Simple solution. Get the Range AFM Disabler.
$190.
Your problems will go away.

I am sorry you are having A8 problems. Some do but the vast majority don't. Get it fixed and enjoy it or get it fixed and trade it in. Either way the next step is getting it fixed.

Pardon the newbie question, but how do they attach if no drilling is required?

I'm thinking about one of the RPI lighted ones.

Quick update regarding the convertible issue I had mentioned last week: I took the car in today and had my appointment with the service manager who indicated without hesitation that the top would be replaced under warranty. He took a few pictures and emailed them off to GM who will send out a technician that specializes in convertible replacement. The service manager was prompt and professional. We spent more time shooting the breeze about Corvettes than we did discussing the issue.

Looks great in yellow. The European model with headlight washers and lights on the mirrors..Looks like the standard GS splitter may be a bit smaller also...Could you please post a few more pictures of the front and rear? Thanks,,,Doug.
