Cool New one in town, whats up to everyone

well im am the proud new owner of a 1999 TA A4/ w just 44,000k. My previous car which i still own is a 1993 firebird. So i had always wanted a TA but as a college student it was tough getting one but it finally happened. Its a stock A/4 fully loaded, but i am on the market for a ws6 hood and box, but dont know wether to go original or aftermarket. Any ideas or sugg. or sellers let me know.

Lid, the air lid that covers the air filter, usually one of the first parts replaced when modding (all give close to the same HP so get whatevers cheap or you like the look of)
Bellows is what connects the lid to the MAF, replacing that with a smooth bellows is more for appearance than for performance (some will disagree I'm sure) if you can get a smooth one for cheap go ahead (won't hurt)
If you're looking for other mods, a set of sub frame connectors makes a good one, makes the car feel more tied together, after that a stall, then whatever you want (or can afford )
Congrats on the purchase, sounds like a nice T/A, looking forward to pics
