Default Picked up my Sprint Blue/Silver/CF/Premium on Friday!

I was surprised how much the color combo really turned out sharp and not bling-bling. It is really classy. It looks much better in real life than in photos. I brought it to SF on Firday night and came away without any scratches then the World Challenge race on Saturday and got her nice and dirty in the dirt lot... but it still looked good. Sold my S4 to my brother... fun to keep it in the family.

Niello Audi in Sac took care of me real well as usual. The new GM is a very solid guy that will do good things for that place. (Nice new building too!)

My only complaint is that the car rides high in the nose (the spacers are all out) and the wheels them selves and wheel wells have a bunch of room for a much wider tire. I can fix both of those things for a few bucks.

As for near-term mods, some clearbra then... anyone know a way to get a DVD movie to play in the Nav system for the young-uns to watch The Incredibles, Toy Story, and Cars? (My two year old loves his new 'Audi Race car' but was confused that the big screen on the dash couldn't play his vid.

Default though I'm not a big fan of sprint blue, that makes for a great combo with silver interior!

Good choice. Congrats!

Default No offense to RS4 owners of other colors (I'm jealous of all of you) but imo that is THE

color to get. Absolutely stunning. Congratulations.

Default Thanks! I look forward to hearing what you come up with!

And on the interior + kids issue, I like the kids more than the car, so I'm pretty relaxed with it... and leather cleans up real easily! The only problem is that my 2 year old son eggs me on do quick starts in any car when he is on board. He's a bad influenece on me. Luckily he is more into snappy starts then high speed runs or heavy G's on corners.

Default I've got DVD capability in my car

Nice car, I love that color combo. Saw the same color combo on an S4 and it was amazing!
You have two choices for what to get to do it. You can get this version http://www.navparts.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=32&amp;products_id=169 or you can go here and pick up the Dietz 1417 (Video) and the Dietz 1280 (Video in motion) http://euro-parts.us/home.php?cat=254.
