Modification parts
HI everyone, I just picked up a 2012 A7 White Prestige 20'' sport package about 3 weeks ago. This is my first Audi and now I feel the itch to modify the car. Since the car is so new I couldn't find any info on aftermarket parts. Anybody have any info on websites or vendors that sell aftermarket parts for this wonderful car. Thanks

It is a little too early. The model is fairly new and the aftermarket manufacturers are just getting the designs ready.
The other issue is that the A7 isn't going to be a very large volume model, so many items that would normally be available for a lower price, large volume model will just not be feasable to bring to market.

Why not? People mod Ferrari's, Porsches, Lambos, Benzes, M5's, R8's etc. So your logic might be a little off.
By the way, I have the STaSIS exhaust on my A7.

Several European companies have already introduced some parts for the A7 such as lowering springs, bodykits, exhaust systems, and currently STaSIS is working on the ECU tuning.

I agree, it is not uncommon to modify luxury or sport cars. People modify their car to their own taste as long you do it right. I would love to lower the car a little bit and boost it a little higher to squeeze a little more out of the engine. Did you see any noticeable gain with the exhaust? Have you had the chance to dyno your car before and after?

Thanks for the info. I will definitely get the ECU upgrade as it doesn't void the factory warranty. A jump from 310hp to 370hp is not much but I think is acceptable. I'm not quiet sure about the exhaust I was hoping for a different exhaust tip design. Do you know how much the ECU upgrade runs for?
