Just got done with a rough (very rough) idea picture of what my car might look like from one angle after I finish. (just new rims and tinted windows) I am not too sure about the rims yet so if anyone has an idea of some that would look sweet feel free to post a picture or link. I am looking for 18's I think and if the price is right possibly 19's (trying to keep it under 1500 for rims and wheels so it might be kind of a pinch) http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c3..._2354copy2.jpg

Here is a picture I just finished of the back with the smoked tailights and tinted back window. Again just a quick rough idea as to what it will look like. I am thinking of getting as my license plate : FETZIG http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...0_2744copy.jpg

Looks good, as for the wheels go, it's up to you. Those black wheels do look nice, as I was considering them too but not from Ebay.
Lowering the car would be nice with 19's.

Well I went to the soccer fields today after stopping at a charity car wash to wash my car. Got some free hot dogs and pop but they didn't dry the thing so there are spots on it but here are the pictures I took (only some) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Polka_Salad/DSC_0018.jpg

ORIGINAL: EnviedA6

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.
I take it you need to purchase new tailights for it to look the best or am I mistaken? Also is it hard to remove the yellow?

I was on Andy's Auto Sport and looked at springs to lower my car http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/1...n/springs/b_g/are there better springs? any other places that might have more? also would it be a DIY job for someone like me who has never done anything like that before or would I be better just taking it in? Thanks for the help

Those wheels do look nice.

With 19" wheels you won't have a lot of rubber. I hope where you drive the roads are good. You don't want to damage those rims.

Also bear in mind that if you do require a replacement, you may have to wait a bit for the same pattern to become available, unless you are lucky and live where the size is readily available. Puncture repair (I've been unfortunate in that I have to end up changing my tire) will become a lot more expensive.

Then again, if you were so practical, you wouldn't have purchased an Audi
