Candy tails, pillar/interior paint, you can dye your headliner, ummmm a few other stuff as well like painting your side markers orange for that "JAY DEE EM" look. :)

I've got a ton more to add. When Uncle gets caught up, they'll all be on the DIY page.

Until then here is a link to a few. http://www.scikotics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14041

you can always take out that orange reflector out of the headlights. just remove the haedlights and use a flathead srewdriver to remove it without baking the lights. its pretty easy

How about putting some wire loom over the front a/c line you can see through the lower grille.

You can paint some of the inside parts. I did the Grey parts around the HU, all of the door looks and the Speedo cover.

You can rewire your side marker lights to stay on all the time with the headlights....and still blink with your turn signals.. Paint some interior pieces....some underhood parts....calipers. Add some LEDs also...they are dirt cheap at oznium.

finally debadged the box this week. also put a new exhause tip to better fit the cut out. changed the hubcaps(getting rims after winter) to a darker color to match, and am ordering the rs4 color matching spray paint, and painting the interior hopefully soon.

intake is soon on the list. anyone got one?

any gas improvement?

debadge, removed rear wiper, removed all my interior (headliner, pillars, rear seats, my dash, glove box, center consel, etc) and paint/fabricate, color wire loom engine bay, clear headlights, blacked out tail lights....these are just a few of the things i have done on my own that were inexpensive.....

Injen SRI is the intake I went with and saw no gas mileage improvements. Best mileage improvement comes from driving / accelerating slower.

How did you get the piece off the auto transmission button? Still puzzled on how we get that off.
