Unreal. I love the A8, and the long wheel base just gives the car so much presence.

Great stuff.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

You know, I don't care much for HR3s, but I have to admit, they look right at home on there. Beautiful machine.

Chrome mirror covers might be a nice touch with all the shiny stuff you have going on.

The final Piece of the build so far besides just fixing issues here are there, was rims. I had a tight budget for the build that I had saved from airbag setup, and started researching my options. The stock rims were 19X9 +45 on a 255/45/19. I wanted to go with a 20 inch rim but It took a long time to decide how wide I wanted to go and if I wanted to mess with the fender/ fenderliner or not. The A8 has carpet all along the inside of the rear wheel wells to keep ground noise to a minimum, and has a bolt perturbing toward the wheel welded to the top of the wheel well to keep the liner secured. I really didner want to mess with that if I could and it ended up being a deal breaker. After I was looking online, I decided to go with a set of MRR HR3 in 20X9.5 with a +38 off set in chrome. I got a great deal thru CaliStreetTires for a set of rims and tires. I went with a lop profile tire 245/30/20 and it fit perfectly. Once I had them Mounted I aired out and had no issues at all, I was so happy I didn't have to do any fender work to completely air out. I love the setup and have had no issues with any of the work. Hope you guys all enjoy the build.

After this I was very satisfied with the way the car was changing, and I knew that the last major thing it was missing was rims. Additionally I was as wanting to do minor things to the interior,and didn't have the leather which my cars interior was. I decided I wanted to put a little subtle touch to the long wheel base rear seats, and get a pair of throw pillows. My sister knew a local upholstery place called the Pink house which gave me a great price on my setup. She was able to help me find a similar fabric which was close in shade and the result left me very happy. I decide to get a junction produce knot as well at the black friday sale online,

The car was starting to come together well, I loved the car but of course I still had a few plans and as I was searching around the internet I had an email pop up for AutoAnthing.com and a sale on Audi A8 Parts. I decided to take a look and found a nice Magnaflow catback exhaust with a 4 inch dual exhaust tips. I got such a good deal after talking directly to a service people that I couldn't refuse getting 1 along with a K/N drop in filter. I wanted to get a little more performance out of that massive 4.2 V8 but I didn't want to have an obnoxious drone, it just didn't fit the car. After looking at reviews from buyers I decided to go with it and wanted to see about a performance tune. My Subaru had a Stage 2 Cobb tune, with a 3 inch catless bell mouth exhaust with a resonator, so It sparked my curiosity if there were any options out there for an A8. From looking at the forums I decided to go with a company called Unitronic for the tune, which increased horsepower, torque, and took the U.S. speed limiter of 130 Mph. The result was a more responsive in the low end, subtle aggressive sound, 4 inch exhaust tips with a great design and a fun ride for me.
