Thanks swiseuf! On my way to go get my truck now!
Thanks Curtis! Good question but every pic I have seen of the 2.5 RR system has the remote sitting there.
Thanks PawPaw. I am going to go pick up my truck now. I just hope I can get it back in time before it gets too dark so that I can post some pics before I leave on my trip.

Nope, that is a B5 series (2000-2002) S4 like what I have in my sig. It has the 2.7L 30V BiTurbo V6 in it. The S5 has a 3.0L Supercharged V6. One of the first cars my friend worked on when he opened his shop was a new S5. He put a full (manifold to tip) exhaust on it. That car sounded really good too.
Dawg, your truck looks really good!

Okay, here is everything that Desert Rat got done for me today:
1. Fox 2.5 Remote Reservoir Coil Overs installed (front)
2. Custom brackets fabricated/installed to tie back remote reservoir tubing to prevent rubbing on tires
3. Icon UCAs installed
4. Rear 1.75 inch replacement block installed
5. ADD Venom Bumper installed
6. (2) pairs of Rigid LED lights installed and wired to my factory (fog) light switch
7. Custom bracket fabricated and installed to mount the hood release mechanism
8. 1.5-inch Fred Goeske Alcoa Billet Aluminum Wheel Adapters installed
9. Full Race 3-inch Cat Back Exhaust System installed
10. Front wheel alignment
11. I reinstalled my PIAA 520 ATP Super White Light Set onto the Venom Bumper
The only thing I didn't get done were the new tires as the Mickey Thompson MTZs were just a tad too big without cutting sheetmetal and I was not going to do that. After looking at my truck, I decided I could live with the Duratracs for a bit until I decide on something else. I am still waiting on the Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks which are currently on backorder.

I spoke just 4 minutes too soon!
I see zero need for different tires though, looks awesome as is. Little does the average person know that you've got some seriously badass stuff going on behind the scenes. It's so clean, so subtly aggressive, so Desert Dawg!
The bumper is bold, but the rest is relatively subtle. If I saw your truck in town, I'd go to check it out, and then find all the other goodies you've got hidden up in that thing. The stance and height are great. It's perfect.
It's com[arable to Deerejeff's truck in a sense that it's got a lot going on, but it's not shouty and is very tasteful. There's enough going on with the exterior to arouse the attention of the trained eye, but its so clean. I need more synonyms for "clean" and "tasteful" lol. I think the stock wheels look great and further contribute to its "sleeper" image.

Thanks swiseuf!
Appreciate the comment!

Thanks Westpoint; I was worried most about the bumper but very pleased with the quality and looks! And the wheels turned exactly as I hoped too.

Thanks KMAC....you've been enouraging throughout the build! That is quite the compliment to compare mine to DeereGeff as he has an awesome truck. But that is exactly what I was trying to accomplish; something with style without going over the top, but very functional too in the way I use it. So I was hoping to pull it off, and the factory wheels definitely helped with that for sure. I think they look great with the extra offset to get the stance I wanted.
Thanks again for all the support and great comments!
