Summer project
I have been looking for something to do to my car over the summer such as mods and making it more "me". I have already debadged and to those of you who read my debadging thread know i am fixing the scratch and then posting pics. I also have been looking toward smoked tail lights and side blinkers. I am not sure what else to do so if anyone has any sugestions please feel free to add them. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...d/100_2353.jpg

RE: Summer project
How about tinting the windows and getting the chrome mirror covers...
No pics of the back. You could get a Euro plate surround and a Euro plate to go with it.
Other little things I would do (depending on if it is legally allowed), get both rear fogs to work.

I was thinking about window tinting would it be worth it painting the car?

My A6 was purchased in Michigan (by the original owner) and both rear fog lights are operational.
As a suggestion, do a thorough CAREFUL detailing of the car. There are lots of nooks and crannies to clean, especially in the engine compartment. Lots of places to wax. Cleaning the carpeting and using ArmorAll or McGuire's products on the wood, vinyl, rubber, and leather is important. All this takes is attention to detail, patience, and not much money. Plus you get to know your car intimately and will find any potential problems or leaks early.
Open a beer,light a cigar, and have fun. Oh..wait...you're in high school. Forget the cigar, it's bad for you.

RE: Summer project
I would say tint the tailights and side marker, I did mine and they look great(silver car though). I get a lot of looks
As for other upgrades, I would get a set of new shoes(wheels), paint the brake calipers, tint the windows, remove the yellow amber reflector in the headlights(so they look clear, like the aftermarket ones).
Then I would look for performance parts, starting with a chip and K&N filter or intake and so o and so forth.

What are the rear fog lights? the red ones by the lisense plate?
I really want to tint the tail lights and side markers and get new rims and tint the windows. I should get it all clean before I do that though. I am not sure how much it would cost to paint the car, if anyone has an idea that would be great and would it be worth it to get my desired look?

well i just got done using the buffer and the scratch is gone! awesome I am so happy I would take pictures now but it is raining [:@] I think if I got black rims and window tint and tailights tinted it would look sweet I will try to do a (very ameteur) photoshopping job to see

RE: Summer project
i was looking on eBay (well on google and it brought me to eBay) and I found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-bl...mZ140128048809are 19" rims too big? I was looking for 18's initially for the price savings but these are a steel it seems. Any opinions on buying rims on abey? I have done a lot of buisness there and haven't had a problem. Thanks for any help
