yeah upstate in washington, my bad...Seattle area.

as for the angle, i'm gonna model it closer to the B6 boser made by DTM karbon, as i am not too fond of the sharpness of the one made for the B5. when i get the car up there today my body guy and i are going to discuss how we want it to look. will be fully custom

pic for reference-will hopefully have a slight curvature similar to this

like I said before, if anyone can make a boser look good on a b5 to me it'll be you. I think you have one of my all time favorite A4's ever.

i will try to have him take pictures as he goes, so i can keep you guys updated of the progress.

on the downside, i put some blue lamin-x on my headlamps to see how it would look, and its too damn bright, so i will have to remove that...i'm sure you guys will see in the pictures. just wasnt my style or the look i was going for.

What are you doing with your c/f hood?
Been curious what a grey would look centered through black, but never wondered about blue. Should be interesting.
