chganged plugs, looked at my new solid slidders from tyrol(will install once i get time)

also to the kid with the ugly *** k04 powered car, not only a new hood, you need to either buy them moldings or shave them like i and others have.... also you need a new bumper to where your ic piping isn't buldging the fog area or where you cut it out and removed it


so either go s4 or get an s4 bumper and better fitting ic

o blackie looks great lol, thanks for the advice dude. i thought i did a pretty good hack job on the bumper sir. like i said in the previous post im getting the ecstuning side moldings, i dont have 600 for s4 front bumper id rather take tht money and do BT plus everyone says go to the forums and look for ppl tht are selling rs4 or s4 front bumpers but i found 3 nice local bumpers and no one likes to call back but there still for sale... awesome. thanks for being a dunchbag about MY awesome car btw i love it. i like to be different good or bad way.
on a side note im not a mean guy but ppl tht put my car down after doing all my own work and over four thousand dollars in it really gets to me, and the hood was just an experiment so now im in the search for one just like the front bumper..

back on track... i worked on my 96 audi 2.8 so i can get it to the garage to get it checked, the tranny slips really bad... im hoping it just needs filled up. i was told the tranny plug loosens some how. it never did this ever before only wen i started driving my k04pwrd lol i guess maybe jealous haha
sorry so long fellas

You are entitled to do what you wish to your own car. It's yours, you do what you want to it.

These guys have seen many B5s with a lot of different styling. With that comes many styles which don't work so well and that the owners eventually change anyways, which is why they're jumping on you about them, so to speak. Just like the questions which could be answered by reading the FAQs first. The same type of things come up repeatedly. Most owners like a certain OEM style look which is referred to as "clean" around here. Think of the comments as suggestions, ie new door moldings will really improve the look. You said the hood was an experiment. It's a learning experience of what you like and don't like.

If I may make a suggestion in regards to your new hood: try to find a facelift version which does not have the washer sprayers mounted on the hood, but underneath.
