Looks like they are about $30 cheaper than TR for the set.

The pic is a little old now (a month) but figured I'd get it in here... Missing the lil bugger! This was her getting dropped off for winter storage. This place was actually pretty cool - heated of course, they house approx 400 specialty vehicles ranging from Ferrari to Ford GTO's to custom builds. The S is in good company.
5 more long months to go!



Here's my winter sled though...

Yea. I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I like my Tundra, but I'm already growing weary of driving around on ice and snow in four wheel drive all the time.

Wow! Love your garage and car! How do you like the steering wheel? I have been looking at one like that.

I hear you. In MN we've had a lot of ice and snow already this year. The S4 is awesome in the bad weather, especially with snow tires, so I'm a bit spoiled

Thanks!!

I actually really liked the OEM steering wheel (size/shape/look) but it was badly worn and really degraded the look of the interior which is why I swapped. I looked at doing another leather wrap but none of them looked "OEM" enough for me (you could tell they were wraps) so I started looking at other options. Most of the aftermarket wheels were "too much bling" for me - I'm going for a very OEM+ look with this car. Ended up obviously with the swede one because it's still OEM (the core, so shape etc is the same) - in the pic it looks much lighter in color than it is, it's darker in person. It's thicker than the OEM wheel which I like as well. Feels great in the hand. Cleaning swede is a bit more involved but by no means terrible (you just need the right products). They also had a flatbottom variety which I almost went for but decided to try and keep it as OEM looking as possible. I'm very happy with it. It reminds me of the Porsche GT wheels - which is what they designed it after.

I got it from Euroboutique - https://www.instagram.com/euroboutique/

Welcome to the club. I too come from a 2013 S4. I was seriously considering a 2015 Cayman GTS and had a deposit down and had an allocation and everything. In the end I decided to go with the S. I figured I would always have the chance to get a Porsche. The S is a special car. Honda will never be the this way again. Enjoy it will you still can. BTW nice car.

Got her out of storage yesterday! Installed my LED signals & switch, spacers, new floor mats etc. Went with just 15mm spacers all round and I think it will look just right with the 1 inch drop I'm planning for next week. Today installing the Milltek exhaust and sways. Next week tires, brakes & Eibach springs... she's ready for summer fun!!

Here are some pics of the pick-up and then home with spacers...

ooo I also ordered the Downforce side diffusers... those just look proper. That's all I am doing for aftermarket cosmetic mods.

That's an awesome storage facility!

Have you though about adding the rear lip spoiler? I love mine Please share photos of the side diffusers when they arrive; I'm considering them in the future
