What percent tint is that?

**Capt. Obvious** · 12-15-2008 02:28 PM

Your car looks pretty much perfect right now in my eyes, it better look downright ridiculous when it gets out of the shop!

**piaadoll** · 12-15-2008 02:36 PM

i agree /\ car looks great as is. Can't wait what the transformation will bring.

x2 hope the paint job is just nasty, as dolphin grey looks sick too! imo I wouldnt change the color.

but now I cant wait to see the finished product!

Oh and keeping the wheels?

**QTC** · 12-15-2008 03:16 PM

Looking forward to seeing the results; stay safe over there

**Nor-Cal'N** · 12-15-2008 05:16 PM

Booo; keep the color. I think its awesome. Looking at it now though whatever you do with it will turn out amazing I am sure.

Keep us posted.

**A4SoftWalker** · 12-15-2008 05:32 PM

Did my time too. Stay alert & be safe too. Not a bad time to go... 'cept for the mud.

seriously... less is more. But i love how your car looks in that pic. Exactly what i want mine to eventually be, only with the wheels in black finish. And i really mean that, same kit (at least front and sides), same wheels, and i already have the ride height but i want some C/O's. Very sexy car dude.

**Arclight** · 12-15-2008 06:18 PM

Looking forward to the final result...

Most importantly, thanks for your service and stay safe over there!

Can you believe we haven't gotten any rain yet?? So no rain = no mud

And my paint job is $2300 including door jambs, trunk and under hood, also fitting the new kit, removing the old kit, fixing wheels, and doing a couple other little things...

Thanks for all the comments guys, and don't worry I will stay safe
