OK, So the ECS Tuning kit is $170, which ain't too shabby.
 I need to redo all four, so that kit makes sense. Now, for the question - 
has anyone written up *how* to do this without breaking stuff? I want to do 
this right, so that it'll be a fix to be proud of, to show off to my wife 
and say, "see, I can fix stuff!"
 Hints, tips, and suggestions welcomed. :)
 While not to re-energize a flame-fest, I thought some about my S6 vs. Lexus 
and Acura cars of that same era. ISTR that the Lexus cars were M-B 
knock-offs in style, and had Buick-like ride quality. The Acuras of that age 
were barely more than tarted-up Hondas. And I don't think any of them could 
perform nearly as well as the S6. Of course, they didn't cost as much, 
either. And I don't think there's going to be an "Acura-fest" or a 
"Lexus-fest" any time in the near future! Just like you don't buy a Ferrari 
for it's ease of maintenance and reliability, you don't buy an S-Car for 
it's mere transportation ability. Heck, if that's all I wanted, I could buy 
an A1 Scirocco, drop in a 1.8T mill, full 16V leather interior, and still 
have a ton of money left over for replacement bits.
 While it would be fun, it wouldn't be an S-car. :)
 Now, about that door trim BTDT...
