    only jkin man. i like the s5 cab ( only with top down of course ). what color is ur car?

    oh and i recommend getting a full interior/license plate LED set. change out the fog bulbs to colormatch it with LEDS, front plate filler w/ a show and go. black optics grill, dipstick to check oil ( more accurate than the MMI oil level check IMO) ecodes if u have the money to waste

    That hurts man! but I totally agree with you. It does look best with top down!!!

    Here is what I would do in order:

    clear bra
    full paint seal using gtechniq C1+ and C1.5
    vagcom voice command (this is disabled for cabrios)
    ecodes
    black ops grill (depending on the color of your car)
    Eurogear carbon fiber splitter and valence (again depending on color of car)
    SPC Adjustable Upper Control Arms to get your camber back in spec after you lower the car.

    Oh yeah, post pics!

    STaSIS told me this was the first one issued for this package, it replaces the Quattro badge on the dash with one that says "STaSIS #421"

    Why do I have this strange feeling to research and mod? Can't get it out of my mind, going crazy. Need more money!

    Seems like you've done the majority of the mods. All others to come will be for aesthetics, care, and/or preference. You have done all performance mods possible as well as the big aesthetics.
    Tommy's ride is awesome so I'm sure you can get a few ideas from checking out his thread.

    Congrats on the cab, and post more pics of her.
