What makes you say that? This would be my first venture into VW ownership.

Took a trip to MD yesterday, got a few more shots.

Beautiful shots! You're good at photography.

Thanks!

I won't be tuning for a while. Had a bunch of issues with my last car, and I'm just looking forward to simply driving this one for a little while.

AWE is right down the road, though.

Where's the best place to get them from, as far as the quality of the color match goes?

And thanks for the compliments, guys.

Check around your local shops, many around here are able to remove them and get them sprayed for around $30

Looks awesome, welcome to the fold!

Easy enough. I've got a collision center at work, that shouldn't be very hard to get done.

Great Pics! Looking forward to the mods
