Very nice — I'm looking forward to your progress!

BTW, you've got a very pretty engine bay. You should upload an up-close pic of it!

Thank you! I uploaded one and put it under the other engine bay pics.

If it's a CPO I would maybe consider it but not likely! That's a lot of miles!

It's everything I want in an S4 and I offered 25k. I don't think it's a CPO but I would go right into modding it so CPO wouldn't be needed. If I did get it I plan on taking a few things off of my car to install on this before selling it. Is 25k still to much for this?

[inv3rtig0]

It is a bit of miles, but if you're ok with that, sounds like a pretty good deal. Also first model year of the B8 S4 (no 2009s, right?). I'm always hesitant about first MY, but haven't done any research on the '10 S4s to know if there's anything to worry about or not.

I would never buy any first year car, so 2009 or 2013 ever. I don't think they will take the offer of 25k so it doesn't matter. Looking at throwing the S4/S-Line bumpers on soon if I decide to stick with my car. I just need to find a better deal on the front bumper first, and of course upgrade to K04.

For whatever its worth, I'm pretty sure 2009 S4 was Cabriolet only, 2010 was the first S4 sedan. At least in the US.

Hmmmm, I think you're right. Now it makes me only want it 50% now. Lol


Update: They called and want 28k, so it looks like it's time to buy my mods.

[The Infiltrator]

Question:
Would you buy seats out of a 2009 Alcantara S-Line with the door panels for $1800 shipped? They are the same as the picture below. I think it's a little over priced, but I did talk him down $400...

Get that ECS vent boost gauge and tell me how it is! I hadn't even heard of it until you linked it in this thread, looks pretty slick.

I'll get it soon but these seats are what I'm looking at for the next mod (The link above your last post). I wanted the AWE since it was installed in the left vent and not the right, out of the way. They don't sell them anymore on their site so I guess they didn't do so well. I'm also trying to find anyone that has it installed and how they like it.

Looking good. Keep it up

[B G 8er]

I think you should just keep your car. You have put so much TLC into it and know it's history. The S4's DSG if it takes a dump you will be in so much trouble. If the S-Line seats your looking at are in great shape, you will love the sport seats! Why not look for actual S4 seats from a newer - wrecked car? I'd go for the leather ones though, more elegant and easier to keep clean.

Yeah I'm not getting the S4 do to it being over priced for the age and miles.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181720266020...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

$1800 for the other Alcantara seats above is a lot of money but it would be $1500 without the door panels though. Should I get the set or wait?

Buuuuut, I would really like a set of these.

Thank you! I have some things I'll be adding Wednesday.

Those bad boys are going to be real pricey

You could probably get that S4 for cheaper than those!

[The Infiltrator]

Oh I know, lol. I was kind of joking but then again really wanting those seats. lol



If anyone finds S-Line or S4 seats please message me. I found some but they are over priced and look dirty as hell on eBay.

I got my wheel and black brushed trim installed, love it! They sent it with the wrong badge so I hope they check their email and send me the one I ordered, S-Line.

Very nice. That steering wheel completely changes the interior.

Quick questions
- how long was install?
- do you have the paddles coded already?
- does the buttons on the wheel work/coded?

I was reading an ad for this steering wheel on EBay and the seller claimed these FBSW's don't fit all Audis, and his very identical one to yours won't fit an A4 but made specific for an A3 or S3. Any truth to that stuff? Thx

[Steff86]

Wow it looks fantastic you did a great job do you know if the steering wheel comes in Cream or tan color I have a 2009 A4

The steering wheel took about 30 min with codeing. The coding is easy and if you go up to my list of things I want to upgrade, look under the two links for the steering wheel. That is the thread where you can see what wheels there are, how to install and how to code. Ebay has wheels to but the wiring is different on some wheels and bags so you have to make sure it'll work. The site on the thread I'm talking about will make sure it's the right one for you car.

I have only seen black but you can always get one from eBay and re-wrap the wheel to the color you need. The only issue would be the black air bag since the flat bottom wheels have round ones.

The new wheel looks great! Amazing how a new steering wheel transforms the cabin. Nice job on wrapping the trim pieces, too -- very sharp.

/I still have to wrap my center console trim -- been wussin' out on having to pull the whole console.

Thank you and yes it changed the whole look for sure. It's easy to pull, I didn't want to do it either but it was easy.

The titanium I picked is between this and the darker color you have.

Oh, lol I read it wrong and thought you wanted to be inspired to order some. You'll have to post some pics when you install it.

[The Infiltrator]

I just installed the interior and exterior LED's. I ordered one pack of the first link and two packs of the second in the links below. These pics don't show how much better it makes it look.

Yeah I'm to far in on modding for me to sell it and get good money out of it. I have a nice little mod list at the top under all the pics. Lots to do!
