Is that white on the tires?

The white is tire foam.

Photog snapped the pic before it cleared away.

Haha \m/

My coilovers are maxed out and i'm at 22.5" FTG.

I need to figure out how to get the front lower. Camber kit and i guess a little cutting.

The rear can drop another 1/2" or more.

Everyone has their right to their opinion! I respect it. It's not a look for everyone.

Glad you like em!

I loved the wheels when they were white, and I love them even more with the fun-fetti. Looks great!

Not sure how that's possible since I've never seen it on a vw, but that's ok.

Next purchase will be RS's i suppose..

So Since I had the whole 'Jawbreaker' wheel theme going on, I decided to enter my first show.

A few friends and I were tossing around ideas as to how to give the car more flare. After all, I am static, so a bag setup really isn't possible.

But why let it stop the imagination? As it was, I've been asked more times if i'm bagged, than any other question regarding the car. Why not try to troll a little more?

That's where the trunk design came into play. Continuing the jawbreaker theme, I decided to get a box of jawbreakers. 850, to be exact. One inch, like a gumball. Maybe i'd toss some near the wheels, and give some out at the show.

Then, building a floor to keep them on was a choice. Where do you buy jawbreakers? A candy shop of course!
And what could set off the setup, to look bagged, but not really BE bagged? Well, a tank.
I sourced an old water pressure powered fire extinguisher at an old welding shop, and walked out with it for a mere $10.

Then came the cutting, and building of a hinged door for it. Now, there was a place for the jawbreakers.

The floor came along nicely, with red and grey tiles, that were adhered atop a false wooden floor. It was finally starting to look somewhat like an old school candy shop.

Sourcing more parts, i gathered some old style glass candy dispensers, a gumball machine, and of course, the candy itself. Added some vinyl to the floor and hinge, and put it all together.

Fast forward a few days, i drove down to Waterfest after a full detail, rainstorm, and a re detail. She was ready.







Oh, and I ended up taking First place in my class.
Not bad for my first show





I kept refilling the tank as best as i could, and the reactions to the faces when they found out I was static, and still made such an intricate 'fake' bag setup, were priceless.

'So where is your actual tank mounted?' Was my favorite question.

Additionally, during the show, i was approached by a man with his son, who chatted me up about my lack of a boost gauge. I originally thought he was going to try and sell me one, but he ended up telling me that he owned p3cars, who makes digital vent mount boost gauges. To him and his partner, they had chosen my car as their pick for a free gauge. That in itself, was a great feeling as well. This was before the awards had commenced.

Man, I would LOVE one of thoese Jawbreakers lol

that free gauge is pretty sweet too, i'd love to see that hooked up

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Oh shit, that boost gauge is a great idea!

Love the jawbreakers. I always like owners that don't take their cars too seriously.
