Post Joe's '11 IS350 - Mods from Present to Future

Hey guys. Thought I'd start this thread because I've never really kept track of my mods especially for my Audi from start to finish (although we know modding never really ends). I thought this would be the perfect chance to start this "mod diary." I already have a list of things to do to her and will be posted here. Here goes nothin. Hope you guys like

----------------
Sep. 29, 2010

Purchased 2011 IS350 AWD. Starfire Pearl/Black Interior. Perforated centers. Loaded. 17's Dark Gray Bird's Eye. 15 miles on the dot.





--------------

Oct. 1, 2010

Removed the "Stevinson" dealer decal. I think it looks much cleaner. Thanks for the advice in the intro thread guys.

Also flipped the dealership name in the plate frame



--------------

Oct. 4, 2010

Removed the plate bracket drilled into the bumper by the dealer. Covered up the holes with matched bumper plugs



--------------

Oct. 6, 2010

Dropped the car off at friend's tint shop for the day. 30% all around. 12" Clear-Bra on hood, fenders, headlights, mirrors. Will have pics up tomorrow for my next post. Total was $300. Not bad considering dealership wanted $800 for just clear-bra.

if they're from aerotect, then the bumper plugs are still visible. but you have to look hard. at night you wont notice them. aerotect plugs are definitely worth it

definitely agree with shiny. They're still noticeable but only if you're looking for them. they blend quite nicely.

in class right now guys. cant wait to take pics of the car a little later on to post!
