Wish I knew what the Penske dealer used on my car to hide all the little imperfections.  It did an outstanding job- the car had 100K on the ticker so I KNEW there were going to be rockchips and all. And actually they would've been a lot worse on a 100K car up here. But when I picked it up there were absolutley none evident.  And my car is black. Whatever it was, was good stuff!

Well I went to the soccer fields today after stopping at a charity car wash to wash my car.  Got some free hot dogs and pop but they didn't dry the thing so there are spots on it but here are the pictures I took (only some)  http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Polka_Salad/DSC_0018.jpg

pick at the edge of it with ur nail carefully and peel it off like u would vinyl. itll rip in places, but just keep doin it. my eclipse had a silver one. got rid of that the first day. took like 30 min, cuz it kept ripping, it dried out

All this talk of de-badging is giving me the urge to remove the one S6 badge on my vehicle.... Then again, I only have one...

I am Def. glad that I debadged even after the encounter with the idiot friend.  I think it just looks a lot better even though it is a little change. If there is only one and it is a S6 you might want to keep it. I don't know that is a little tough

So does the strip leave anything on the car I would have to get off?
Here is another picture from the shoot I did yesterday it is probably my favorite and it is my background...must have slipped through the cracks yesterday in the first post. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Polka_Salad/audi2.jpg

Did mine yesterday.  I think the less cluttered look draws a person's eyes more to the character lines of the body..and maybe the exhaust tips too.

Awesome that will be my project for the day probably, taking of the gold strip.  I was thinking of it because the Audi rings on one side are not really "round" because they are worn and it doesnt look the best.

audi has awesome lines as is, theres no need to add more by adding vinyl or stickers like they do at the dealer.

Looks very nice..
I started to take off the gold strip yesterday and found that a lot of the sticky stuff was well sticking on the car but I figured out how to get it off really well but it takes a lot of leverage.  Only got half done yesterday so maybe I will take pics of the side with and without so I can compare.

I was on Andy's Auto Sport and looked at springs to lower my car http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/1997_2004_a6/suspension/springs/b_g/ are there better springs? any other places that might have more? also would it be a DIY job for someone like me who has never done anything like that before or would I be better just taking it in? Thanks for the help
Also anyone know a good place to get smoked tailights and side markers?

and I take it that the wiring is just some hooking up wires and not hard to all also?
