first thing that had to go were these butt as ugly silver buttons

as a comparison, this was the dash from my old car...isnt that so much better and less tacky?

since im pushed for time, im just going to do exterior mods today.... next i got monte carlo stock vw wheels wrapped in fusion zri 205/40/17 tires that absolutely stick to the ground...best buy i made on the car yet!

headlights, foglights and sidemarkers were all changed to have a clear look matching the rear taillights. the headlights are euro spec mk4 looks that needed some modification, the fogs are fk and i think so are the indicators.

exhaust was changed to a 2.25 Eurosport catback system with a JOM muffler....initially bought for my 2.slo but i managed to have it modified a little to fit my gti....2.25 is the same piping size as the stock exhaust system hence not a big improvement and not much change in intonation. euro spec bumper out back that has yet to be fitted properly and with no rebar underneath....dangerous i know but thats my middle name :) actually no its not... but i wont disclose it. The big GTI badges were swapped out for a more classy looking gti badge and the ugly red painted vw badge was also swapped out for a blue and white one... it took me a while to get used to it...i was thinkin of maybe jsut goin back to the stock badge but its grown on me a little. Shorty antennae of f of ebay replaces the stock busted up whip antennae.

paint still as clean as ever...although ihave to get this fender resprayed at the bottom...if you look closely ..right as the wheel overlaps the fender you can see some paint chipped off from sliding into a curb...alright more updates to come!
