Default New to audi

Hi to everyone. I Just recently bought a silver 1999 A6 2.8 Q w/ 36k and i have a few questions.

1. I wanted to get a trunk lip for my car but dont know where i can get a good one for less then it would cost at a dealer.

2. What mods whould you guys suggest i do first.

Thanks for your time.

there really aren't any mods that will provide a significant gain for the 2.8.
the trade off is that a well maintained 2.8 will run for 150k+ miles

^^^^^^^^^
agreed


you can find a trunk lip spoiler, already painted the colour of your car for around $250 on ebay. (beats the 4 or $500 you'll pay at the stealership)

yeah. i think the GIAC chip is the one you want to go with. only probem is i think the hp returns on the 2.8, aren't even worth the 3 or 4 hundred you'll spend on the chip. (something like 20 hp gains, but don't quote me i'm not sure)

at least you don't have to worry about repalcing turbos, which is very costly maintanance
