Default 1999 Melange (all options)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/11047/audi_low.jpg"></center><p>I'm thinking about painting the lowers but I can't decide.

Also, that's faux tint on there. I wanted to see what the car looked like w/ tint before I went and did it. I'm still trying to decide -- the car looks more sophisticated w/ clear windows and the rollups engaged.

I have the clear markers and corners installed and the M5 spoiler ready to be painted. After that, I'll be done w/ the exterior.

Default You have to be a little more careful.

The fact that the suspension is a little stiffer makes up for a lot of the loss in ground clearance. And a stock A8 really has a heckuva lot of ground clearance. I'm amazed at the lowering the A6 guys do, that car has much less ground clearance, stock, than our cars.
