Default body kits?

Let me make it clear that im not trying to "pimp out" my ride. I just want it to look sportier than it does. Just in case it is needed, here is a picture of my car circa last week.

2 things i think it needs more than anything are a new set of rims and a body kit. but I am having trouble finding anything that goes well with my car. Everywhere I look has the same few body kits, most of which are either meant only for show or look cheap. If anyone has installed a body kit, would you mind telling me the best places to look for them? ill save rims for later...

If you are going to do any body modifications, I would recommend not to get a body kit. Look around for an S4 or even an RS4 front bumper. Getting coilovers or springs and rims will change the look of your car for sure in a very positive way.

LOL.

All you need are wheels and moar low. You should be set then.

Oh, and if there's money left over, a Rabbit engine swap.

I see the pattern...krip ends EVERY sentence with a "." Come to think of it, he starts every sentence with a capitol letter. (Insert Real Men Of Genius Theme)

As said above, no body kit, just get low, and get some 18" rims. Swap out the headlights too if you feel inclined. If you MUST do some sort of body kit, get some S4 sideskirts and either S4 or RS4 front bumper. If you were low with rims, lights, S4 sideskirts, and an RS4 front bumper, you would be sitting pretty sexy.

expensive as hell but good.

S4 front bumper <3




but i agree with the others.

wheels and drop makes all the difference. you dont even need the wheels, i loved the look of my car 10x more after i dropped it
