Default Virgin Audi Owner =)

Hey guys. I purchased my first Audi less than a week ago. I have a 97 A4 2.8 Quattro. Great condition yatta yatta... anyways I was wondering if any fellow owners would be able to point me in the direction of places I can find out what's available for the 2.8. I know it's not as mod friendly as the 1.8T but I would still like to upgrade it. Also any tips would be appreciated =)

Thanks in advance guys. Any questions or comments are also welcome.

Is there a site that has a lot of stuff for the 2.8? The main things I would like to do right now are intake, cat back (if they even make one for the 2.8?), and I would like to install my CD player but I don't want to have any ugly gaps on the ends. It looks like the factory radio is about 3-4 inches longer. Do they make any kits to fill the ends?

BTW guys sorry if these are really noob questions. I have owned Ford's all my life. Just got rid of a 93 Probe GT for my A4 now. I don't have the slightest clue where to start for Audi parts lol. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thaaaaank you brett. Does it look clean? In other words is it worth purchasing? I want to keep the car as clean looking as possible.

While I'm at it, does anyone have any good color combinations for the old man light gold? Lol. I was going to get a silver one but I couldn't pass up how good condition mine is. I would like to do a S4 front bumper, not sure what to do with the side skirts. I will most likely keep the stock rear bumper. I've got an S-type rear deck spoiler on the way. Will probably order the Magnaflow next week. And I want to do a clean set of wheels and tires.
