Went for a cruise yesterday after work and ended up taking a few pictures around a building I've always thought was kind of interesting over on the west end of downtown Des Moines. A few recent changes on the car include tinted windows and smoked side markers, and I also completed debadging by taking the quattro badge off the trunk. Coilovers will be next month. Enjoy!

nice man....

Your car looks great!

it's funny that your license plate says STD....lol

a bit lower with a nice set of wheels would look amazing....

either hit your lowers with some back to black or think about painting....

just some thoughts...clean whip!

Thanks guys! Like I said, I'm going to order coilovers next month when I've got the money for it, and by the end of the year I hope to be able to get a set of 18" B7 RS 4 replicas. Probably also in the next month or two I'll be painting my lowers. I've got an M3 lip spoiler ready to install and paint as well, but I'm kind of going back and forth on if I really want to break up the car's profile there or not. Thoughts?

Skip it, they look stupid and your car's profile is awesome as is. I love the mirror caps. And the tint. And the debadged look. And the new lights. Okay, I like it all!

Are your wheels dirty in those pictures? Mine got a lot shinier and silverier when they were clean.

Yeah wheels are dirty; it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment photoshoot. That's also why the lowers are a bit messy

A good drop definitely does make a nice bit of difference, but I'm in NO hurry to do it...it makes me nervous with how close to the ground our oil pans already are!

Don't hate on the lip spoiler just cause you can't have one

Very nice pictures, man.  And the car looks clean as hell.  One-piece headlights make so much more of a difference than I would've ever thought.

On a side-note, I bottomed out like crazy at a picture location I found yesterday and it scared the hell out of me.   Everything is cool, though...pretty sure I'm still wanting coilovers.

Thanks Kolbs; actually my headlights are 2-piece DEPOs! I love how the clear corner look cleans up a black car. Great improvement over my stock lights! I miss having fog lights though; maybe at some point between coilovers and wheels I'll get a set of facelift fogs.

Well, I was going to wait until next month after I get my coilovers before posting any new pics of my car on AF, so as to come up all of a sudden with several huge differences in the car since my last set of pictures; but it was SO NICE outside on Sunday that I just HAD to take some pictures, so I figured I'd share them! But I PROMISE, coilovers are next on the agenda.

Looks great, sucks you have STD on your license plate. Unless that is a custom one...but when I see those letters together I think unpleasant things.

Ha yeah the license plate is random - I might get vanity plates eventually, because STD is pretty obnoxious.

Wow, never would've even noticed the difference if you hadn't said anything.  The DEPOs definitely look clean!!
