I finally got the car out of the body shop, just got it repainted take a look at the pics let me know wut u think. I'll take more pics as i can. What do you guys think i can do to make this thing look better?
Paint and body work look really good! (and yes, painted lowers would make your car look ahellova lot better)

As far as cosmetics go, this is what i would do:
(in no particular order)

paint your lowers, coilovers, wheels, one piece headlights, clear sidemarkers, tint, rs4 grill, and possibly an exhaust system (for both looks and sound)

nice car man!

You need to drop the *** on it, and it needs new shoes.

But yeah, bangin' paintjob, it looks really slick. I might re-paint my car black, just because they look pretty chill. And you can get black rims to match it, which is better than having to clean your silver/chrome wheels like four times a week.

hey thanks guys, i actually painted the whole car, roof and everything, little dings and dents all over, so it was a little expensive, all together costed 2g's but i think it was well worth it, had to replace the back bumper and lower valnace. I'm definately going to go for the one piece headlights first, these stock lights are killing me lol.

If you're going to replace the headlights, my opinion would be for you to get the European spec headlights (all clear).

It alldepends onhow much you want to do with ur A4, Do you want to totally "trick it out" or just improve ita little? But either wayrims is an obvious start.

well i want to make it look better, i will see where it goes from there, i definately want to do the headlights, rims, side makers. After those i will start with the other things, but im going to have to work a little to get this money lol. I'm unsure about the painted lowers lol i mean it looks good, but its spent so much time in the body shop i kinda just want to enjoy it for a little before i decide to bring it back.

i found these lights on ebay, anyone think they are any good, will they melt with HID's? If anyone could point out the headlights they picked up i would like to see them, thanks for all your input, and i hope to hear from you all soon.

Wow, for all that $$$ you should have definitely painted the lowers along with it.

Personally, I would have picked a different color as well, there's like 999,999 silver audi's on the road.

Looks like they did a good job for you though!

Your unique now, just like everybody else!

haha sorry i didn't even notice that RaFa had these exact wheels installed on his audi a couple posts above this one, i don't want to be like his lol, so i might just leave the lowers the way they are for a litle while, and maybe just maybe i might decide to get these wheels, although i don't think i will, i just like to be different haha.
