What did you do to your B9 A5/S5 today?

[thadoggfatha]

Added a CF lip spoiler, courtesy of German Car Accessories. Shipped to my doorstep in two days!

Does the carbon match the OEM carbon optiks package carbon on the car. The current spoiler is too small for my liking and this looks awesome. What are the major brands when it comes to the lip spoilers.

Not sure on durability. Purchased from a guy who sells them on Etsy, his instagram name is restless.decals

When I applied it, it felt like like vinyl wrap when i heated it up. Feel like it shoulda looked like that from the factory

Here’s more close up shots in my video:

Nice detailed video of the install, looks quite easy to apply the sticker to the seat.

[chrisdazzo]

No idea. I don’t think the carbon optic package was offered on the 2018 models. That said, if you don’t get this exact deck lid spoiler from German Car Accessories, I think ECS Tuning, EuroPrice, and MCarCar Kit (eBay) have similar items.

How does the CLM dp sound from the inside? It is loud?

Difficult to say since I switched out the turbo as well. It's a higher pitch sucking in noise but I also had a noisy ECS intake.

Hi guys! A5 F5 owner here. Did anyone try to install the A5 Facelift grill to the non-facelift F5 model, does it go without any mods? The new S-line grill looks like a great alternative to the RS one. Cheers.

won't fit. New grills is wider and flatter. If anything, I'd guess the hood and front bumper would need to be changed out to accommodate the new shape.

Thank you, Amigo!! 94 GSR DB8, JDM front and lots of toys... Moves my soul :-)

Nice setup! What sizes are you running, stock suspension?

20x10 ET25 with 5mm spacer up front, 3mm in back.. 275/30/20 Pirelli P-Zeros.. It's a *lot* of "poke" as the kids say.. Would be a better RS5 fitment me thinks.. Stock S5 suspension..
I'll likely sell them or trade them for OEM S5 rotors in the near'ish future.

[jasejase]

Rs5 style grille was installed this week. And the oem resonator kit was installed by my dealer today. Good week for the s5!

Testing out fitment of a new filter.

Installed the carbon fiber spoiler yesterday. Just got done detailing the car about an hour ago. Been looking for a good spoiler for a while, glad I saw @chrisdazzo post as I had bookmarked that spoiler for quite some time. Also, if you get the same spoiler, I don't recommend using their tape they included. I bought some 3M tape for it.

It's nice. More pop and grumble. Especially at lower rpm where you can catch it under load before it Down shifts. But it's noticeable. Hard to hear much of anything in that car with the damn sound insulation. It's the best alternative in the oem world. A total delete would also be a possibility.

In summary, I'm glad I did it. The car should have come like this. Whether it's worth $700 is a personal call. One that I can argue both ways.

Super nice! I used the tape they included and haven't had any issues so far - did you?

No, just felt like it wouldn't stick. When I applied it to the spoiler, it seemed to lift off easily. So to be safe, I used 3M.

This was only my 3rd attempt using my new dragy. I know I can get a quicker run since this was on all seasons, so I got slight wheel spin off the line. Only performance mod so far is the APR Plus 91 tune.

The extra ambient lights look good! I bought the same ones off Aliexpress. Is there an install guide?

Saw the video but not 100% sure how the connection to the footwell lights works. Do the aftermarket lights come with a splitter that taps into the footwell lights? Any wire cutting needed or is it plug and play?

all plug and play. the kit comes with a cable that the footwell light cable plugs into, which you then use to plug into everything else.

The RS5 didn't come split between premium+ or prestige, but I believe the dash pieces kit only works with the RGB ambient light system already in the prestige A5/S5 models.

Couple more for those curious.

[pwdrskr]

Technically, not done today...order a set of Michelin All Season 4 285/30/20 tires for our RS5 coupe. Tires will go onto Vorsteiner V-FF 104 Carbon Graphite wheels I just pulled off our B8.5 allroad. Wheels are getting touched up today. Then I'll ceramic coat them. Tire mounting and install next week. Pictures to follow.

The V-FF 104 is one of my favorite designs...and of course, no longer available.

Haven't decided what to do with the V-FF 103s / Michelin A/S 3+ 275/30/20s currently on the RS5. Wheels and tires are in fantastic shape...

Were those headlights taken apart and blacked out? Or just a smoke tint on top?

Yes oneighty nyc specializes in headlights. They take them apart, paint with a black matte finish, then reassemble. I’ve had them for 2 years and they are perfect!

That’s a great lead... I’m in N.NJ and will get in contact with Oneighty. How much did they charge you originally?
