I originally had paint matched ones on my 337. To me they just add even more body lines are are a cop out to doing it the right (and expensive way) and shaving them. I have the stock ambers in right now. Once I don't live in a college town anymore I'll shave them and have the front bumper resprayed and go with amber fender markers.

Headlights weren't my first choice, I'm back to stock ones currently waiting for replacements. As far as the side markers, I have the smoked ones in, I had the euro switch set to city lights so they just look yellow

Here's a shot with out city lights on

mkIV Bora · (#13)

what kind of headlights are you going to replace them with?

Rovert · (#14)

Sure is a 2.5, as far as under the hood, not sure I lack any know how for that aspect but we'll see. I had a 06 GTI but when I got married switched to the Jetta. I started the mods last week to try and keep my self from buying a new car (trying to stay fiscally responsible). any suggestions other than intake? As an homage to my GTI i still have the fast they sent me when I bought it. It has a home right on the dash board

two words.

I would say a nice spring/strut combo. Exhaust sound great on the 2.5, esp. if you ahve an intake. They are suppose to respond well the a chip as well, only thing is yopu need to run higher octane and these don't get the best gas milage.

to keep it simple id say a nice exhaust and intake should keep you happy for a while.. i test drove a rabbit and almost picked it up but couldnt resist the gti.

I have racelands. I love them. you should color match your side markers.

These 5cyl's sound sooo good. The AWE system sounds better
than some of the others out there.
