None of the above ws6 hood and rims could come later, but for right now id through some easy mods at it. Lid flow pack, exhaust, trottle body, stuff like that. You didn't get a trans am to throw subs and big rims on it did you.

I was the first to vote, and I voted wheels and tires. Be unique and keep the base model hood........everyone has a ram air hood.

I agree Wheels can set the car off.
And look for something different don't go with the cookie cutter TT2's, ZO6's Etc...

I agree with 2000Blackcamaross, Start dumping into performance, or maybe get some performance then something for show etc..
Ultimately it is your car, you are going to do what you want to it, but IMO, Your car could like like a million $, but if it runs like a Yugo....well then...

There is nothing like a good looking car (not too gotti) that also can outperform most anything thats tossed at it!

Since you are asking, I am throwing my .02 in, and thats what I would do, maybe start with some free mods, and if you have the funds, get a cam, LT Headers, maybe throw some new shocks, and springs, subframe connector, Supercharger etc...

Nothing, but I like the stock 5spoke, and finally got a set!

However, I say get a CD-MP3 Deck, and if you have the 10-speaker package, upgrade those speakers. Don't get a sub, that's so tacky and adds weight. My 10 speaker sounds beautiful and it's all stock, puts out enough bass even for the techno. Now unless you like cRap, then I guess go for amp and subs :\

If not that, gears. 3.73 for A4, 4.10 for M6

IMO man- Ditch the HyperCRAP, its probably doing more harm than good... Get a lid, and the #1 must have mod for any A4 car- Torque Converter. Then finish ur exhaust.

Otherwise i'd go w/ wheels! Enjoy!

I change my previous "gears" idea to "mail order tune". Both ideally, but the latter will be nicer
