Yeah that would look so much worse with 4 doors. There'd be like, 1 more line and a handle. OMG LOOK RUINED.

OEM clear side-marker headlights will probably run 1.5k to 2k...I'm so disappointed by this. On the Golf it looks fine with amber but on the GTI with the red line through the headlights...ugh

 

[XGC75]

Yeah, I don't mind it either. I never liked the bumper ones because they look so "tagged on" and last minute. This looks just fine.

They even look alright if they're integrated along the wheel well.

200lbs won't happen... that's all I am saying. Maybe 50 at best.

Probably not, no. But I can dream. The F150 lost 700...

The head lights don't look too bad though even with the amber reflectors built into them. Gti guys can always buy golf head lights to get rid of the red strip thing or trade them. I am sure some people out there like that whole red strip thing built into the head light :iono:.

where are the lines for the rear bumper? anyone have more rear shots?

The R won't have the red line through the headlights:

Solution: get a R instead of a GTI.

Correct.

Exactly! :thumbsup:

I'm not a fan of the GTI's red line through the headlights (although it wouldn't be a deal breaker), so it's just another bonus on the R.

Not a bad looking car. I'm getting an Audi S3 Sedan instead! I wish it was a hatch but they only bringing the sedan.
