Not feeling the bronze wheels or the splitter...And stickers FTL...

With all that black trim, black wheels would have looked meaner.

But good work anyway...

That's one of the sickest A4s I've ever seen. I haven't seen many though.

thanks!

wheels are actually titanium asphalt to be exact.. i've been thru 5 pairs of rims.. all types of colors (silver, gold, dark gunmetal, black, and these).. so far, i think they look the best

i only have 3 stickers.. two audizine.com's and one on the hood.. it not overkill at all

Not too crazy about the splitter hood or moldings but it does look mean.

As much as I like your A4, I personally think your TL was a hotter looking car.

I think the intercooler looks funny too. Looks out of place, or something.

i don't see carbon fiber side skirts.

and if the car is equipped with a front bbk already, a rear bbk has little to no value at all.

What are the black flares at the bottom of the doors? Do they serve a purpose?

I think the question of a rear BBK was raised for asthetic purposes only. The tiny OEM brakes look a little silly behind those huge wheels.

What's your handle on Audizine? I'm on there too with the same handle I have on Acurazine.

Isn't there such a thing as brake balance?

So if you bought an S4 and modded that, you should have bought an RS4?

In my opinion yes. I'd rather have a higher version of a stock car than one altered to be as good as the higher version. Just my preference.

To each their own.

Buying a car and modding it != buying a higher model.

There are different values in each of those philosophies.

I for one think it looks great. As for the side moldings, aren't those from the sport OEM kit, but he just painted them black? I kinda like it. Great job buddy

yeah they do look tiny.. i've upgraded the rotors and got some hawkHPS pads to give them a lil aggressive bite.. no need for rear brakes since my car doesn't nose dive during hard braking

and actually the door flares are functional as well look good imo.. they are designed to keep rain, snow, and debris off the side of the car/windows for better visibility.. the door flares create a low pressure pocket at the base of the car - german engineering

Looks hot!

BUT....I still never will understand why someone would put such a wide wheel on their car and wrap it with rubber that's not wider than the wheel to avoid curb rash...Just looks stupid to me...

Oh, and my brother's TL lease expired, I just got him an '08 A4 2.0T Quattro, Black/Black, Premium, Convenience, Navigation/iPod, S-Line, Titanium Pkg, Bluetooth, etc....HOT car...I'll post some pics when I remember to...
