Very nice! Gosh I have a weak spot for Neuspeed wheels.

Love the P3 gauge, it's really a useful tool.

Thanks man! All of the Neuspeed wheels just look like they were made for these cars. They almost seem as if they would be OEM on a higher trim level package.

I plan on using the P3Gauge to track power increases, temprature differences, etc with each mod. I know it wont be 100% accurate all the time, but it will be nice to use it to document baseline numbers and then track any improvements with each mod.

I completely agree about Neuspeed. They have some of the best fitting, looking and performing parts on the market.

I usually keep my gauge on intake temps, sometimes I'll check coolant on long drives. It's really a great 'gauge'. It's really accurate, straight from the ECU though I would recommend getting the analog boost sensor.

I guess you were able to pop the VW emblem out of the Detroit Huffeisens and into the Neuspeeds? I don't think most wheels would accept that right? Neato.

Where did you get the LED taillights? I see prices ranging from $250 to $600 depending what site or eBay selling I'm looking at. Nice little touches everywhere on your ride like that glove box aluminum.

I'm wondering how those gunmetal Neuspeed rims would look on Carbon Steel Gray... maybe too much dark. Hrm.

Yes, Neuspeed wheels are specially made for our cars. The VW caps fit right in and the offsets and sizing is perfect for our cars.

I would recommend the the Hyper Black finish for your CG. They aren't actually black and would be a really nice contrast. Check out the vendor wheel section of the forum for info and pics.

Regarding the tail lights. I would purchase either the OEM lights or Ziza brand from ECS Tuning. Neither of these options have condensation issues and the Zizas fit is pretty spot on.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments!

Hyper Black is apparently lighter than Gunmetal? Weird. Now I'm kind of tempted. How did it feel to switch from Detroits to that Neuspeed set? I know Detroits are heavy, but I actually really like them. Just wondering how much a difference you feel with the lighter weight.
