Need Some Suggestions
#21
Well its always nice to get recognition when driving an Audi, believe it or not the biggest part is keeping that bad girl clean. Nothing says I'm driving my mom's car louder than the wheels being full of brake dust, and having bird crap all over it. Needless to say, a nice set of 19" or 18" OE wheels from a newer (04, 05, 06) S4 should do the trick. Along with 35% tints all around, and finally the OEM rear spoiler if your car did not come with it.

Easiest way, IMHO, is a nice set of wheels (mesh or thin 5-spoke), and maybe drop it about 1/2". Painted lowers will make other Audi owners notice you, but non-Audi owners'll prolly never notice that particular mod.
You could make all that happen for under $3k, I believe, and have loot left for tha Honeys!

I think he was talking about a 6 speed manual transmission.
You have a nice car, and it's nice to know that you have the ability to say you bought it yourself. The whole thing about ricer wings and neon lights, and who knows what else was mentioned is all in sarcasm. The overwhelming majority of the good people here are very anti-ricer. And obviously your choice of vehicle says a lot about you.
But don't permanently attach a class of '11 sticker to your car, you will regret it, in about a year, when you go to college. In fact, if you go to college away from home, that will be enough to stop the looks. For now, I wouldn't worry too much about it, it's probably the look of envy anyway.
For a better idea of some simple, tasteful, "make it more me" mods, post your question up in the A6 section, and I'm sure you'll get some good, inexpensive, ideas.

Also, Any advice on what sort of Decal i should get? If any at all?
Im trying to go as least expensive as i possibly can. At the moment im a CNA and i take my EMT course in the late fall. and then my Paramedics eventually. so i wont be able to work for that time so i might be a little short on money if i blow it all on a $1,200 magnaflow kit. or some spendy rims. so if you know a good site i could get cheaper rims on that would be sick too!

P.s. Sorry if i couldn't get to quoting everyone's ideas. i am in a little bit of a hurry. Got to party while i still can this summer. CHEEUH!

I think 50% might be worth it, it'll add a nice touch.
Shop around used online here and VWvortex.com for some inexpensive usedwheels. (Stop calling them rims, people don't like that around here, just a heads up). You're looking for 5x112 bolt pattern, which most Audi and VW have, but I'm not sure of the offset on the A6. I wouldn't go bigger than 18" because very few people can pull off the look (Jeremy, if you're reading this, you are a rare exception).
A new exhaust with a good low growl would definitely help too. Whatever you decide to go with, do what makes you happy, and expresses yourself. You drive a fine piece of German engineering, and I still think the looks are envy more than anything. But like it was stated before, make sure you keep her clean...

You know, that's another nice way to step apart, and a pretty easy DIY-mod, if you take your time.
De-badge!
Hit up eBay for a clean grill.
If you don't wanna be just another kid w/black wheels, spend a little to get them painted body-color. With your color green it would DEFINITELY be worth the money, for the look you'd have. You cud possibly DIY this, too, but the chances of messing it up are pretty good if you've never done it before. Pay someone and get the cleanest possible job done! Find some decent black 18"ers you like, with a nice chrome lip, to start with...
Add the tint (50% is plenty, trust me)
De-badged
And the color-matched wheels
Stainless-steel exhaust
Maybe look to paint your calipers (yellow, of course), down the line
Then, start saving up for a supercharger-kit
Ummm... You're independently wealthy, right?!?!?

I will hunt you down and punch you in the jugular if you put green wheels on your car. But it's your ride do what ya want

Wheels (19" VMR 710's look great on an A6), coil overs or spring/shock combo, exhaust (not too loud just sporty), chip. Enjoy it

Those are 18's and not lowered. You can see why I chose 19's and lowered but you get the idea.

p.s. for those of you reading and dont know what color polo green is. It's very similar to Racing green, but a little darker still.
