Long time Lurker. Can't retrieve my old account info so i made a new one.
I'm Matt. 21, full time student, Part time worker when i'm not up at school.
Figured i'd start a build on here where things are more calm and collected, as well.
Second car, she's a 2012 Candy White GTI. So far it's a lease, and we'll see what the dealer says after 3 years when i try to give her back
This was day 1, all tiguan-like and such (Old car was on the right. Kinda-sorta-youtriedyourhardest-low Scion xb)
Within days the mod bug was hitting me. I knew it needed a suspension, and i knew it needed cosmetic work.
So, we took the front u-grill valence off, and had it color matched.
The side markers also came off, as well as my stock grille. The aftermarket grille came with a plastic notch, so i had that sprayed all at one time.
Next was the best part, more low.
Got her down as far as i could go, and the subframe was/still is banging on the axle.
I will need to notch as soon as i get back from school.
She's static, on FK Streetlines.
Next, i added smaller accents like the Golf R LED taillights,
Oh, and the license plate too
Fast forward a few months....
At school i had no job, and no real source of income, other than buying and reselling certain sneakers for minimal yet compounding profit, but i came up on what was to me, the steal i'd been looking for.
I was lurking through instagram a week before my break was going to start, and came across a guy selling 3SDM 0.05's for 1100 with tires, in great shape.
I told him i'd buy them the day i got back, and we settled on a time.
Extremely eager, we test fit them that day:
With such an aggressive fitment, i knew my fender was eventually going to be taking a beating, i quickly went and maxed out my rear camber in an attempt to avoid any damage that might occur (although the fitment was amazing IMHO)
After some adjustment, i got her to sit right, and not screw up my rear fenders any more than what had already occurred.
Took them off until i returned from school, with my plan in mind.
After returning a month later, my vision was about to be a reality, and i sent the wheels off for some powder.
Got them back the other day, and i was impressed with how much different they looked right off the bat. Totally fit the car.
And that, today, is how she sits. I will be taking them off until i return back yet again from school, because a 4 hour drive into the sticks of upstate NY will not do anything nice to these wheels.
My favorite shots now: (Yesterday's meet: 3/30)
I will update with goodies when i find them (pending people actually photog'd my car)
