New VW to the forums

[Typhoon]

Just found this site recently and thought I'd post up. I have an '04 Jetta GLI bagged on 19" Jlines with 215 tires stretched. I don't have many quality photos of it yet, but here's a few. Fenders haven't been rolled, frame hasn't been notched, and nothing has been removed yet.

Little more info, because people will probably ask, and I was too tired to think about putting it in the first post.

The wheels are Jline 5RL2 19x8 on all four but they have staggered offsets so a 1 inch lip up front and a 2 inch lip in the rear. Front is et31 back is et25, tires are Falken 452's 215/35s.

The air ride is a coil over set up using raceland coil overs, slam specialties re5 bags in the rear and uvair aeros in the front.

Once I get everything rolled and notched, I'll probably go with a small spacer to push them out a little bit, but I kind of like tucking 19s.

Which old wheels?

Not sure yet about my work schedule, I might get down there though.

[akoehler]

Do you have any plans to change up anything? That front end looks really cheap to me for a car on bags and jlines. Wheels look good though.

[1985zcar]

Car could use a few things, but overall looks pretty good. Not feeling the eBay grill or headlights. Love the wheels though.

[OEMPLU5]

Ditch the headlights, grill and eyelids. Car looks great besides that.

this woman speaks the truf.

[Typhoon]

The headlights need to be sanded and re clear coated, and I'll probably keep them. The grill and eyelids will stay until I get a different grill and a boser hood. I have other small CF accents also. The stubby antenna, and the engine covers.

[Effin' Euro]

a stock grille and headlights without eyelids would look better imo.
and i bought your maks, you can buy them back if you want to still.

[Typhoon]

Ah, ok. I still might buy them back. Money has just been going other places.

I know a lot of people in the VW community just think halos belong on BMWs, but I've always liked them, so those are staying. I'm just too lazy to pull everything apart to refinish them. When I get the FMIC I'll do them when I have to remove the bumper to install it.
