Quick update.
Purchased some yellow fog light covers, and smoked tail light tint from Lamin-X. Will be applying them as soon as I receive them.
What it will look like
Also purchased a new RS type grille, and will be swapping that out once I receive it.
What the new front end will look like.
Plan on tinting the car within the next month, and headlights will be mid July depending on finances.

Got the fog light tint, and tail light tint installed. Only got pictures of them at the night, will get some day pictures later.
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.
Grille order was delayed, so it wont be here until Wednesday. Will be installing it next weekend, and up be doing a full detail, along with more paint correction.

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.

Forest wrote Smoked tint, Lamin x is the makerYeah 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.
