Which box?????

1) 06 Salsa Red Pearl--Sonar black housing dual halo headlights
2) 06 RS4 "Torched Penny"--Transferred all the mods from first box before
I had it 2 weeks/500 miles, probably the Jic Magic Bullet cat back was first

First thing i did was take the front plate off...and it already had the xB logo gone and the 18" TRDs. Oh and I put a GReddy plate frame on the back. Those were both at like 10 PM the night we brought it home. Since then I have done a lot of little cheap things.

Like just today, I took and old belt buckel and mooded it to fit as my new grille logo. I will have to post pick sometime.

1st mod on any new car I buy is removing the dealer license plate frames.

1st addition to the car was my Proclip phone cradle. Then came the tint. Next week the real fun begins! Almost $8k worth of stuff is getting installed.

First mod Premier head unit, Alpine sub, and billet grills!

kev1NZFE · 07-12-2008, 10:33 AM

My first mod was dealer installed (18" TRD Wheels). The first modding I did was a small set: billet grille, TRD shift knob, TRD Japan strut bar, and smoked tail lights.

First mod color matched plugs for the front bumper license plate holes. Then rims.

KevinA · 07-12-2008, 03:40 PM

At 300 miles I put 17" wheels, tires (of course), Injen short ram intake, fogs, cup holder LEDs, under dash and seat lighting.

1st mod was Racing Hart C5's then Carbon Fiber Hood then Tint.

Shift knob!
-I don't like the feel of the stock one. I am in the habit of using the top of the knob and the stock one "digs" into my palm.

Eventually, I plan to get a nicer one, but here is my $15 one:

I like the round "ball" look. I am now thinking of getting another and repainting it a "custom" (non-8-Ball) colour.
I took an insert somewhat smaller than the shaft and tapped it to make a threaded insert. Now, it screws on and off. I also switched out the crappy hexes (which only go into the insert plastic) for nicer silver ones that are less obvious. I probably should just glue it in with E6000. If I make another from an 8-Ball knob, that is what I will do.
