The paint looks good, and I actually like the color. I've seen S4s that I like with the rub strips black, and yours look good painted too. Looks like it has a reasonably low mileage ~90k miles. How does it run?
I do agree that for my tastes it looks a little bland. I like the stock spoiler (or the low profile S4 sport spoiler) and dislike the heavy stock TII wheels. If the car runs right and it was mine, I'd invest in some light weight wheels and good tires. Then make sure the brakes are up to snuff before messing with other performance related changes.

I was trying to find a stock spoiler before it went into the shop, but I did not have much luck. I am going to get one in the near future and I think it will greatly improve the styling. The motor was rebuilt at 87k so it still a fresh motor. I have block off plates for emissions removal, a blitz ss bov, dual alt pulley, a RB 80mm DP, and all of the gaskets to pull the turbo and exhaust manifold. All I have done to the car so far is hook up a RB FCD.
Unfortunately I do not have a place to work on it at and time has been pretty tight lately I wsih I knew some more people in the area that enjoyed working on cars as much as I do. It will eventually get done though.
I am going to replace all of the suspension bushings and get some eibach springs adn tokiko illuminas before I worry about rims.
Thanks for the props!

Sounds like you have a plan and a very nice car to work with. You might want to check out this site as you modify the exhaust. Waste gate porting and some mild fuel management may be in your future:

I wish I knew where all you people found these nice low mileage TIIs. So far I've only come across one deal on an 88 TII with 43k miles that was partially converted to S5 looks. Some kid bought it off of the original owner, messed it up, and then still wanted $4k for it (not running).
You will like those tokicos. I have them, and they are great for normal road and light track use. I mentioned wheels more for weight reduction and brake cooling than style. You have to trust your own judgement on the style part.

Oh, I forgot to finish my thought in my previous post. I have all of the gaskets needed to pull the turbo and the exhaust manifold to port my wastegate and to also port the turbo intake runners on the manifold. All of this will be done prior to the new exhaust being run.
