    What is OEM+?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm just guessing it means only going with Audi specific accessories? What is the list? I'm looking at basic things to do with the car next year, only got a trunk lip so far. Looking for a good place to shop(got the lip on ebay), want to get a rough idea of the prices I'm going to be looking at.

    And I have no idea what to do about my unpainted lowers.

    Does not necessarily have to be genuine parts, but OEM+ is often characterized as subtle, tasteful mods...that enhance the OEM look of the car.

    Re: What is OEM+?

    Essentially mods that are subtle enough to get people thinking if the car came stock like this or if it's modded.

    Usually with S4, RS4 or USP parts or subtle aftermarket parts...

    OEM+ doesn't mean just using OEM parts, at least that's not my interpretation of it. It means that your car still looks relatively OEM with just a couple (classy) touches added to it.

    As for those unpainted lowers, you could always, umm... paint them.

    You can get quarts of audi paint for around 70-120$ depending on where you look. I've also heard that the dealer sells 6oz cans of audi spray paint for around 15$. Not sure how many cans you'd need to do the lowers, i would assume 3-5 depending how many coats you put on.

    Its either that or you're lookin at 300-700 depending on the shops and quality.

    Old vortex article explaining OEM plus.
    It is truly my favorite kind of tuning/mods.
