RE: My first German Car!
Got 35% tints today. Avoided the front tint but somehow it still gives the impression that fronts are tinted. I don't know how those guys do it. I had a hard time cleaning the little glass after the rear windows and they put tint over there somehow. Out of curiosity, how is that tint paper handled so well that it doesn't even get any wrinkles while installing?
No further mods planned. Perhaps an exhaust later when I get more richer. Got 970 miles now, it seems to respond more to the gas pedal but I'm still getting fluent at taking off from an uphill position. Lucky to learn stick on an old toyota though.
EDIT: New pictures will be up soon, it just got dark after I washed it today.
EDIT(again): How much will a spoiler run me?
Will a wind deflector look ugly? I can't see an audi with it.

RE: My first German Car!
welcome to the forums, ambarsaria.
they just use water and a squeagie (sp?) to apply most tints, it's pretty interesting to watch them work.
lip spoilers look awesome on A4s, much better than regular spoilers imo...for a good one, painted, i believe they're about 350 bucks..you can get cheaper ones on ebay, from about 350 all the way down to 40 bucks, but you get what you pay for.
you better get more richer soon..i believe there is a flash loader that will be available for your car pretty soon...RIDICULOUS power gains (i'm assuming, like an ***, that you have the 2.0T)

RE: My first German Car!
Any comments on wind shield deflector, is that even worth it in reducing noise? I wouldn't think so but I figured I'd ask since if I got a TL, I would've got the wind deflector on top.
My next mod will probably be a short shifter first, shifting 1st to 2nd just takes too much effort (distance is better word). But I'm not regretting the manual transmission. My schedule just works in a way that I don't get stuck in Bay Area traffic that much.
I might get it chipped but I just want something I can turn it on and off easily as I heard it hurts mileage. Any comments on engine wear and tear with chipped car? Lip spoiler would probably come in after the chip I guess.
Yes it's a 2.0T, here are better pictures. It almost got too dark but I figured I shouldn't be lazy too much.
