Modding of My Phantom Black S4 Begins HERE!

[A4Ber]

I worked on my car the whole day today. I know mine is not as good as Phil's but I tried my best. I took some shots at a mall parking lot during the sunset. Enjoy.

Looks very nice but I was told before not to change the fog into whiter lights as yellow lights actually does cut through the fog

[foodplz]

How exactly did you get the grills off to change the fogs? i couldn't find the DIY in the forum. Thanks.

[A4Ber]

Yeah, I know but I just want them to match so they look better. Anyway, our fogs are not even that yellow anyway. I had thoughts about changing them to very yellow.

There are clips on the driver side...you can actually feel those clips. The passenger side is different though. I just pull it out a bit with my hand, and it comes right off. After that, just push it back in and make sure the clips are secure. You can actually hear the clip snaps when you push it back in!

You could also make he LEDs stay full brightness with your parking lights, windows up/ down with remote, etc. But definitely turn off he yellow parking light in front housing so it looks euro.

[Calabria]

Very clean/classy so far, are you 6spd and what color is your interior, from the last set of pics it either looks tan or red, nice either way. Guessing your in the process of getting a front plate filler (please say gloss black). Have you thought about LED plate bulbs?

[snosk8tr123]

Where did you get the tint done? I just got my Quartz Gray S4 and I'm in the Richmond District!

[vjma]

So how do you like the new HID so far? Are they brighter/dimmer than stock? I am interested but am worry about it being dimmer as it is usually the case with the higher k. How the way, did you install them yourself?

[audib8nyc]

Thanks PhiL~!!

BTW, i will have some photos of some yellow fogs tonight.

[ranch]

Is that a blue microfiber towel? I've never been good at drying the car after washing; I always seem to end up with tiny droplets left behind. Can you dry the car with just a couple of towels?

Yeah, But wash your car during like sunset where not much sun around, because you will get water spot that way. I used 3 towels today : ). Not completely dry but about 90%.

Not to mention SF changed the tap water about 6 years ago, and it leaves nasty crusty water spots if you let it dry on the paint. [:(]

I might have to hook up one of those foam gun thingies! Looks like fun!

Re: Anyway to turn off the yellow front parking light?

from the A4 forum replies to my original question. 1st vag turns off the parking light at night and the second turns off the winking with turn signal

[foodplz]

on the note about side markers. Has anybody ever tried putting headlight tint JUST on the side markers. I feel like it could look really good... especially on black cars like yours... and my photoshops of it has come out okay.

just a far cheaper way getting rid of the amber without spending 1700 on ecodes.

[A4Ber]

Yes vagcom.

Not sure the code though...I will find out for you tomorrow.

I put lamin-x gunsmoke film on my sidemarkers and they turned out just fine. Cost about $8.

[joseaudi]

and sell them. A friend went on BMW forums and found a guy making cut outs that had a print on them to make the marker look clear. Kind of like the nascar stickers that look like headlights. Maybe someone could cut out a template of this lamin-x stuff and sell it to us.

[PhantomMenace]

Just picked up my Phantom Black S4 last Friday. Yours looks great. I did a 23% tint job on mine. I want to get a bunch of mods done soon too, but probably won't be a smart idea to do stuff before winter though.

[A4Ber]

So, David, to get this thread back on track...any new pics or mods? [:d]

yep... saw anthony's post too

[NWS4Guy]

So back on topic ;)

Now that you have had the 6K lights in for a while, how is the distance on these? I have seen make higher temp lights that look great from outdside the car, but with the truer white color they don't project as far, so you don't have as good distance at night.

[A4Ber]

Finally!!! Thx to Ryne and Nick from AE. Installing it tomorrow!

My friend got my SLR, and i took this with my iPhone.

[AE Performance]

Can't wait to see it installed!! Should look incredible on your car, David. :)

[legbend]

Details on the grill? Price, wait time, etc? Core charge?

[Ryne@AE Performance]

Details on the grill? Price, wait time, etc? Core charge?

The grille runs $350 + Core Exchange. This includes the black optic filler plate as well (make sure your core exchange includes filler plate).

Wait time is 1 week from order at this point. David's was a bit longer because his was the first in the country. :)

Ryne

and i was not home when fedex came : (

[B8 Phantom S4]

That looks super clean. I was wondering what the black optics grill would look like on a phantom black S4. Cant wait for installed pics

[legbend]

Ever look into doing the same thing for the window trim?

[PhantomMenace]

How much for the piece without exchanging the core? That's exactly what I was looking for...maybe even blacking out the rings too.

[A4Ber]

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2596/4014990919_8cd7dfc1a5_o.jpg

Installed! photoshoot soon!!!

[B8 Phantom S4]

Installed! photoshoot soon!!!

oh my good lord. I think I just nutted...

[Okan509]

I like the rings to be contrasting the black! All in all looks great, really want to do this to mine

[L0U]

now that is how audi should send them from the factory. It looks way better than the original.

[legbend]

Holy carp!

How was the installation process? Did you do it yourself?

[PhantomMenace]

That grill is definitely ON POINT. Gonna order one right now =P

[A4Ber]

Holy carp!

How was the installation process? Did you do it yourself?

Yes I did it at my friend's body shop. 2 screws on each of the wheel side. 3 silver screws on the center bottom. 1 screw on each side of the bumper. Then I just followed anthony's guide to take off the headlights. After that, there are 1 screw from each side inside the bumper and that's it. There are like 8 screws on the grille but they can be easily seen after taking off the bumper. It took me about 45 mins to take it off and install it back on! I wanted to write a diy but I did not have a camera with me.

[Ryne@AE Performance]

That grill is definitely ON POINT. Gonna order one right now =P

We are open until 6PM today and would be glad to help you out. :)

Regards,

[S4mat]

First off, the grille looks awesome. I've been thinking of doing gunmetal accents (emblem, mirrors, diffusers) to replace the chrome and brushed alum on my phantom black B8 S4.

Sorry for poaching your pic but thought I'd share my low budget PhotoShops

I think he means KW V1's, not ValentineOne.

[Calabria]

Would have went with this filler http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B8_A4-Quattro-2.0T/Exterior/Body/ES251416/
But none the less, looks better then before.

[S4mat]

[:o] oops.

[Banan]

Nice car A4Ber!

I took a red S4 Avant for a spin yesterday and it was an amazing ride. To bad the sports-diff isn't available for the A4 because it really makes a world of difference! I couldn't imagine that it would be that noticeable.

[redwoods4]

great shots!!!!!!!!!!

[Blake P]

Getting v1 install tomorrow.

Well..?

[A4Ber]

I havent post for a long time and here are some pictures on the KW V1. I will take some more photos this coming friday. I am getting something done that day on my car.

[A4Ber]

very nice do you know if the kv v3's are out yet

Yes they are. I think you can find it through germany kw site. They are same as the regular a4 avant suspensions.

[Blake P]

Nicely done, David!

The HRE blanks are STILL on backorder?![eek]

[A4Ber]

I never really did take some photos after i lowered my ride. Anyway I wanted to show you guys some of the pics before I am getting my wheels install next week. I probably gonna drop maybe half an inch more when install the new wheels.

So did you change your fogs back to very yellow? Looks good.

[A4Ber]

So did you change your fogs back to very yellow? Looks good.

yes

[ASU Daniel]

looks great. I love the yellow fogs and grille as well.

[legbend]

What fogs did you use?

How is the difference in ride compared to stock?

[A4Ber]

my fogs are super yellow in person. I am using the hOen one.

[MANNYS4]

what kw coils? and hows the ride

[aznpxdd]

Can you give a link where you bought the fogs?

[MANNYS4]

what kw do ypu have and hows the ride?

[A4Rob]

Sick lookin car. Keep it up

[A4Ber]

what kw coils? and hows the ride

I have kw v1. It is definitely stiffer than stock but I think is not stiff enough for me. I would get the v2 instead if I can make the decision again.

[A4Ber]

Can you give a link where you bought the fogs?

Just search hoen xenonmatch on google!

[A4Ber]

Finally got my HRE, and going to pick up some tires and then insall. Anyway here are some pics:

[MANNYS4]

M41 love them ! sick looking car, keep it up.
These wheels are one of top picks still thinking about it , also like m43 and m45,

Loving the wheels!!

[italian a4 1032]

finally, they look sick
that m5 also looks sick

[adbender]

looks killer dude...those wheels bring everything into balance!

[mioStile]

beauty!

[Ryan_T]

Holy crap. Those are perfect.

[Chivas Irons]

looks great!

[Okan509]

all i said was "oooooooo" haha they look really good, thought the spokes were going to be lacking depth from blakes chop, but they don't

How do you like it?

[legbend]

What's the size, offset, etc? What size tires?

[JRMSLINEA4]

Very nice. [up]

[TapouTx914]

sick car

[Ryan_T]

It's insane how much wheels can change a car.

[mitbackwards]

wow! looks amazzzzzzzing! hope when i go back to the bay for the holidays i catch you driving in the wild

[A4Ber]

What's the size, offset, etc? What size tires?

20x9 et35 all around toyo proxy 4 all season sport tires 255/30/20

[L0U]

lowered just right now too eh. you went with 245s on a 9" rim I seem to remember. offset work well with that drop. ops, just missed your repy. I guess its the 20" rim that is making the sidewalls look 245ish. Pretty wicked that the 255s work on 35et. This is great information moving forwards for the ultimate fitment.

Those would look even better on my ibis, (must buy locknuts). The gunmetalish colour is perfect.

[Mattgfx]

wow that looks so good

[BlackB6]

Car looks amazing! Nicest S4 I've seen yet. Just curious, do you drive around with the AE Performance license plate? What's the deal with that?.. and it sucks you have to dump such a beautiful car on the side of the road when parked!

[ExhaustNote]

Very VERY nice! [up][up][up] My favorite S4 by FAR!

[MiracleWhips]

Just saw this car in person.......

Reaaaaally clean! [o_o][up]

[Anthony]

Man those look huge! I'd be sooooo worried every night parking her on the streets. [:/] You're a brave brave man.

Anyway I tried to take some good photos at my old photoshoot spot, unfortunately it turned into a construction site : (.

I just shot some photos closed by there.

[legbend]

Insane. Definitely need to start blacking out mine.

[Sharkfin]

Looks great, might want to change your garage in your profile.

[Sin_city_Rings]

Do not go down this path of sin David!

As for you Star, you may want to read up on some history on why the RINGS are silver. ;)

[fatbrembos]

seriously, the car looks awesome and is probably one of the nicest ive seen, its clean and oem but with a touch of bad ass in it, so congrats but i think if you do black rings your just pushing it way to far.
but car looks great

[MANNYS4]

Hey what coilover kit do u have and did u get it

[Mr. Corey]

Car came out great

[SinCityS4]

Very very nice perfect size and offset on those wheels.

[McBee]

i think brushed aluminum or glossy smoked ring are also nice match

[Blake P]

Hey what coilover kit do u have and did u get it

KW Variant 1

[MANNYS4]

Do they make a specific kit for the s4 or is it the same for a4? What about spring rate?

[A4Ber]

The a4 and s4 uses different suspensions. The s4 sedan weights more and uses a4 avant suspensions

[DUBSPORTN]

any write ups on how to swap the hid bulb on the b8 thats a mod I really interested, because had the same 6k hid on my gli and they looked great.

[MANNYS4]

so i shoudl get the kw a4 avant coiloverkit for the s4

[A4Ber]

so i shoudl get the kw a4 avant coiloverkit for the s4

yes u should.

[A4Ber]

any write ups on how to swap the hid bulb on the b8 thats a mod I really interested, because had the same 6k hid on my gli and they looked great.

u should check anthony post on b8 a4 forum. He did a write up on how to change the headlight to ecodes. that's where i got the instruction for changing the bulbs!

[A4Ber]

Havent been on for a while. I just took some photos today and hope you guys like it. This will be last time u see these Hre wheels in charcoal. I am sending them back to have HRE to refinish them. Enjoy~

Why are you want to refinish them? I think this is the best and you should keep them as they are.

[adbender]

Why are you want to refinish them? I think this is the best and you should keep them as they are.

I concur...car looks killer as it is.

[Okan509]

what color are they going to be? gold? haha

[L0U]

Car looks great....partly because you live in a world where there is no stupid front plate law up yer butt. Stupid freaking law here.

[Nvius]

Actually, there is a front plate law in California. But cops really don't care.

[washyourrhands]

dear god!

i NEED to see this car in person

so perfect my man

[Calabria]

Freshh. I think a set of ecodes would really make a nice difference to the face of that beast.
Update your sig, aka upcoming mods.

[A4Ber]

Black...

[A4Ber]

Car looks great....partly because you live in a world where there is no stupid front plate law up yer butt. Stupid freaking law here.

I just don't put in on. I also just left the back without one. Usuaully if they dont see one in the back, they will think it is a brand new car. I put one on the back on my old 335 and the pulled me over for not having it for the front, so I just leave the rear one out also. BTW u can always try one of this. I actually bought one but have not try installing it yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3cLALy_vh4

[L0U]

that is brilliant....I will look into getting one of those too now.

[ISFANDS4]

Your car looks amazing man! Keep up the good work!

[guy013]

does your car come with parking distance control? i thought the PDC sensors are supposed to be in the grille? did you remove them?

[[email protected]]

Wow, really great looking combination with those wheels. Nice!

[zee007]

The car looks fantastic - loving wht you've done to it. Good job my man....

[A4Ber]

Update: I just got my ecodes last week and I definitely will post some good photos later when the rain stops.

I just ordered the stasis challenge exhaust and probably will have them install next week!!

[Nvius]

Get some photos of the tips! Haven't really seen any good pictures of the tips themselves.

http://www.audizine.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7845

[storm4200]

LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! DO NOT do black rings, although i do think u should blackout the fog light trim. other then that, i have NOTHING. car looks great!! (and i LOVE the no plate in the rear! classic!)
