Calvinf1 - 2004 IR ///M - My story

calvinf1 · Tue, Jan-12-2010, 08:43:06 PM

Well its been a long time coming but here is my story...

Life before the ///M:
2003 Audi B6 A4 3.0L QT. Rieger body kit, Borla catback, Stratmosphere CAI, Faulken Koblenz 19"

And then picked her up in 2005 as a CPO with 15.5K on the clock.

Didn't take long before the mod bug started... pedals and hand brake.

35% tint

Angel eyes..

Exhaust: Eisenmann Race (Not in the picture is a Borla V1 midpipe)

Spent some more money and bought some more shiet... CSL diffuser, BBS LMs, GC Coilovers, painted deflectors, Depo corners.

And then the Strass lip and Harman Style fog duct. I loved the look of this setup

Then I found a good deal on a VCSL trunk on the West coast that already came painted.

Some pretty shots

Then I found a good deal on a V-GTR vented hood that was already painted...

Then I finally found a V-CSL bumper that was already painted... (yeah so far I've lucked out on the painted parts)

And then one day I dropped some more cash $$$ StopTech 355mm 4-wheel kit (F&R)

And now as it stands (1/11/10)

Looks great

you really did luck out with all the VCSL parts already painted IR haha. Sadly that stuff never pops up in PY. Question - what do you think of the 35% tint? I got 30% on mine and although I like it much better than no tint at all, I think I would have preferred darker as even 30% is see-through at night.

about time! haha..nice to see how it all started. Beautiful car!

calvinf1 · Wed, Jan-13-2010, 02:15:06 AM

Well I chose 35% because I didn't want it to be too dark to attract the popo... Living in Philly, cops are VERY sensitive about not being about to look through the windows.
