lol thanks guys. Yes I am going to paint it black. I am just filling and sanding all of the dings. I am going to take the vert rims off and put my other 17's on it. I am also going to pull the interior and put my s5 leather doors, my brand new leather vert seats, already have put my s5 radio and shifter surround on. Interior plastic is going black, I am selling the rear bucket seats and converting all of the carpet to black.

oh yah, what are ya thoughts on putting my s5 stock mirrors in place of these manual mirrors? PITA?

I also want to put my custom lip and my non pop up lights.

I will also be removing those mud guards as well.

I vote no on the non pop-ups! They just really add to the car IMO, unless ur doin the FC2000 front end.

hmm. U might be right. I found a nice cf NACA duct to go on the pass light. I might do that with a lip and my gunmetal rims.

oh btw I am rebuilding the motor in the next few weeks. Getting it ported for free. It already has s5 rotors and new RA seals, something is wrong with a bearing in it. Thinking of throwing my spare s5 manifold on it.
