Hey Guys, new owner with some Qs and pics

hey guys, my name is John Tran im from San Jose Cali, formerly Socal.
im 24, mechanical engineer. this is my first rear wheel drive car. i purchased the car thinking it would save me some gas but i thought wrong, but in any case its a fun car and has some heat. my other cars are a 1999 audi a4 quattro turbo, my modded show car or was.. a 2007 audi a4 and this grey RX-8. i dont know much about rotory yet but im sure ill be picking it up here. you guys are pretty well versed. so im waiting for the day i can brag that rotory is better then pistons. first off is, what the heck body kit is on my car? and what do you guys use to play you ipods? and is there a possible solution for an indash dvd screen?

and dont mind the yellow wipers those gotta go. i bought the car from a rich korean kid. when i say rich i mean RICH!

anyways heres pics of my hobbies and new car.

Yellow wipers on a silver car ? those *rich* kids have no taste at all, maybe they've been spoiled so much that mommy and daddy never taught them what is a "good" taste

Anyway, Congrats on ur new ride. Its not that great on gas but, fun is priceless

tisk tisk, failure of an ME... how could u not research before u buy the car? perhaps u also are a rich kid? o.O... anyway, tat front kit looks bad.. get rid of it, (it's scratched anyway) the wiper, get it off, get some clear corners, goes well with the color. finally, get the car unto an autocross or track and have some real fun driving it.

Welcome and congrats. Nice A4's. I don't think I've ever seen that kit before.
