    Introducing: EL1TE Performance!



    For the last 17 years we have been serving Texas and the Southeastern US as the enthusiasts’ choice for Paint, Body and Performance. To be candid, we have never really advertised. Our customer service, reputation and word of mouth drove business to us.

    In a few months ago we decided to step out into the (advertising) spotlight - after amassing nearly 300,000 posts across a handful of major Audi and VW (VAG) forums and owning 21 Audis in the last 12 years ranging from stock daily drivers to SEMA award winners - we felt we had a firm grasp on the market, its vendors and most importantly the needs of its consumers. We knew first hand and saw gaps in transparency, communication, follow up and true customer service.

    Think of us as an aftermarket performance consultant - someone you can send a direct message to - that will talk, actually want to understand and help you with what you want to source and accomplish. We know it takes considerable time to find and source parts, spec bespoke wheels, manufacturer benefits, competitive pricing, reasonable lead times etc - and yes, we are aware that most here LIKE to do those things - but it does take considerable time. So we would love to do all of or assist with the heavy lifting and consolidation for you.

    Once we decided upon direction, the last several months have been anchoring past vendor relationships while negotiating future and now current vendors for the best of the best. Today, after careful consideration we have decided the place to launch this effort was Audizine. Each VAG forum has its benefits and drawbacks - but for our business, this is the largest collective of VAG enthusiasts that love to modify. Many of you started with VW, and Audi brought you here. Many also have several cars to a fleet in their prospective garages – and while our focus here is Audi, we can work with you on anything in your garage. A true one stop shop.

    What we provide: Pricing that won’t be beaten, customer service that cannot be matched and selection that will not be touched. We have a virtual customer base to build and would like you to be some of the first to do so. Example: We the only APR dealer in Houston to also offer mobile service. We come to you on request! We truly want to earn your business.

    Vendors? You name them we work with them. From HRE to Vorsteiner. Miltek to Armytrix. APR to H&R and the list goes on and on. We will provide one stop, one price with service to your door.

    Sound like the perfect company? That’s the goal. We aren’t perfect, but every day we try to be.

    Please feel free to Direct Message (DM) either Aadel@El1te or Nick@El1te to inquire about your needs, your projects, your goals and we will get started!

    Do people in Washington actually use umbrellas?

    I always get shit for using an umbrella in Oregon.

    I get the: "You must not be from around here" statement all the time... (I've lived here my whole life )

    Correct. Umbrellas are dorky and Seattlites do not use them.

    Congrats and thanks for sponsoring the site too!

    I need a new umbrella to use as a hood prop for the RS4. I only use Elite products on my car.

    The reason we dont use them is this (my own theory):

    could you imagine if on every rainy day everyone in Seattle had an umbrella out in this overcrowded crap hole? People would be bouncing all over the sidewalks. Not to mention we can barely trust these same people with cars at the first sight of a raindrop, heaven forbid we give them umbrellas to manage respectfully too!!!!

    something interesting on that thought, if u go to toyko, which is extremely crowded when it rains there everyone uses umbrellas, and no one dies...
    however people are very respectful there, restraunts/buisnesses have holders for umbrelas, and when it rains there there are more monsoon/heavy rain types .....
    that may be the difference,...

    Umbrellas work just fine in Seattle. You can shove your Goretex somewhere else the sun don't shine.

    and there is the difference, lots of over-entitled hipsters babies have overtaken the Seattle area over the last 5-10 years. I don't think the word "respect" has a modern translation for "Seattle-Speak" these days lol

    (this is coming from someone who has lived there, their entire life, not just an outside "hater")

    this video sums up the recent flood of tards:
