Must-have mods for a 2017 A7 Prestige?
 

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a metallic blue 2017 A7 Prestige with 20' w-spoke wheels and driver assistance package (upgrading my 2011 A4 Prestige). It will have just under a year of factory warranty remaining so not going to go too nuts, but want to start planning for some mods / tweaks to it so that I can better budget the true all-in cost. What are considered the must-haves for this thing? Already planning for the following:

* ECU Upgrade to APR Stage II
* RS7 Grille (although I just noticed that facelift A7s may not be able to accommodate - looking for feedback here).
* Interior LED lighting and foglight swaps (best options for this?)
* Film to protect the headlights
* Darkest allowable tint for windows (I think 27% in my geo area)
* What else??

Thank you for all feedback!!

Well the stage 2 tune is going to void your factory warranty so weigh the timing of that.

As far as the other mods, it all depends on what you want to accomplish. I am sure that everyone that might chime in will have a different idea on which way to go. Myself I am perfectly happy with my stock 2012 A7. I have made only 2 changes. K&N air filter and a set of cross drilled and slotted rotors coupled with power stop Z16 ceramic pads. The brake upgrade was out of necessity, I needed brakes and wanted ceramics and the kit was actually cheaper than buying off the shelf at Advanced Auto. Sure I'd love to have more power but I don't need because the car is my daily driver and family hauler. The 310 HP is plenty and I have already gotten in trouble with it. Cop was nice and wrote the ticket for less than I was doing which kept it as a traffic ticket and not more.

Being used I am sure you are gonna find a few things that need fixed along the way so I would suggest to just drive it for now and get to know the car and see what you do or don't like and what needs fixed.

Your cabin should already have LEDs in it. My 2016 does.

Stage II won't get you much over Stage I unless you run race gas.
