Also ordered some dr color chip, and fixed up some of the chips on my hood and sides. If you have any type of chips on your car, and you want to touch them up I highly recommend this product. I will be touching up a few more spots later this month, was way to hot to continue.

Got the grille early Saturday morning, installed it later in the day after going to an Audi Meetup. Will post pictures and videos of the event shortly.

As for the grille, here it is installed.

Hmm, I wonder what is in the box.

Posted my car on the MN car group, and someone messaged me saying they just sold their A3 and they have some miscellaneous parts. Ended up getting a set of koni coil overs, and a new engine mount. Wont get these installed for a bit, still will need to get a coilover install kit from ECS before I have the shop install them.

Fronts are locked at the current track height, but it will still be an inch or so drop in ride height. Can get them rebuilt in the future. All in all, only spent $195 for the coilovers and engine mount. The coil overs alone retail for $1200+ so I got a pretty good deal.

Quick question on the tail light tint, is that the Gunsmoke film or the Smoked? I was thinking about getting it for my car but I think the smoked is a little too dark.

Smoked tint, Lamin x is the maker

Can get a better picture tomorrow showing the tint during the day time.

Yeah if you could that'd be great! Does it look good in person? I didn't want to get all black but the Smoked on the website makes it look really dark

I think it looks great, the website online makes it appear a lot darker than normal. Once I get to work tomorrow I'll snap a picture, and upload it here. Lighting in the underground parking lot isn't the best, rather have sunlight to show you how it looks.

Little sunny, but you can see the tint. It's not the darkest, but it's still pretty dark.

Just got the car tinted. Did 50% front, and 35% rear. Would have gone darker all around, but MN has terrible tint laws and I didn't want a sudden change between the two. May go darker in the future if the laws ever change here.
