my issue is i have no idea how to work with cars at all so this will be an adventure. Time wont really be an issue this audi is just my winter car, have an 01 mustang for the summer..talk about slow lol audi blows it away. The fabric looks sick on it though must say. just have no idea what else to do to the interior and outside of it to make it look nicer. someone pm some cheap and easy ideas that they have done maybe. would appriecate it.Want mine to have a nice look like yours emil have cash to throw at it, just not the knowledge

^ I really thought the same as you before attempting any work. I just finished fixing a broken window regulator, not too big of a deal. Pulling the trim an re-doing it should be pretty straight forward. Especially if you have the time, go for it. This would probably be the cheapest mod for the interior. the only other option you have is swapping everything out for something else which could be a big undertaking.

You'll never know what you can accomplish until you try......

One thing I plan on doing is taking the little fighter jet style toggle switches and throwing some in my car. That little indent next to the handbrake is what I want to fill. Put a toggle, a flip switch and a momentary switch and hook them up to rediculous things. For example, I've always wanted a way to control all the interior lights in the car at once. Have the "on" postion be whatever setting the controls are at and the off position override the selector switches and be off. So then I can turn off the lights with the doors open and not have to reach behind to the rear lights.

Lay some custom CF over to make it trim with the consol and I'll be happy.

Or another I just thought of. Use the bluetooth mic and connect it to a PA at the front of the car. Then use the previously mentioned momentary switch as the talk button on the CB radio. Instead of having some big CB reciever in the car, I'll have a stealth PA only system utilizing stock equipment. Let the pedestrian harassment begin!

Yeah, after I wrote that I realized how rediculously far fetched it was.
