IMO 19 is not the correct size... I prefer to see wide 18's than thin 19's, but this is just my opinion

but you have a really nice car

Drew is the man! Can't wait to see how it turns out

That's actually one of the wheels I've been looking at. If I go with another set of 19" wheels, it will be something with a lip. These with no lip seem to look way bigger than they are. Most likely I will end up going with an 18" wheel.

As for color, I've considered color matching white. However, today me and a friend were kicking around the idea of copper on the wheels. Just something to go with what's going to be in the trunk.

Awesome build! I usually **** VW's but started to like them after driving that TDI. Can't wait to see more progress.

[SinlessVillainy]

I just realized that I never listed the future plans.

Future Plans:

• Air Suspension (Obviously. Coming the last week of November.)
• New Wheels (When I can make up my mind.)
• Retrofit projectors into OEM headlights. With 6000k HIDs.
• Carry the air suspension trunk theme into the engine bay.
• Paint the roof black.
• Add subwoofer to the factory head unit. With a fiberglass sub enclosure and amp rack with the same trunk theme.
• Votex lip kit.
• Considering changing up the VW emblem color.
• Shave the trunk emblem.
• Reupholster the headliner and pillars.
• Swap a MK5 Jetta rear suspension to bring the rear down more. (This will be further down the line.)
• e-Level (eventually)
• Chip. (When more options become available.)
• Add a few painted pieces on the interior.

I think that's all of the plans at this point.

haven't seen one of these done yet. Looks good!

Installed a ShockLog in my trunk today to monitor bumps during my trip to lunch to see how rough the coil overs are. The most severe was 22.10G.



I plan on doing the same test on the same roads once I'm bagged to see the improvement.

I liked where this build was headed right up until the point that you elected to swap the coilovers out for bags. I'm just a firm believe of static drops.

However, I think the car as a whole looks great. And the fact that you got those wheels for $89/pop (that's less than I paid for my 16" XXR's! ) is truly awesome.

If you took the dead strippers out of the trunk it would ride much nicer!

LMFAO Nick!

For the record, they're escorts, not strippers.
