    Default spring long weekend = The Audi getting some long needed attention

    Well I finally had some time to work on my car this weekend, and it was awesome!! I installed my USP (still waiting on grills and S4 sides.. I wont mention who from) and decided to color match it to my lowers. My buddy is the western canada distributor for PPG paint so we mixed it up and sprayed it over the weekend. The car is going in for paint mid may if audi warranties my clear coat peeling so i figured i would wait.
    Anyways weekend of mods included:

    1) USP front
    2) color matched USP and Vinny mod (which im not sure i really like)
    3) started my new carbon fibre fabric interior
    4) machined a EGR blockoff plate (welder buddies can be handy)
    5) complete removal of SAI (found my boost leak!)
    6) finished my heat shield (double sheet metal layers seperated by insulation cardboard)
    7) CF fabric bumper trim
    8) put the 20x9 MRR HR4's back on (i need new brakes bad!)
    9) installed my 3000k fog hids

    It was a busy weekend!

    I think color matching the lower pieces would look much better and would also make the rims look better.

    I don't like the rims or the grille, but I like your car.

    thanks for the comments and criticism guys. the car is going to be painted, im just in a bit of a battle right now with Audi warranty and my peeling clear coat. why would i paint all the lowers when I can have it done at the same time for a couple extra bucks when Audi pays for the rest? Plus im still waiting on my rear and skirts, not to mention new interior trim, and AVIC surround.

    I love the big rims, they look great spinnin. ill post a pic on my winter 18's. and the grill stays!

    I think you should put the Audi emblem back on the front and paint match. The front end looks like it's missing something huge without the emblem.

    Color match the lower portion, would look 100000x better.

    Also new tails, they look dated and gross.

    Market mall right?
