Nick Cosentino was ready to upgrade from his old stock BMW 135 and start modifying something new, but he wasn't exactly sure which direction to take. When he stumbled upon the 2012 Audi TT RS, the price was right, and he pulled the trigger. His vision for the car is to make it into something a little bit over the top and flashy, and he's well on his way to that goal.
