What did you do to your B9 today?

[audinator]

Don't listen to him. That is an insipid critique. Audi did extensive research and that design is what the majority of customers wanted. I think it looks fantastic. It's a nice, wide, perfectly sized screen, placed at the ideal eye-line location for usage as an auxiliary screen. Only 10% of owners with motorized screens actually used them that way, and most left it up all the time. Personal opinions are fine, but pushing one's opinions without anything to back them up is lazy and undisciplined.

Thanks for sharing the photos, it looks great! The manhattan grey is a nice pick, I'm leaning towards that myself, just not listed yet as an option for the S4.

+1

I had both an A7 and S3 with screens that folded away, it was out 99% of the time, I was just waiting for it to get stuck lol

And good lord I'd hate to see the repair bill should one of those motors goes out.

Got tints (again) today

Lots of new little things......

Is that plastidip? Looks good either way.

Indeed it is. I would like to do it right and have it painted black, but its a lease so i have yet to decide if i want to dive that deep into it. This was more of a test to see if I thought it looked right on the car, and I have to say i love it. I think it completely changes the attitude of the cars look. Im looking for some 19in rotors for it to go with along with the coils I want to go to, and then will be powdercoating them black. Ill get the look I want one way or another, its just going to take a little time.

Pedals, got a matching chrome trimmed dummy plug for the rear, front plate filler, alum-silver seat adjustment switches, cleaned up RaceChip install.

[Kirath]

I really don't like the grille design, way too much chrome. But there is plenty of potential to dump all that extra chrome, and go with an RS style honeycomb. I like the plasti dip ones, big improvement.

Wired and added an extra OEM trunk light to the right side.




Thanks to the guys from Audiworld, I got google earth and street view to work via my phone's hotspot in the Canadian B9 (we never have Audi connect here in Canada).

how did you do it??

[lenno337]

eibach pro kit.. not super low. but kills that ugly gap.


went a bit over board with masking while plastidipping all the chrome off. i'm over protective. i know.

question is, front rings chrome or keep it all black? thoughts?

Personally, I'd do the front grill like how aks986 has done it. With the rings as it is and the rest of it black.

That's how I like it too. Never been a fan of blacked out emblems. But to each their own!

Had to make some changes to the 5F module adaptation. I believe it only works for Canadian models right now.
I followed the info on this link: http://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b...898879/page47/

Does anyone else really freakin hate the navigation system? I almost punched the screen right off the other day. Finally gave up trying to use the nav to find locations and instead now use the MMI app exclusively to send addresses to the system.

But, you would think, for $50k we might have a nav system that actually searches for businesses and cities and would be smart enoigh to know the difference. Funny when you have to wait five minutes or more for the nav to give up and finally give you the google search bar which finds the locations maybe 50% of the time. Really, freakin, irritating. It really sucks because most of the time I have to do searches or find new locations while driving and I don't touch my phone while driving!

Funny because when it works, it works great! But when I'm trying to write in an address and it refuses to recognize a zero for a zero or an "O" for and "O," shit really gets complicated. Oh. And the other day I was trying to write an "X" for the abbreviation for Texas and the first line keeps getting erased and puts in the other line then registers it as an "L." Talk about a rage-inducing effect.

Anyway... i guess the question is, does anyone else have issues like this or am i plagued by the stupidity of technology.

I don't have the car yet, but I'm curious about this... doesn't the VC use Google Earth and therefore the Google Maps database for searches? Or did you not buy that option and are stuck with the lame car manufacturer's version (they always seem to suck).

No, Audi doesn't use Google Maps for navigation. They use Google Earth as an overlay for the car's built in system. A lot of people are confused by that.

[SafariTT]

The only thing good with Audi build-in navigation is it will show instruction on head up display. Using google or apple it won't show turn by turn in head up, only in centre screen.

How did you black it out? Did you get the pre-cut laminx stickers or did you do it yourself some other method?

Nice! How much were the mirrors and where did you get them? Also is that scuba blue? Did you tint the windows (what %)?

Got them on ebay, $180, Chinese replica's but they fit very good, install was a breeze. I just finished a DIY here: http://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b...-caps-2911146/. It's indeed scuba blue with 35% tint all around.

Installed OEM leather armrest, OEM leather center console trim, and added the red door warning light that Audi removed for the B9.

I want all my exterior chrome painted black, like the black optics pack.

How much is a reasonable price for all the exterior chrome trim to be painted + debadge?

Major HP gains with these here:

1. Audi Sport license plate frame since the rear view camera wouldn't let me use my alumni plates :(
2. ECS aluminum oil filter housing
