Hey guys, just registered the other day, new to the forum. Finally made the switch over from bimmer to audi!
Very happy with the choice so far, just picked up my new 2008 A4 2.0T S-line in Deep Ocean Blue Pearlized.
Looking to get a chip, intake, tints, wheels, HID's right away...
Any suggestions on any of the above is very much appreciated.
Chip I was thinking APR, unless you guys have a better suggestion.
Intake? I don't know any Audi brands yet - open to suggestions. Also, does it make much of a difference to get the cold air intake; the car being a turbo, basically heats up the air, so not sure if I should even get one.
Tints - I was thinking 20% might look good
Wheels - let me know your opinion... this is not the exact wheel, but something like this in a gunmetal grey or polished steel color:

HID's - I was looking on the forum today and someone recommended VVME.com; has anyone used this product before? It seems a little underpriced for HID's, are they reliable?
Thanks again for your help, and I look forward to being part of your forum!

Chip: Most B7 drivers like APR, but get the brand closest to your house for future supports
Intake: the stock intake is really good, unless sound is what u r looking for from an off-market intake.

Chip- APR is good if they're close.
Intake- there is the carbonio. Very pricey ($335+) but gives a good look and a great sound. I have one. Some people have just made their own.
I have 35% tint on my car:
Wheels- Tork is a pretty solid brand. Nice wheels
No idea about lights.
