Smile What can be done to my 2000 A8

Hi guys,

I owned my 2000 A8 for almost 2 years already, it has been sitting for about 3 months not being started or driven because I am a used car dealer here in Syracuse, NY and I specialize in cars like Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, VWs and so on. I drive the cars around that I have for sale, but I got my A8 and today I started it up I got 193K on it already but there are no issues with it, no warning lights, its already tinted. Now my question is what should I do to make it sweet looking. I was thinking making it look the S8 since I have the short body style. Please reply to me if you have any ideas what I can do with the car to make it pretty cool looking and maybe add some performance to it. Thanks

Well, aside from a GIANT WING, Stickerzz, coffee can-sized exhaust tips and some 50" rimz with a big-brake, kit I'd say go with NAWZ and a lowering-kit!
(ignore ALL but the big-brake and lowering-kit: http://oemplus.com/index.php?main_pa...roducts_id=528 , that and maybe some decent 19"ers versus the 50" wheels)

Put a 12v Cummins under the hood, that'll be good for at least an extra 600HP and maybe 1500ft-lbs torque if tuned right.

I don't know if you already know but there are several locals around you (ImTheDevil as one of them). Maybe they can help you out.

Anyway, I'd suggest some air ride systems and 19's or 20's.

I like the lowering suspension, that's pretty nice and not too much money. Also for anybody local if somebody is looking for an Audi, I got couple A6s and few A4s right now in stock.

I think sweet would be swapping everything over to a 2005 f-250 frame and then lifting that bitch till it touches the sky. Audi is the true off-road king right?
