My plan is to upgrade components somewhat equally between the interior, exterior, engine, suspension, etc.
For the exterior I'd like the M3 lip, to debadge it, tint the windows, new headlights/taillights, RS4 mirror covers, RS4 grill, put a chrome ring around the lower grill, and new wheels.
Interior I plan to add an AWE boost gauge in the center vent, 3 spoke steering wheel, add a factory center armrest and replace the phone jack with 2 USB ports for charging, integrate my GPS, get a clean mount for my iPhone, and it would sure be nice to have a flip out screen head unit
.
Engine will be chipped by Revo with a Forge DV, hopefully an APR exhaust system, Carbonio intake, carbon fiber engine cover, R8 oil and coolant caps, polished intake manifold, replace all the vacuum lines and replace the one time use clamps with screw style clamps, the list could go on.
Thats a lot. We'll see how this all pans out.

I finally got my sunglass holder that replaces the driver's side grab handle. Quality seems decent, but the color is a little off. Its a bit darker than the headliner but it works as it should. With my sunglasses in it it doesn't quite close all the way, which is a bit annoying to me but I'll get over it. The last 2 pictures are with my sunglasses in it.
this thread is funny
Keegan I dunno man, I'm not a fan of very dark tint, but i have 50% all around on mine and its awesome. It's JUST dark enough to even tell there's tint, but you can still easily see in and out of the car. Also helps take a little bit of the sting out of a rising or setting sun, and doesn't effect vision at night.
lm, cool idea with the sunglass holder but you're right, the color is off. did ya think about painting or wrapping it?

You mean tint ftw? I plan to tint it eventually, I need to do a couple more repairs and chip it first though.
I hadn't really thought about it. Or I could just leave it out in the sun till it fades .
