Fantastic! Love the organization and how all of the inventory is prepped for install.

When you get some time on your hands after these installs you should do a DIY of that rear puddle light install :thumbup:

I can do that Brunkel.
Within the next couple weekends I plan on pulling all of the parts off the car to paint.
Before I paint the rear diffuser, I'll take some pics of the wiring and hole that was drilled out.

If you do the Mirror and/or Door Puddles, It's easy to just splice into those existing wires.





Did Some Stuff With Things This Weekend

Cool thanks! Yeah I did the mirror puddle and door warning lights via your DIY. I get comments on it every time! Makes people jellies :drool::drool:

This is from the Day The H&R Super Sports got installed, Not yet settled in the pic.



Angry Eyes parked at Work

Then the other day, This happened.
ECS 17.5mm Rear Spacers
ECS 13.5mm Front Spacers

Now That's a "Flush Kit" ECS!!

Sunday the 4/11/2015, @ 29,750miles...... The Inevitable Happened, The Water pump sadly bailed out on me.
She's due to go in for warranty work this Thursday evening.

So, Everyone likes Pics, Right?
Well, Here are a few pics of the New Stuff.

I haven't had time to jump on here and update my Build Thread until now.


Back in September I decided to Prep and Paint some pieces in the Garage.
I have to give myself a pat on the back for a damn fine good job.
Everything turned out pretty nice considering it was Humid as all hell, I did everything out in my Garage, And it was all rattle can special ordered Paints.

Started Putting my Retrofits back together.




Finished up the wiring for my 10 LED White 5500k DRL/Amber Turn Signal Switchback modification.


Installed the Color Matched Eyelids inside the Housings.
They Came out perfect!!!
Perfect Color Match and a Wet Look ClearCoat on the tops of the lid.

Testing out all of the Lighting before I seal them up.


They look Blueish in the pic, However in person they are Stark White.


The Pic here didn't turn out like they look in person either.
They are UV/Purple, Almost emit a Black Light look in total darkness.




Yes, These are Custom Made 3000k Yellow LED Bulbs installed in the inner projectors.
They shine darker in color in person.
To resemble the MK4 E-Code Headlight Option as a DRL.
all lights can be run independantly or together at the same time.



These Damn Switches bearly fit in the OE blank button slots.
there was a lot of time taken to get all three switches wired up properly and fitted in the blanks evenly.





**Not Pictured** I also Installed a Double Apex USB Outlet Switch that has been run into my MDI outlet in the Center Armrest compartment.
More Pics to come of the finished Product.



Custom Brackets had to be made for the FX-R 3" 3.0 series projectors.

I was origionally building a custom 3" Turboback exhaust with 4" tips, But back in September, The weekend I was painting all of the exterior pieces, I came across a Purchase of a Lifetime.
A Bearly Used EuroJet TBE with upgraded Catted DP and all of the bells and whistles.
I couldn't pass it up and Jumped on the combo right away.
At the same time, two days earlier, I purchased a EuroJet Canister w/ Tips.

I decided to sell all of the Custome components along with the EuroJet Canister, And install the Full TBE.
I LOVE The Sound and Performance that this system freed up.
probably one of my favorite aftermarket installs thus far on this car.







House Of The GTI!

previous to the shot above, this was the project in the garage, 4 GTI's Deep.


Later that Afternoon...............








A little magic was applied and I was able to drop the front end about 1/4" more.
I think it looks much better, However... another 1/4" would be perfection!!!

Newest Project and Install Savage Chassis & Engineering 3 point Rear Upper Subframe Brace install.

I wanted the bar to be Gloss Ruby Red before installed, So I cleaned up a couple of welds, sanded down the rough runs and edges, sprayed 2 coats of Color, 2 Coats of Clear, and re-decaled the bar.
It turned out exactly the way I wanted.

The Bar on the Left is mine, Bar on right is a good friends.
