Default A4 Avant 1.8t upgrade possibilities?

Hey guys, I just inherited an A4 Avant 1.8t 84K miles... What type of upgrades should I get...

I was thinking I'd like better tint, what would be the cost?

I was also thinking there could be some way of getting more fuel efficiency?

Is it even worth upgrading things with the milage?

*EDIT* Guess I Should add that the car has a sports suspension on it (I Believe) and 17'performance wheels that somehow aren't put on audi's anymore...

Default Tons to do.....

A good tint job is somewhere near $250....I only use 3M color stable tint....the best.

If it were my car I would chip it ASAP...TONS more fun. Do some searched on Audiworld....lots and lots of info out there.

How do you chip a car...obviously this isn't something you can do at the audi service center...

Also, how much tint is 3M?

Im not sure what you mean by "how much tint is 3M". 3M is a brand and in my opinion...thay make the best tint.

Default Year is 2001...

Would chipping affect gas milage and efficiency? It's expensive to begin with putting in 89 and 90 grade gasoline...
