I noticed today that ECS tuning offers the entire package of 4 for a few $$$ less than the site listed above. Yeah, the estamate was about $1000 to fix the dent in the fender flare and the door/blade.
Someone I know is about to install the RS6 molding on his 4.2 and he said he might sell them to me! If not then then I'll get them from ECS.
Also Gigi or anyone else if you recall my post about the burn on my door for a few weeks ago... This is completly diffrent! This is the second time my car has been hit in the parking lot!!!! I am so mad about it, but this time I caught the guy ;)

Haha, Gigi you need to accept my offer .... Luckily the damage is on the same side as the messed up door and they have to respray the door entirely because of a small chip in the door so the burn will be gone! I am glad they both happened on the same side! The S6 blades are coming, followed by some hellas and a trunk lip!

Yeah thinking about it... I am diggnig the new B8, maybe as a wagon int he fall.... with chip, exhaust, drop, rmis, tint and smoked lights.. then stop there, keep it a couple opf years and get the new S4 if it rocks TT's.

YEA BOI! Watching flavor of love... I hear what your saying about the TT on the new s4. That will be an amazing car. If they were to throw the TT in the A5 that would be the perfect combo! I saw one yesterday when I got my estamimets and It looked amazing!

hard to assess fairly b/c I know may car and have put so much $$ into it. [BTW It has 77k miles]. Just in the past 3 months the car has been given NEw shocks, springs, control arms, tie rods ends (inner and outter), rims, tires, mats, stage 3 tip chip(which works awesome BTW)...
It had the 75k service done (TB and WP), the auxiliary water pump replaced, all coil packs, both Fr CV boots... IT comes with a transferrable $3000 warranty that covers even the Quattro and Turbos NO LEAKS, great car, reliable, strong....
I have 1000s in it... and won't get a lot back I am guessing. hence why I am not 100% sure am selling now... Depends on offers.. Hard to appraise true value.., and probably need an enthusiast to appreciate the mods and reliability adds... I have not even started looking at the market for these cars... I'll have to do some diggin'.. Got all maintenance invoices
Mods are plentiful Apr 93 oct, stock, fault code eraser, TBA modes ($800) APR catback (1200 plus labor) APR Bipipe ($390 lpus labor) Vast Piggies (350 plus labor) Samco Kit (forgot $$$) APR DVs ($300) New South Power gasket VAST Tip Chip Stge 3 ($350) Koni FSD and EIbach Springs ($900+ plus labor) HSport Sways ($390 plus labor) Upgraded tie rods SS brake lines plus blue fluid Brembo drilled fr rotors RS6 lip spoiler ($395) S6 door blades ($390) FK Fr grille Tint Debadged K&N drop in APR Snub Mount TIP recode 01032 Window up/down with remote recode
who is your warranty company i want to get one for my current a6
I thought it had less miles!
from first to second gear in drive (not tip) does your trans shift really hard?? min does almost feels like banging but when in tip mode it throws me into my seat like it should

Hmm thats interesting because when I shift to second I hear a loud hissing noise (air) I am wondering if I have a boost leak because there is so little torque.

See PM for warranty co
You thought mine has less miles?
no real issue with 1st to 2nd... just a little rough when cold. Also it may shift hard/bang. b/c you release the throttle some? I keep my throttle pressure constant or increase it when shifting.
