If there's questions to the mods I've done or anything like that I'll be more than willing to help.

Unfortunately I don't have photos before the drop and wheels.

This is after installing the Solowerks Coilovers, Custom Exhaust, 19" Brabus VI Wheels, and the S4 grill.
I dipped the S4 grill black as well as the chrome trim around it.

your trunk lip spoiler.. look carbon.
did you buy it on ebay?
i think i have the same one.. the edges dont stay flush to the trunk... i see it lifting off in your pics about an eight of an inch.
were you able to correct this?
im not sure how so my spoiler is back in the box sitting in the garage!

Yeah it's from eBay. I took the pic before it was property put on, didn't have any tape on it. Once I placed double sided 3m tape, it sat almost flush on the top. The only gap I have right now is on the bottom but it's not that bad

nice! is that the accuair Exo mount with compressor mounts too?

[booost]

Looking good!

[shaunm82]

Looks awesome, nice work!

[skis4hire]

I'm curious what lead you to lease a car that you've so heavily modified?
Did you get a really good rate or something?
The car's powertrain warranty is now void which seems like it negates some benefits of leasing, especially potential repair cost, and also would violate the terms of the lease.
Do you have a good relationship with the dealer? What about the holes in the trunk floor or the badges at the end of the lease?

Well it not my first lease I've modified previously before the a4 I had leased a c-class which I modified, I just returned everything back to stock before I returned it. The plan was never to mod it as much as I did but it just kind of ended up happening and with the tune it was kind of the point of no return.
I actually haven't taken it to the dealer since I bought so I'm not sure how that will turn out lol
As far a the trunk flooring the holes aren't bad but I'm just going to buy a new one, and the badges I'll just double sided tape them on again

[adamazing]

Always been a fan of your ride.

things like badges...grills...spoilers and such dont matter on leases.
lease end inspectors have no clue what kind of badging came on a car stock.. or if it did/didnt have a lip spoiler
as long as he puts his stock suspension back on, they wont notice a thing.

also, its rare that someone actually "turns in" an audi lease anyhow...
90+ percent of all lease ends in trade in.... not turn in.

Interesting, thanks.
By trade in you mean the car depreciated less than they predicted? Or just that you're rolling into another Audi?

[bakerrrr]

So I took the dip of my grill and properly painted it, this time I left the surrounding trim chrome.

audi is rather conservative in their residual values so most customers end up with equity at lease end.

Got the new Air Lift 3P management in the mail today, can't wait to install it

[Shimmy]

nice! post pics of your sensor placement and mounting

[bakerrrr]

3P the management I got doesn't come with height sensors, that's 3H. I'll be upgrading it though sometime next year.

[bakerrrr]

Installed the new management Saturday. A lot better than v2.

[Shimmy]

how is it better?

[bakerrrr]

how is it better?

•It's has Bluetooth connectivity, so I could control it from my phone.
•It has a mode called "show mode" which allows you to control it even if the key is out of the ignition.
•The height preset are more accurate.
•Manually controlling each bag is easier now and faster to do since there's a up and down button for each bag.
•The control is able to be disconnected.
•The manifold and control is a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
•There's a default present which allows one to lift all the bags at the same time which helps in drives ways, speed bumps,etc.
