Hey guys,

I saw this S4 on Ebay. Thought you guys might want to see it. I'm gonna save a pic of it and try to model my cosmetic upgrades after it. Lemme know what y'all think.

By the way, I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this car. I just keep looking at S4's for sale online--even though I just bought one. Sick, but true.

Not to rip on it, but the eyelids look cheap, not to mention the M3 mirrors look dumb.

 

I agree with you on the side mirrors. I dig the body kit though.

 

I dont like the rear bumper. I think it looks ricey when your exhaust fits through your bumper. And agreed the the mirrors dont look "audi like"

 

i love it, i just wish it had the RS4 body kit on it, and didnt have those eye lids

 

its pretty sloppy...

 

the eyelids, blackouts, mirrors, and body kit are all GHEY. The only thing good on that car are the BBS wheels...

 

This car probably looked nice before they went to work on it.

 

What's interesting about this discussion is the direction that the majority of S4 owners tend to take with their cars.

The last car I really modified was a '98 Civic back in college that we did a good amount of work to. A large part of that work was cosmetic. Despite that, I was pretty conservative in terms of "flash" compared to a ton of people in the Civic aftermarket.

With the S4, people seem to be very, very conservative (and I am referring to cosmetic upgrades)--which is neither bad nor good. I'm not rendering a judgment here, simply making an observation. The thing that strikes me is that the S4 is simultaneously an extremely conservatively styled car. Considering its amazing performance potential, there isn't much "flash" that goes along with it. Again, neither good nor bad, just an observation.

Where S4 owners seem to be completely NON-conservative is with performance upgrades/mods.

I guess that part of this S4 owner mentality must come from the heritage of the car (i.e. German luxury) and the price of the car. Specifically, outlandish cosmetic upgrades (like that hideous S4 with the flamed paint job that was posted recently) degrade the overall intrinsic value of the car, which comes from its heritage.

Just observations.

 

Um... I think I just vomitted a little bit.

Sorry but I'm a fan of stock looking sleepers.
