Lol… good call. I actually like the rings, though. It’s debadged otherwise in the back end except for the rings, and I may remove the grille badges other than the rings. But the grille has ring mounts that would look like ass if the rings were removed. I may do them same color as grille, though. But all in all, removing rings is like removing the H or A off an Acura or Honda or tri-spoke whatever it’s called off a Benz. It just isn’t done. ---

looks great! keeping the splitter a diff. color is a MUST IMHO, I don’t mind the rings, I actually prefer them, I am keeping my VW logo on the front and most usually remove it completely…I like OEM emblems, now badges are a diff. story, I have none of those do you have a small rear spoiler as well, if not I got a lead on a really cheap/good one that I am going to install on my car…it’s a tiny one like 1 inch tall and the length of the deck lid ---

Thanks on the trunk spoiler; got one on already. Congrats again on the dyno, too. That car is a MoFo. Hopin’ to get there sooner or later. ---

Let me know how you like the engine mounts-- I need some for my B5 Avant and the 034 stuff is a lot cheaper than the RS4 mounts. Just scanning back over this combined thread and didn’t see this until now. I haven’t driven too much with all the body work I’m doing, but I have the 034 street density motor mounts and the track density tranny mount. I can say it gets rid of a ton of slop. Vibration doesn’t seem to be any greater, but it might on a stock engine/exhaust. I didn’t want to go S4 or RS4 on the mounts, because even they have been breaking down a lot. I guess the OE mounts are fluid-filled, and they don’t like hot bigger turbos on the hot side of the block. So, with the 034’s being solid, most of the big turbo guys are going with them, as the Stasis ones are way overpriced. Great deal, if you ask me. We’ll see how they hold up. ---

Sounds good-- I think I’ll give the 034 mounts a shot when I get around to changing them. Your car looks good-- keep the rings and the splitter a contrasting color. ---

Looks awesome, but I think you should paint the intercooler black. Adds to the sleeper look and would clean up the front a bit. ---

Back end is on. Front end maybe tonight if the rain holds off. If not, then this weekend. Cliff’s notes… here is before (note the seam across the middle, and upper portion sticks out higher than lower by 2mm): ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607sport2.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607sport2.jpg) ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607Coiloverpics_044_1077_x_808_-med.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607Coiloverpics_044_1077_x_808_-med.jpg) and after (shaved clean): ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img060.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img060.jpg) ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img063.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img063.jpg) ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img064.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607img064.jpg) ---
