Good Start with the mods man! What did you use to attach those seat handle badges?

They come with a 3M adhesive on the back, so you just pull off the plastic cover align and place.

I don't have the rain/light sensor so I can only do it manually by flashing the lights before I get out of the car.

I got some gloss black emblems and put them on along with my new grill. I also got a set of LED city lights from superbrightleds.com.

I couple days ago I got a set of DriverGear Base Carrier Bars for $130 of a local Volkswagen enthusiast and orderd a set of DriverGear Ski Racks. Also I got a DriverGear Snow Brush. (I'm prepping for next winter .) I get my license soon too (April 16)! A few weeks before that I'll get a chance to go auto-crossing in Columbus. Here's some of the pictures I took of the bars.

Love the roof rack but not in love with your front grill.

I haven't got a chance to update this in a while, but a couple weeks ago I got a chance to go autocrossing and really get a chance to feel the capability of the car. I had a blast, and I also beat a Corvette that was there (Even though I have never autocrossed before, nor do I have my license.).

R.I.P. Kumho Ecsta (Tires.)

Here's the other GTIs that were in my class. The other MK6 was going really slow, and the MK5 had an older guy that was really quick.

I also installed deAutoKey's LED interior and license plate lights. They look are really bright, and look awesome. The only thing is that during the install I broke the housing for the left vanity mirror, so I need to buy a new one of those.

I haven't had a chance to update in a while, but since then I've got a chance to go to another autocrossing event and installed a couple of things. Also I got my driver's license, and I passed without any penalties! I'm kind of scared after taking the test, not scared of driving, but just the fact that the test is so easy. I think it needs to more challenging, maybe not as extreme as Germany, but this was way too easy.

I also went autocrossing at Kil Kare Speedway this past Sunday, and had a great time! I think I liked the smaller lower speed course better, but I still learned a lot and got to see some nice cars.

Now for the upgrades! I bought another Forge DV Spacer (The other one didn't come, and it's a long story.) and I got it installed and I think I like it. Sometimes it can be a little annoying, but it makes it sound angrier! I also installed OEM Porsche Oil and Coolant caps! They look really nice, and make the engine bay a little classier. I also have a black Windshield Washer Fluid cap that's coming in the mail.

Looks good man. I think I'm going to have to get one of those wallets.

 

[TheGTIChannel]

I like the Porsche caps. Could you link me to where you got them by any chance?

 

[bimmer635csi]

You got the mad-lean too!

Nice job on the autocross.
