I like the tail light mod...
how are you going to do the reverse/turn signal part? Are you going to put in orange bulbs or leave it clear?
Looking forward to your FAQ!

Mark, i thought of what you are planning and i ended up getting....
a very yellow bulb so that when the yellow light passes through the red lense it is amber/orange.
still alot more orange content than the parking reds.

Here's the text for you lazy folks....
Here's what I have in store for the future. A combination of a To-Do List and a Wish List:
License Plate Frame
Received a 'brushed aluminum Quattro' plate frame. When spring arrives, I will debadge and add this frame. At the same time, I will cut the stock black plastic behind the plate so it doesn't stick out below the frame.
Brakes
APR Brakes on order. 332x32 Rotors. 4 Pot Calipers
Upgrade rear brakes per the FAQ -or- just swap out rear rotors for x-drilled ones ???
Wheels
Due to brakes, I need diff wheels. 17s or 18s that will fit the S4 are required. Check my Wheels/Tire page for my current thoughts
Suspension
APR Springs w/ Koni shocks. To be ordered as soon as springs are ready
Exhaust
Selling my Ver1 APR Exhaust and purchasing the Ver2 APR Exhaust, as soon as it's ready.
Stereo
1.) Replace an RCA wire and possible add a ground loop isolater to reduce the small amount of "engine noise" that I have.
2.) Finish up area around headunit. Paint aluminum piece black, add small pieces of black plexi where needed.
3.) Install CD Changer. Have to modify stock CD Changer bracket to fit 12 disc changer
4.) Take off driver's door panel to see where occasional noise/rattle is coming from (speaker basket?)
5.) Rearrange Amp & Caps
Hands-Free Cell Phone Kit
I already have a kit for my Samsung 3500, I just need to install it - "that's all"
)
Turbo Timer
Purchase and install a Greddy Turbo Timer III into the cupholder location (or elsewhere, as I see fit)
Shift Light
Looking for a small shift light (possibly 2-stage)
Taillight Mod
I'm pro-amberturnsignals. Therefore, I plan to mod my rear lights to achieve this. Here's my plans for my '00 tails...
Stock Mod
Fog -> Fog
Red Turnsignal -> Brake
Reverse -> Amber Turnsignal / Reverse
Taillight / Brake -> Taillight
Lower Molding
Paint lower body molding - after seeing how Ron_C's holds up through the winter. - or purchase some S4 pieces?

Looks like a great car is going to become even better...
Sucks that the MM Evo won't clear a big brake kit, the Evo (which i also have) is my favorite rim around, and it will be sad to have to replace them.
Im curious why there isn't a big turbo kit on the list? Its obvious that finances aren't the restriction. Is it because you drive so much? Also, considering you do drive so much, how long you intend to keep your car, are you thinking about getting a commuter, etc.
If you get an A pillar boost guage, you could also get a shift light, and even an air/fuel mixture guage all around that same cluster. Might help hide the shift light, since it could sit alongside the boost gauge.
Finally, i have the brushed Aluminum "Audi Sport" license frame, please tell us/update us on cutting that back black plate, as id be interested in doing the same.
Cheers
