    Holiday Gift for my S5?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    As you can see in my signature, I'm running out of things to do to my B8 S5.

    Help me pick my next mod! What am I missing? Is there anything else out there that will improve my driving experience?

    Longer term plans: BBK, High Flow Cats, Lightweight wheels, APR tune?

    Supercharger is not an option - I'd rather get a B8.5 with the additional $15k. Also, call me crazy, but I never saw the appeal to spending ~$1k to have headlights without an amber reflector.

    Ah yes, I was definitely thinking about doing that in the spring. Two step paint correction and Cquartz coating.

    I've been thinking about getting the differential inserts. Are they worth it? Any noticible difference?

    Brembo BBK is on the 2016 wish list.

    My thought is that it'll only get plenty of micro scratches from snow brushes and salt/road debris anyway during winter and then I'd probably have to go back in the spring for a decontamination wash/detail. I'll make my detailer work hard for his money come spring time.

    BBK - personally don't pike the the feel of the stock brakes and plan to do the same.

    But high flow cats and a tune are also good next steps.

    I'm with you on the headlights BTW - I won't be doing that.
