A lot of work and probably cash, but it looks great, post a few of the pics here, of the outside of the car anyway.:w00t:

Thanks for all the comments everybody.

About $2400 in parts and labor to get to this point. So yeah, a bit of work and cash. I was saving for a new car since 2008 so I had a nice fund reserved when I decided on the GTI. At least I got most of the mods out of the way right away. The car will be 2 months old on August 5th. Now I get to enjoy it for 3 years and then have to decide if I want to keep it or not.

As requested, here are the latest pics so you don't have to bounce around.
They aren't the greatest but they'll do for now.
After I get it washed I'll try to find a nice location for a shoot.
Please visit the vortex thread for detailed info on vendors and such.

Enjoy.

Very, very nice!

Shit is going to look sexy when you throw on those Black Detroits.
