You have to much money to spend
I was expecting like a old rusty cavalier for a beater..... I wish my cav looked as decent as that tho

its not that I have to much money... some of the parts are new some are used but there is NOTHING on this car I had to pay full price for, its surprising how little I've actual spent on this car. I refuse to dump a ton of money into it. I'm not even being all the bolt ons or anything in terms of perforamce, nothing expensive in terms of looks, and everythign suspension related. If I'm gonna drive it all the time I'm make it comfortable and fun to drive, plus I plan on taking this one auto crossing on weekends. I know what stuff I want for the car but I will not buy anythign until I find a good deal on the parts.
and thanks for the comments
I Love it, it is nicer than my DD.
How are the Infinity 4X6's I was thinking about getting those for my car?
Kind of off topic, but what is the name of the VW dealer you work at?
Best Time 15.917 at 86.86MPH
to be honest I was disapointed in the speakers, I had heard good things about them, they aren't bad but nothing to brage about. 4X6's can't actually make any bass though so it kinda sounds a little 2 dimensional, nice mids and highs but lows are lacking big time, even with the Type S 6x9's. I deal with VW all day, this aftermarket stuff sounds nowhere near as good as stock VW, I was hoping to get close to that, didn't happen. Like I said they aren't bad, I got em for cheap so they were deffinetly worth it, especially since the came AM/FM no cd, paper cone speakers, it had to go.
your beater has more mods then my car does
looks good and i want those rims!
just couldn't leave it alone could you!
looks good though i like it
k5 ftmfw!!
haha..cool. adding those mods on the cav makes the car feel alot better.
I love the clean look you keep with your cars, very tastefully done.
