I'm on my second B5, this one being a '99.5. My first one was a '98 1.8t, with pretty much every mod available for it at the time put onto that bad boy. It was featured in two magazines, shown at the LA Auto Show and SEMA, and won a gangload of trophies at various car shows. Some of the mods included: Neuspeed turbo upgrade, full interior, HID kid, 3 different sets of rims, Blitz BOV, Oettinger kit (complete), Brembo brake upgrade, Alpine HU, Kicker subs, monitors in headrests, and a few other upgrades that I don't remember at the time. Here's some before and after pics of it:

I sold that to some kid out in Upland (909'ers buy anything!), and bought an E-Class, but couldn't stand the fact that I didn't have a B5 anymore, so went and leased a 99.5 White 1.8T 5 Speed. Currently it's stock, with the exception of a Votex kit, 19" Collectizone wheels, and a Pyle headunit. Besides some minor interior and exterior mods, I think it'll probably stay that way too.

Yeah, the black one was nice, I don't know what pocessed me to sell it (probably because it was Tip, which now, I greatly miss with all of LA's traffic).

I've had the white one for about 6 months now, but haven't really touched it, with the exception of the body kit, suspension, and wheels (which just sold, so I'm back on stocks).

But, plans are for a badgeless grill, Caractere rear valence, leather interior, and a set of Brabus Monoblock 6 wheels. I picked up a Pyle headunit (the name says it all) and slid in a Bazooka tube into the trunk, but I think it's all going to be taken out in favor of a stock H/U with an in-dash CD player. OEM interior is nice http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmile.gif I'm still thinking about that $20 NOPI wood interior deal too. Most likely I'll stick that same Zender rear spoiler on that I had on the black B5, except this time, shave it so it's badgeless.

Who knows. Depends how much time I come across. Thanks to Club B5, the possibilities are endless! (I just wish my wallet was, damn, CB5 has wayyyy too many temptations on it!)
