With this great haul of weather we got here (great for Borading, not so for driving) i thought id make a thread to see what Beyond members do to their winter beaters. this will be my first winter with a beater as i have just drove year round. i just picked up a 88 Eagle Premier (Audi 5000 minus the quattro) and its pretty mint just needs a tune up and a battery. anyways i was thinkin why not have a thread dedicated to the crazy mods poeple do to there beaters.

Me personally since i just got the car today after seeing it i was thinking of painting the side molding (grey with a red paint job) flat black and blacking out the grill. tinting the rear windows and doors. changing the stock steering wheel to my spare tenzo R and new exhuast.

Post pics if you can as it will make the thread that much better and details. this is something to laugh at and pass the nice weather by with. i will have pics up once i get started. so go at it and have fun hahahaha.

Can I just add that if you drive a beater, make sure of a few things.... Make sure it stops, and make sure it actualyl has winter tires on it.

After that, all is good. I just don't need someone's 'beater' making mine into one because they plow into it. kthanx. :thumbsup:

As for paint jobs. Flat black woudl suffice for me. The truck in that other link didn't deserve to go out like that.... :D

Mods will probably be some rims, intake, exhaust, etc.. Going to keep it clean and not rig-pig it...
