Your favorite mod of all time???

I've heard diode mode will mess up your air-to-fuel ration and make the car goes on limp mode. Not to mention the boost will be "messy". Let us know how it goes though.

Im The Devil - I decided not to paint my trim but rather go with similar approach as you only different material. Went down to a local walmart and picked up 2 yards of this fabric that looks like carbon fiber from far ( black and dark grey checkered with black pieces being suede) I will have to take a picture and show it to you... I layed it over some trim and it matches the rest of interior pretty damn good and makes everything look so much better. So i cant wait to see how to take them trims off so i can start layering and wrapping it in fabric. Im sure i will have some left so you can have the rest and wrap whatever you want in it. I think you going to like it. I will post pictures after work today

I'll put pics up again soon in this thread.
Emil, that fabric sounds cool but if it's going to work it needs to have some thickness or the glue will bleed through.

fabric is actually double lined and the inner part looks to be some what water proof. I wouldn't use a lot of glue anyways but i hear what you saying. I dont know i have enough of it to mess around with and see what and how it will look. My major problem is removing the trim from the car loll. I have a day off tomorrow so i will see if i can do car doors first and then see maybe i could do some dash trim. I will take bunch of pictures tomorrow as me and my friend going to be detailing our cars. I will also post the grille that i made along with the fabric pictures. Wish me luck bro

As far as my mods go i lowered the car earlier this spring and finally did the cc mod and some 5k HIDs. Later on (when I get my car back) I will be doing blacked out grille trim and a hard wired iPod adapter.

My summer consists of working my *** off to pay for some nice mods. First and foremost is getting the car all the parts it needs to run well. A new clutch mainly a headliner would be rad, I was thinking a plaid, something dark and subtle. I've heard of dying interiors white, but has anyone heard of black? If I could afford it I'd love to have my seats re-upholstered in real black. Right now they're like a deep navy along with the rest of the interior. Bleh. A forge splitter valve soon and a front engine mount from APR? One idea I've been kicking around is my valve cover and intake manifold. I cant decide between powdercoating and polishing. I was thinking to polish, (by hand cuz I'm ghetto) because thats a lot cheaper than powdercoating and if I hate it I can powdercoat over it. Any other suggestions? Oh, a tint is in order. I have a silver 1998 a4, and I want to go for the black on silver look.
Final question of opinion: Rims. I was originally going to get 17 or 18 RS6 reps and powdercoat them matte black. I love that look. But I really like the dish look as well. I wonder what a matte black dish would look like, like a TSW Snetterton or something. I'm talking face and lip, all black. comments?

Yeah man Black on Silver is a touch look to go for but if you have everything just the right way it will look sweet. I have a silver also and im going to black and silver look too. I gave up on the idea of painting car black and yellow when i found out how much its going to cost me. So far i have black 18's BSA 304's, CF hood, Black projectors. Looking into painting or vinyl wrapping my roof this summer and tomorrow im going to attempt what Jeremy "Im the Devil" did with his interior by wrapping my "wood" trim in fabric, which if it turned out the way i want will look amazing. Eventually thinking about getting CF euro trunk but not very sure as i have a pair of kickers in the trunk which will probably rattle trunk even more than it already is. If everything goes well I will post pictures tomorrow of my new trim look and if im not lazy maybe eve DIY on it

e-brake sleeve:
Beltline trim:
If I find the pics of the A-pillars and rear decklid, I'll post them too, but you should get the idea from these. It's a really nice change overall, and one you don't see much at all. Before this, I had painted all the beltline trim and the stereo surround panel in metallic silver to match the car but I got tired of it. I redid it with the suede, but did the stereo surround in a piano black finish and the contrast, to me, is exactly what I wanted. Once the B- and C-pillars are done, and the headliner, I'll put pics of everything up at once.
