Kim k's is great. No doubt. But what's wrong with a couple of tats? Unless they're in the wrong place like pre facelifted. They look bad.

And for lowering... Lil Jon never rapped about bitches 'gettin high.' nope. It was get LOW. Till the sweat drops down my *****. Believe it.

Call me old fashioned, but I like a nearly 100% stock look.

Maybe it's because my B5 is pearl white (not my favorite color, though it has grown on me), but I wouldn't consider changing anything on the exterior. My 98 is still from the era of really toxic but gorgeous metallic German paint. Now everything's water-based and scratches like crazy.

I get the feeling that these cars are the last of a breed that will go 200k miles or more. Despite increased green consciousness and fuel economy, we're becoming a throwaway culture, even with big-ticket purchases. Yeah that 2013 Kia will get 45 mpg highway, but the driver and passenger heated/cooled seats will probably fail by 75k miles and eventually catch on fire.

Im on my phone right now or id post some pics. I love the debadged rear just gives a clean look. I think badges look like tramp stamps. Also ride height as far as handling goes a little lower is better but not slammed. At 24.5 gtf I was plowing through over a foot of snow no issues even when it was over the hood. The semi lower like I was is a clean look. You will NEVER see a super car with wheel gap.

i did this too, i love the audi logo, but i like a clean looking body.

and i dont need anyone knowing whats under my hood. seems a little too personal for the whole world to know =P

oh id also liek to add, for ride height on the b5(specifically) ill only lower it enough to keep me from looking like im drivign a jeep.
when i get my new wheels, i think imma try those raceland coilovers, and ill have them lowered to look like my new 17/18" wheels look stockish
