AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the spelling/grammar is so horrible!!!!!!!!!


Please don't rice out your car. if you just get wheels and tires your car will look like a monster truck. Lower it before you get new wheels, whether it's on shocks/springs or coilovers (coilovers being the better option). The S4 front bumper is clean, reiger makes a good bumper to clear a big *** fmic but it looks naked without one.

A GIAC chip will make you happier than a body kit ever will.

Did u txt ur thred in frm ur cel fon? Seriously, that was hard to read. But, I would have to agree with the above threads. Avoid the "rice" look. I'm trying to pull the cash together to start doing some nice work on the car, and a chip, drop and wheels (in that order) are first on the list... followed by a body kit, FMIC, and a nice fresh paint job (as seen in my sig).

yea sorry about the spelling and grammer mistakes, i wrote it in the text language...
but yeah currently im just looking for a rs4 or s4 front bumper, so if any of you guys have it or have freinds who might have it please let me know. And after the bumper i going to wait till i break the engine in, like have 500 to 1000 miles on it and then get it chipped is that cool?
Thanks
Gill

Personally I would suggest lowering it first before a body kit, then if ur trying to stay with cheap mods, get a short throw shifter or some depo or ecode projectors and some nice non ricer hid kit... That's just my 2 cents

And by non ricer I mean no super ultra blue or barney purple lights lol

The loose definition of "ricing" is doing a bunch of stuff to make it look cool, without any performance mods... If you're looking for a nice look, a drop a wheels goes a long ways, but much more than that without some more performance mods, and you risk being a little rice-ish. I definately recommend a chip to get started, it's the first thing on my list of things to do (beyond the maintenance to keep it running good).

well not always... if u do your apearance mods tastefully then its ok.. like i consider ricer.. anything wiht a spoiler first unless it has excess of at least 400whp... or putting vinyls and decals all over your car... but seriously though like i and others said, look into lowering and wheels before u put a body kit on... and whatever u do try not to put on rims before u lower it... its gonna look like a rally car haha

oooh and can u post a ouple pics of your car so we know what u are working with too?
