rsoni - no these are the wheels I just picked up; 18x8" OEM C5 RS6
I also wanted to by the R8 reps in an 18/19" however there are SO many people with them...it is unbelievable. Not saying a lot of A6/S6 drivers aren't sporting the RS6 wheels I chose, but they are off of the RS6 and compliment any A6/S6 beautifully! So I'm happy with them. Just got my 12mm spacers in the mail yesterday, now awaiting to see if my new lug bolts show up today...if so, wheels are goin' on and pics will be posted lol

Keith: The installation is a snap, both lamps were changed out in a matter of 10 minutes. Just open the trunk, take down the two section pieces on the trunk's L & R sides, you'll see each lamp is held on by four (4) bolts; literally grab your ratchet, unbolt each one, pop off OEM lamp, slide in with new lamp, refasten bolts (double check all is swell & lined up) and you're done. NOT like doing the headlamps. lol
The quality on the other hand - too soon to tell. Read by a few AF'ers they've had these on for over a year now and still with no problems. The first set shipped to me had the driver side lamp cracked in numerous spots, my guess is UPS doesn't handle packages correctly when something says Handle with Care lol Actually, I KNOW they don't...I used to work for them. :-P So I did have to have a new set shipped out to me, but absolutely no problems with this pair. I'll letcha know!

Those Tails are Sick! I just put a pair on my Red 02 2.7T, and I love them, the only problem I am running into is they are throwing the Yellow "Brake Light" on the LED Screen, every time I touch the brake. It used to be only when it was 90+ outside, now it does it EVERYTIME, annoying. The only fix I have found is to run with your Running Lights on and then it never throws that "Brake Light".
Look good though!!

Those are nice LED tails, I like those rims on the a4 too.
I have been reading up on how to install led's into my headlights.
I'll probably be doing it over the winter. I want a daytime driving light so that's what I'm going to use for one, Angel eyes!
Sort of a little tricky tring to figure out the leds and resistors needed but I found everything cheap at radio shack. Cheap!
so i am going to integrate a system that turns on few seconds after ignition on a delayed timer and also turns on fog lamps.
I still like that old GMC, I'd be planning a chop and channel on that baby. God I wish they made cars like that now. Funny I have owned every model Chevy truck 70s and up and the most comfortable is not the 07 with 8 way seats it was a 72 C30 dump with a super springy front seat.
Maybe turn it into a custom wrecker! Chip Foose style.
