It's started with a small fender bender at a Winter Drving School.

That was the opportunity to replace the front fender with the RS4 one. I had seen the Rieger, and I didn't care for it's quality (and those rusty screws holding in the mesh).

I got the front fender, and w/o direction, my paint guy painted my front RS4 bumper, not knowing that he needed to heat/mold the bumper, then paint on the car.

So, I scrambled and got the RS4 front fenders. Now I run 255/40/17s w/o rolling the fenders. I'll run 255/30/18s on the street in the spring.

It's a financial thing - I've put money in where I can....

Right now I am putting into StageV AMS and suspension. Stoptechs, and race tires/rims in the spring....and the rest of the conversion when I've recovered from that.

It's a money pit....I wish I had $20,000 all at once to do it all together.

thanks for your critque.
It's much appreciated. =P

That was over a year ago....I followed up with him ~6-9 months ago, and still there was no progress. I don't know where he is at with the Garretts. Can you imagine waiting for the programming for that? And you guys are losing patience for K04 programming, and all the tuners have been working on that for ~1-2 years.
