Big fan of the Bronze wheels. Tastefully done

This car is SCREAMING for a rear duckbill lid spoiler.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Looks great. Interesting choice on tire size. I was running 245/35/20 on my 20x10 et35 AG's but just ordered 255/30/20 Evo's to replace them. Car looks killer though nice job.

[XxSullyxX123]

gorgeous, and im not usually a bagged fan. Where the heck in Westchester!??!? I live in Somers and work in Purchase. I'm on 684 daily.

on a side note: Dying to hear an AWE touring w/ non resonated pipes in person. I have just the touring on stock DP and have been thinking about adding those, but don't know how it sounds except on youtube(I had the track exhaust as well, which was amazing but drone killed me).

Thanks man, I actually made a mistake. They're 245/35 not 40. Recommended size was 255/30 but I wanted a little more profile for the NY roads.

Thanks man, I'm in north Yonkers/Hastings area. Happy to meet up sometime if you want to hear it. Send me a DM.

I'm still anxious about trying to J-code my headlights. Did you buy extra sealant or just reuse what you had?

To be honest, it was easy. It just takes confidence to open them up. If you're competent, you can do it in 1-2 hours with standard tools and a cheap heat gun. I just reheated and reused the OE sealant. No moisture issues thus far.

Greg does incredible work, good choice on the air install.

[infinkc]

Very nice looking, love how simple and clean you built it.

He's the fucking man.

[skiptowncat]

Those wheels look sweet, I was wondering on what colour I should get...my mind is now made up.

[SteveYem]

Very nice. Makes me miss my black B8.

[Bikel]

absolutely gorgeous!

I normally don't like the slammed look but man your S4 looks great! It is a good question though concerning the deck lid. Does it still look classy with it on?

Thanks brother, I really appreciate that. And I know, I can't decide. I like it but it does look a little "boy-racer" to me. It does look awesome on Snazzy's car tho.

[Pyromatic177]

I already have the ENLAES rear diffuser and the Carbon rear badge. So the deck lid would compliment both lol. Decisions decisions...

[BennyonB8gs]

Haha I know man. I'm going to ponder and let my bank recover a little bit.

[BennyonB8gs]

Thank you very much, I'm very happy with the result. It's fun to see your vision take shape.

[AudiSTL]

[Dasaudi mtl]

very nice set-up tastefully modded let your bank account recover for phase 4 !

[DannyDeez]

I've never been a slammed look kinda guy, but holy shit man your car looks phenomenal! Would love to see it in person one of these days.

[B8Addict]

Oh my goodness, that looks AMAZING. Well done. I don't like slammed cars but god damn does yours look sweet.

[GrkA4]

Those 621's look great on your car.

Classy..... with non res DPS they can hear you from 5 miles away.... the rides sick. But it's loud.

Thanks man! I got on ModBargains.com. It doesn't have a brand name, I think the source them directly. It's the one that's like $450.
