Whoa man I didn't mean that in a bad way. I think it is different and unique. I have yet to see anyone run the s4 bumper wither blacked out grill covers. Makes it appear aggressive in a sense. I think everyone could use a respray. I know I could. When I repainted my hood and bumper I had some stock paint made up at two different places with the color code and it came out like new audi a4 white, by that i mean it was way white, like snow. My car is old faded white with what appears to be a little bit of cream. So needless to say I have to spray my whole car down to make it match. So don't sweat it man. It looks good for what it has been through.

I'd go with tint for the look, but the amount of heat it blocks out is definitely worth it to me as well.

Nah its all good, im the same way im afraid they wont be able to match the imola to how it currently sits and dont want it to look 20 shades of yellow. thats why im debating just waiting till i can respray the whole thing.

Yea i have some pretty dark tint on the a4 and although it blocks some sun it is still 100000 degrees when i get in (also black interior)



Side note Ordered a Twin 1 exhaust so when that gets here we'll pull the motor, clean things up while we install the downpipes and take a look at that throw out bearing.

Car looks good, but your photos are being resized in a strange way.

been awhile since ive updated this. Been DDing the s4 since december. the a4 is back at my parents house in the garage until summer time when i get a chance to start doing some body work (shave mouldings, pull fenders, ect..)

A4 is back to stock as it sits, S4 is stage 2+ revo, 3in-2.5in downpipes and twin 2.5 straight pipes. it has my depo hids and also my STs.






I had both cars with me at school for a while but in early december my dad came up and took the s4 home.



During the Coilover swap, ran into some issues ended up taking me 3 days to remove the coils of the a4 re install stock suspension, then remove stock suspension from s4 and install the coils.

I was going to but my a4 17s on but they did not clear the brakes so i through the avus in my moms car and went and got new tires mounted.






Swapping my hids over from my a4 ran into a little wiring mix up because they should of been plug and play but there was a swapped pin that took awhile to find. also but my banner on.



here my two beauties are together chatting it up.



how it sat prior to trading my grilles for imola grilles.



How she sits as of Jan/Feb. only change is ive now installed my fog lights.

The stock suspension on the A4 = Jeep status. CCA4 knows what's up.

Lookin good, man. How's the S4 as a DD compare to the A4? Hard to go back?

haha pretty much, and was a nightmare to re install had to compress the spring like 10 times each and max out the compressors.

Its 3 times as fast but for the most part i baby it around and being as low as i am you have to be alert with whats on the road. Less noise in the cabin even with a louder exhaust.
