yeah. thanks. its a portable one; got it on Black Friday for like $170 when normal retail is over $250. made the cord go around the dash to under the steering coloumn. so all the wires are hidden from view, much cleaner i'd say. __________________

Nice!
What make/model are your headlights?
I've been looking, but it's hard to tell what some of these kits look like on the car. | | | | | 12-21-2007, 05:06 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

Looks great Marv, see how hard it is to get a shot of the cluster when it's lit? I bet it took you like 5 tries to get that pic. I finally put my camera on self-timer and set it on the steering wheel with my hands off. It still wouldn't quite focus properly. And also, we all know what color the amber gauges are, but in your picture they came out a lot lighter for the same reason my blue gauges keep coming out light in the pics. I don't get it. If I use the flash, I lose the effect. You guys have to see it in person. The best way I could describe it is, well sit in a VW at night and you'll understand. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 12-21-2007, 02:28 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
nice, I like the embroidered headrests, how much was that? (or is it even embroidered?) | | | | | 12-21-2007, 06:39 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

its mostly stock with the m-tech features. | If it were my car I would take the M badge off the lower grill (although I will give you credit for putting it some place different), get regular clear corners or put the ambers back on, take the roundels off the headrests, and put a different muffler on. I would say that the worst part in my opinion would be the ebay corners. They look cheap and OEM clears or the stock ambers would look much better. And I dont wanna burst your bubble but I dont think your the first one to put roundels on your headrests. But its your car, do what makes you happy. __________________
