i love the wood when the sun is on it but for my sprint blue/alumninum trim i really wished i had silver carbon fiber trim.....

So I am leaning toward of getting that done first.
As far as rims, the stock 18" look a bit small in photos, but in real life I think it looks perfect. My 650i have 19" stock and looks great, but at the same time bigger wheel well. 18" will also be lighter, O.Z. Ultraleggera 18.6lbs for 18" and 20.6lbs for 19". The stock 18" on my car is around 27-28lbs. As far as color, I was thinking of getting bright silver to maintain its luxury looks, black will give you tuner looks. Hope that helps.

I actually have the OZ Ultraleggera's in 18". Good information there. Mine came with the car so I have no idea the weight. Glad to know I saved about 10lbs.

^That gray on gray looks very cool; especially with the red interior. I am holding up on the exhaust for now since someone just hit and run my car. Just some scratches on the rear bumper and valance ($500-600 repair job). I checked to my audi dealer today for pricing on the valance, it turns out they charge $260 for the valance alone, 20% off with my supplier discount. For that much money, I think I will send it in to get it cover with carbon fiber. Does anyone know any carbon fiber fabricator in SoCal, around Orange County area?

Why not just color-match it? I paid a decent price for mine. Something like $200 to paint the rear diffuser, the front grill emblems and filler plate. And to install the RS4 grill and HID fogs as well.

why is the rear end of the B7 so B6 looking?

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I had to check the thread title because I could have sworn it was a B6.

the cabriolet ass stayed the same on the b7s. just the front end is different... well i take that back, the valance did change to accomodate quad tip exhaust
