Default new here w/ noob questions

pickup my '02 A4 1.8T quattro (Tiptronic) yesterday and I'm looking to mod this baby up within a month or two. right now i'm looking to get rear lip, ipod integration and tints. Anyone knows where I can get the rear lip for a good price and is this easy to install ?

Also, i'm looking to get exhaust for my next mod. but don't want to get a loud exhaust. I'm thinking of the cat back exhaust from awe-tuning.com but not sure if this piece is loud inside the car, I do love the sound from outside.. anyone has this and care to share your experience with this kit.

Thanks in advance !

Agree, the biggest bang for the buck is a chip and an accompanying upgraded diverter valve.

However, the most important thing is to take care of your car. Before you mod anything, make sure you have invested in the car itself. Unless it is very low mileage, you should consider changing the transmission fluid, front, central and rear differential fluid, change power steering fluid with Pentosyn 11S, top up battery, change air filter,

You need to do a search as this is covered every other day but I'll get you started. Most people prefer GIAC or APR for chip and a 710N DV. The DV is stock on the TT so you can pick it up from your local dealer or order it from many of the tuning sites online.

i say start off wit the chip and DV
if u got the money you can get the OEM lip spoiler from the dealer but its pricey
but theres EBAY and www.spoilerdepot.com but it wont look good as OEM though
and u can install it your self

As far as chips go you should look into GIAC, APR, or REVO. All are very good. The most cost effective dv upgrade is the 710N.
