Looks good, debadge is a must, painting lowers wont change the look much, not sure if its worth it.
Lose the flaps and the badges, it'll look even better.

Looks nice... I was thinking about lowering mine but I live far up north and we get a **** load of snow... is it safe to have it lowered for winter? Coil-overs are just way to pricy for me.

nice car. haha mud flaps.. get rid of those, please? i agree with getting rid of the emblems. i have a black 01, it looks so much better without the emblems. and the car will look great. the lowers aren't a big deal on black cars. i'm planning on suspension, new turbo and speakers before i paint my lowers.

Ok...so about de-badging...has anyone ever run into the problem of the paint underneath of the badges not fading like the rest of the car?? I mean, like if I take off the badges, will I still be able to see where they have been?

If the car was fully in the frame in the second pic, it would be a very cool picture

ah very nice car. looks like a 2001.5 w/sport pkg. same car and color as my first audi. definately looks good!

i dig the flaps actually, something that gives the car a little bit of that old audi heritage. not something you see to often.

and they're functional. they keep tEh Mud ofF dA auDI!!!!

I de-badged the A4 and 2.8L emblems on my car by using floss and to get the glue off I just used nail polish remover and my nail... works fine actually, no paint fadings at all. After I did that, I put on the RS badge where the RS4 and S4 badges go on... looks sick actually, I will post a pic on later after I get my remus exhaust installed.

They may be somewhat functional, but they are still ugly. There is a reason you don't see them too often

Yes, I debadged my 98 A4 and I had this problem. There is a small outline of where the letters were, but honestly at any distance farther than like, 4 feet, you can't see the marks. I would go for it, considering you have a newer car that was probably better taken care of than mine was by the previous owner. If you do debadge and it happens and irks you a lot, you can take it to a body shop. They should be able to wetsand it and make it blend into the rest of the car pretty easily.
