for $110, you can get a color matched PAINTED spoiler.

Mind you, I have a RS5 with a rare gold color, and the paint on the spoiler matched the car.

Its 3 coats of paint, 2 coats of clear on the spoiler.

It's a low tech, mildly simple, cold air intake...

for the handy D.I.Y.er-- I color matched the interior "Silver" dash pieces... the paint cost under $40 shipped. Plus a can of clear coat from Schucks $6. NOTE: Almost not enough paint....

not alot you can do to the exterior for under 100 except for spray tinting your headlights and tail lights... other than that i would go to your local fabric depot and buy 5 yards of your favorite suede or velvet fabric and go to town on your interior. for under 100 bucks you can wrap ALOT of parts in the interior like youre headliner, door pannels, A pillars and B pillars, shifter console, center console, rocker kick pannels, etc. all you need is a couple cans of super 77 spray adhesive and alot of hot glue.
