Yeah, called dealer for a price on wheel locks and front bumper panel...
Wheel locks were either $65 or $115. Got the same set from Clair for $40. Front bumper panel was $68 from dealer, got it for $45 through Clair. Next day shipping from Clair for the front bumper panel was $27 though! Body shop needed it though because they were painting my other parts.

I have had my warranty void by a dealer on Long Island . . .
they gave me a laundry list of reasons:
1. Aftermarket Stereo
2. Lowered Car
3. Aftermarket front brakes
4. Aftermarket rear brake pads
5. Aftermarket brake fluid
6. They said I MUST have a chip, so that voids it as well! I had my stock chip in the car! lol
I got into a huge fight with the ******* Service Manager at Anchor Audi in Rockville Center, NY on Long Island.

This pamphlet is such a load of kr@p it is not even funny!
Geez, which do you think are more safe, Eibach Springs or "Audi sold" Eibach Springs? I'll bet Audi would state the Eibach Springs that they were involved with from the inception of the design! Bull****! Same freakin' spring!
Hmm, Panasonic or Blaupunkt build the Audi OEM radios, what makes them any better or worse at building a radio over say, Sony, Kenwood or even a real Blaupunkt? Why would a speaker built by Bose be better than an MD Quartz, Boston Acoustic or some other high end speaker? It wouldn't!
I happen to agree with them on one point though. Don't change your stock tires, they were chosen for their wionderful handling characteristics and their explosion worthiness, something you just can't find in the aftermarket!
Also don't change your chip, it might IMPROVE your mileage, make the car drive BETTER and give you BETTER performance. Nobody would want that from their cars.
Geez, Audi get a freaking clue!
