Default Any Suggestions for new owner?

Just got my first car, a 99.5 Audi A4 in volcanic black with 48k miles on it. I love it, and Im trying to do a few things to it to make it look better as well as drive faster. What would be your suggestions? Already got rims for it, the car is in perfect condition. Thanks

I have the same year same color - 2.8 Quattro Manual. I really like the looks of the S4 grille. (I just put one on mine). I also plan on going with an S4 front bumper, and probably the brushed aluminum mirrors. E-spec headlights, painted calipers and possibly a lip spoiler would be nice as well. Do you have tint? A MUST! Also consider debadging.

What kind of chip should I get and what kind of prices am i looking at. All I have seen so far is talk about APR chips. Also, is a cold air intake worth it?

I bet if it has exhaust it's probably chipped too. But if not definetely go with a chip. There's a few good DIY projects like taking the orange inserts out of your headlights, taking the badges off your car, and painting your lowers. The possibilities are endless if you've got the time and the money.
