Default Need Modification Ideas - PICS

Hey guys,

I need some ideas for my car. I was thinking about doing a few appearance mods, whether inside or out, and I just can't think of what to do! I can't afford rims, so that's out of the question.. Also my blackbird stripes are kinda fading, so i don't know if I should get new ones. Would a different color stripe, or different kind of stripe, look better? Gimme any ideas you may have, please!

PICS:









Thanks guys

Man your car is pretty much right there. I would get the new blackbird stripes in the dark color, then get the ram air letters in the lighter color. The colors would be the same as your front bird I mean. Other than that, get some silver gauge overlays and some LED's then call it a day! Nice car!

The phrase, "Less is More" would best suit your car. Its already clean and classy but since you cant afford rims, and judging by your sig you already have some mods, the only option would be to add some chrome/polished items to your engine bay (specialized stainless) or just add some white face guages to your interior. You have done what most people want to do (CETA Mod, BB Stripes, and the front filler plate). Good luck, oh and what part of NY are you from?

Interior: Switch to a M6 style shift **** w/ WS6 engraved & adapter kit for A4's (WS6Store.com has this for you). Macewen overlay's for your guages & change out that leather on your seat's. Leatherseats.com i believe is the site, and change em out to black w/ red in the middle??? if you like that idea or all black. Other then that, not much else to do really.

Exterior: New blackbird stripes if your's are fading & same color. Dual exhaust tips (think it looks awhole lot better then a single tip style. Especially on T/A's). Rims of course, but when you can afford em.

That's all i can think of for now, car looks great as it is man.

Sounds good guys, thanks for the compliments. So far I've got LED map & dome lights, and LED license plate bulb. I have 6 #74 LED's for the HVAC (i cant figure out how to get the bulb out for my life) and some other stuff.

I'm on Long island btw, dont think near you?

The blackbird stripes sounds good with black and silver Ram Air decals..

Oh yeah, how'd you guys do your tips? Sawzall the old ones off and just clamp the new ones on? I have like a 4" exhaust so it might be a pain in the *** lol.

It looks pretty good man! All I would do if you want to change is make the CETA and the blackbird stripes Charcoal over black, get some Corsa style tips, some HID's and call it done!

I like it as is. Replace the stripes if you have to, start saving for wheels.

I bought some HIDs for the headlights, and im looking for some fogs.. I cannot find deep blue fog lights at all, without having to buy an HID kit. Is the kit the only way? Or does anyone have a good place to get deep blue fogs

HID's are really the only way, I had some blue halogens on my other car and they just don't compare to HID's.
