Ordered my stereo today. Kenwood DDX317, can't wait to install it Friday/this weekend.

 

Radio supplies shipped out today!

Does anyone have any suggestions for rims? I would like to stay with a set of OEM Audi ones but not sure which ones are common and such. I've seen the S4 rims and those look pretty cool.

 

The one's I'm looking at getting, are the alzor 628 ones on ecs tuning they are rs replicas. I think they look amazing you should check them out, but ride quality I have no idea or anything, since I have not purchased mine yet it will be a lil while before i have the money for it.

 

So I still don't plan on getting any type of tune for a couple months or so but what are some of the things that I should check/replace? Figured I could start checking now and get everything right so when I'm ready to fork over the couple hundred everything goes smoothly.

Also any feedback/reviews that you have about a tuner would be great. Right now I'm leaning towards GIAC since that seems to be the most common for a B5

 

Installed my new Kenwood today! Looks great and love all the features so far.

Lookin good, I've always wanted to do a double din swap into to my car so I can get fancy crap like that but I've never gotten around to it. Btw, I'm still working on finding a box, I didn't forget lol

 

Thanks man I like how it turned out also. Very easy to do. I've done a few radio installs but still very simple.

Sweet no problem, let me know when you find one.

 

Plasti Dipped the trim today in my garage. Looks so much better. Its amazing what two $6 cans can do. I will get some pictures of the trim when the suns decides to show itself again.

Then off to the car wash. Had to go through an automatic one which I hate but my hose is under feet of snow. http://www.flickr.com/photos/111519890@N03/13043783105/http://www.flickr.com/photos/111519890@N03/13043783105/]IMG_2155[/url, on Flickr

 

Ordered my boost gauge today. Got the VDO one from ECS. Not my favorite looking gauge but I decided to go with it only because it matches everything else so well. Didn't want the gauge to look out of place which I think any other on would.

 

Same gauge I've had for about 3.5 years now. It'll be great.
