Thanks, this project has been a long somewhat thought out vision.


That blue you see is from the Osir shift ****. You can swap the LED out for red or blue. I'm using blue to provide a little contrast.

I was looking into replacing the ambient lighting with an RGB system, would be much cooler than just always having red.

Time to archive the past couple weeks work..


Now that I'm back from the Czech Republic and have started my 5th and final year at SFSU, I'm broke. The only things I can afford to do to my car right now are maintenance and super cheap mods.


I've been wanting a new look for the exterior and after doing a lot of research decided to try plasti dipping my wheels. I was initially going to go with matte white but decided to go with matte black. I had seen this look done on other A4s my color and never really liked it. However since it is so cheap and easily reversible I said why not.

I also went ahead and sprayed the coolant cap, PS fluid cap, washer fluid cap, and oil dip stick to clean out the extra colors.

In this burst of painting it seemed like a good time to paint the calipers red, especially now that the wheels are black.

Leaving me with this as the final result.

Since the wheels are matte black...why not the mirrors?
