First Ever Build Thread (slow build)

**AFAndrew** · 03-04-2017 04:33 PM

Alright guys I thought I would give you a build thread on my new 2013 A4. Just FYI the build will be slow seeing as I don't have tons and tons of money to do upgrades;)

Very nice! Did you use that 3M film or something else?

Also, I'm right there with you... I can afford the car, can't afford the upgrades, haha. It's kinda torture seeing some of these build threads...

Hey guys:) ordered $500 of things like the AFE Pro Filter, new polisher, waxes and compounds, LED reverse lights and than also ordered the backup camera with guidance lines:) Tuesday can't come soon enough. But in the meantime I gave the interior a good thorough cleaning.

You should do the piano black finish on the trim! I have the grey and off-white/cream colored interior. Debating using a suede black on the leather insert on the door as well as putting s4 seats. Love the work. Keep it up!

**AFAndrew** · 03-14-2017 09:28 AM

Not much of a update today. But my LED reverse lights came in and got them installed. All I can say is Audi should have just put LED reverse lights in the car in the first place, is matches so well with the rest. Sorry for the shitty pics lol

Thanks, but one of the objectives of this community is to share knowledge with one another. Could you be a bit more descriptive is how you went about this including who/where you purchased the system and how you installed it?

How hard was it to install. Really considering buying this for my car.

Also, can you post the instructions from the email so that we can view them. It would be so much easier than you writing a DIY.

You need to save it to a public Dropbox folder or public folder in your Google drive.

What is your review of the camera? Easy to install? How were the instructions?

Finally got my new amp and wiring kit. Had to remove a lot to make it a clean install but the results are incredible:)

Could you share the link of where you bought the gloss rings? Also, how did you do the install and how easy was it? I'm interested in putting some on my A4.
