    Mod?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Not sure what should be my next mod should be? Ideas?

    Since I got her a couple of months ago. I've added interior LED lights, H&R Sport Springs, custom carbon fiber headlights, AWE tuning touring exhaust, and a full detail.

    I was so close to closing a deal on Kleapers4 for his Deval rear diffuser but he backed out at the last minute.

    So now I'm not sure what to do next? I've been messing with the following:

    Wrapped Gloss Black Roof
    TCU Tune
    Front Lip - DTM (Mod Bargains) or Stvbek
    Deval Rear Diffuser
    Enlaes deck lid
    AWE Downpipes
    Or 5000-5500K HID bulb upgrade, S4 shift knob and boot and change me spark plugs.

    Oh and don't say all lol. If you could pick one. Which would it be?

    Thanks Audizine.

    Guess it all depends if you want to go performance or cosmetics first.

    However, if it was me, I would do these in this order.

    2 -- Wrapped Gloss Black Roof
    3 -- TCU Tune
    5 -- Front Lip - DTM (Mod Bargains) or Stvbek
    6 -- Deval Rear Diffuser
    4 -- Enlaes deck lid
    7 -- AWE Downpipes
    1 -- 5000-5500K HID bulb upgrade, S4 shift knob and boot and change me spark plugs.

    Nothing special.. He wanted to change his plugs and having a good running car is key, so thats why i put that first. All that other stuff doesn't matter if your car is not running at its best.

    I saw in your sig that you're Stage 2. The tune came with the car or you bought it? Looks like you're modded pretty well performance wise. My next mod will be to pay off the car lol

    I agree 100% w/ this. Except I'd prioritize TCU tune over a roof wrap.

    Car looks great... I would not overdo the aesthetics... it's perfectly OEM+... adding a deck lid or front lip I think would ruin the look... IMO... You've got it perfect right now...
    Rear diffuser would prob look OK but I would not obsess about it.
    TCU tune then I'd do more handling upgrades...

    If you are are on springs only I'd do proper shocks (Bilstein)
    Sways and end links
    Sub Frame Brace
    Rear diff mounts...
    Transmission Mount

    Not sure if it's already done on the car but upgrading the steering wheel to the facelift wheel was one of my best and favorite mods. If not done that would be my next investment for sure.

    Didnt get to say thanks to everyone for their opinon. Since then I've crossed 2 or 1 1/2 off the list. I've done my front lip Stvbek carbon fiber. I've also got my spark plugs which came in today. I'm debating if I should pay my local shop to install ($200) or if I should tackle it myself. I'll def need to buy better tools and build a little moxy to tackle this.

    I'm getting the mod itch again?

    I'm debating between the 2 which cost about the same:

    EPL TCU tune - (Track season is soon. I'm debating if I should see what I can get in the 1/4 before I buy this. Day to day driving seems fine on stock TCU tune. Not sure if it's so urgent.)

    Enlaes Carbon Decklid - (Sean @Tag quoted me a great price but lead time is 6 weeks.)

    Mods to follow is wrapped roof and suspension mods.

    -RS4 Piano black grill -Stvbek Carbon Fiber Lip -19x10 Niche Targa wheels in Anthracite -20% -LED foglight and tail plate conversion -Inverted black/red supercharged badges -Interior LED lights -Solo Motorsports Stage II tune: APR pulley, belt w/ MAP programmer -93 OCT tune and Stock tune -APR Stage I + II Carbino Intake system -H&R Sport Springs -AWE Tuning Touring Exhaust

    I would definitely black out the trim, mirror caps, rings and exhaust tips before the roof. And shave the S4 and faux Supercharged badges. Then take a look and see if you still think you want to do the roof. I don't think you will.

    Clean she will be, my lad. Very clean, indeed.
