Nice Sebastian! Tint is mandatory on a white car. It's so mean it's scaring the birds!

[Mops@Nemesis]

Looks great! Hope you got the clutch issues sorted out.

[marinse]

Thanks y'all!

I'm glad it came with it for sure!

Looks great! Hope you got the clutch issues sorted out.

Not yet, I have to hit up a contact at the local Audi this week. Hopefully it's just the cylinder and nothing else.

[TheDapperDriver]

very nice
welcome

[marinse]

I'm glad I got a 60 day warranty! Just got diagnosed from the local Audi for a new clutch! $4300

[marinse]

Finally getting some mods in. Replacement headlight bulbs and HID fogs from DDM both 5000K. Install this weekend!

Gotta get me a torx set asap, any recommendations on which to get for the job at hand? I don't need the most expensive one either just something to get the job done.

[Mops@Nemesis]

All you need.

I haven't done a whole lot of looking around yet to see any difference in the torx head bolts/screws. Are they all this tamper resistant type? The torx bits that I have are solid all the way through where as these look to have an allowance for a pin type protrusion in the middle of the torx.

Thanks for helping guys!

Can't trademark S5.

[Wah]

Looks sharp!

Should I get ST or KW coils.... I was thinking I could get STs and rust protect them myself with some spray paint but idk...

[Mops@Nemesis]

ST's will be fine. Just give the the dampeners a good cleaning during and after winter. The guys at AMI also mentioned a product you can apply for protection.

Yeah, using the "TM" mark on "My S5" is meaningless.

meh... I've always named all my car threads the same so why stop now.

I was thinking on coating them with rust proof paint or something before install also. $725 is an awesome deal but I don't want to pay again down the road because I didn't get the KW ones.

DId some searching and found this:

It seems pretty legit so might just get the STs afterall.

Thinking about going that route as well.

Sebastian where are you in MD,I'm in G-burg.

I'm also in G-burg. I haven't seen any S5's around though.

First mod! LED License plate bulbs from HID Concept. They're awesomely white, not like others I've bought in the past. Look forward to switching my headlight bulbs and fogs to 5000K later this week.

[marinse]

Installed my license plate holder.

[DownhillA4]

Sebastian, car looks excellent! Up until you installed that hideous license plate bracket. Please remove it or get a Swift high-away plate holder.

[marinse]

Whats a Swift high-way plate holder?

[beta]

He probably meant the hide-away plate holder

Well...if Audi wanted to be real dicks...like Apple...you could end up meeting some of their legal department. And besides...what's the point?. You are not the only one who owns an S5.

[marinse]

But it says "My S5" Not S5...

[Mops@Nemesis]

Rot in hell for what you have done.

[marinse]

bahaha... sue me internetzzzzz

Gonna do some vag com mods tonight. awaiting some parts in the mail, taking for ever

[Mops@Nemesis]

[Gspothit]

[marinse]

Only sides?

[Mops@Nemesis]

Pretty sure "activs5" runs 50%

[marinse]

I wanna change mine, since it came with 20% all around, but I'm too lazy to do it -__-

What was the brand of headlight side marker tint called?

[beta]

They call it Reflector "Delete" Vinyl

Can always go to your local tint shop - they've likely done them before or know what is required to do it. Get them to show it to your before they do both sides, as you will want to see that it is right for you. Looking at it from the front is one thing, but from an angle you will have some questions on whether they need more material or not. My local tint shop was great. Goldwing Autocare in Ottawa.
