That's all I could think of at the moment but I'm sure I'll be editing that list, especially as things get done.

PICS!





Engine bay pics are a little outdated but I'll update them either today or tomorrow with the new fresh look!



EDIT: OKAY. Well I FINALLY took those engine bay pics, but my shitty computer froze while they were uploading so I'm gonna have to post them up tomorrow or later tonight if I find the time. Photobucket did manage to get this uploaded though. I'm not a sticker fan but, it just made sense that I have this one

P.S. it had just rained, so the car is dirty, I am aware.

Thank you sir.

I think I'm keeping it actually... I'm kind of hot and cold on that subject haha.

[Sitrane]

Jeez...your killing me Vicky!

Well shes beautiful regardless. Definitely keep us updated on what you do.

1. nice joey-esque mod, purple headlights are dope.
2. black roofs and textured/euro rubs are HAWT on a silver jetta.
3. How many hours are you gonna pick up on to be able to pay for all of that? and can i have a job like that?

Overall a great list, a good idea, maybe ill throw one of these together later. Ill be awaiting updates!!

And nice pictures for what i assume is a point-shoot camera, you got a good eye!

now, off to do my interior pieces! im scared

[Tommy G]

car is looking really good! hopefully you get to some of those mods soon, especially the exterior ones

[DasBohan]

Any skirts yet?

[vento:)]

textured/euro rubs are HAWT on a silver jetta.

I'm not really a fan of textured rubs on silver jettas. Well, I'm not going to be getting ALL of those things lol. Just hoping to get the sideskirts ordered and maybe coilovers. The rest will come, slowly but surely.

Any skirts yet?

No. But I did make up my mind... I'm gonna go with R32 reps instead of the M3.

looks good yooo

Thanks.

[DasBohan]

Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Thank god. I hate m3 skirts. theyre all wrong to me. Im snaggin some r32s as well.

[Vixen]

Well I've got one new pic up on page one haha. As I said along with the new one, my computer sucks balls and I'll have the new bay pics up tomorrow at the latest.

GIRLSCOUTS HONOR.

[Vixen]

OKAY FINALLY. I've got a vacuum line pinched under my engine cover that I have to fix that I just noticed, damnit.





Also, after looking at old pics, I'm thinking about buying a JOM badgeless grille, but I don't know if I want to stay with the black... I kind of like the silver arrow grille, it looks cleaner. I can't decide!

[OregonDweller]

the black badgeless grille would look good with the look your going for right now, and so would a silver arrow badgeless grille, play with photoshop and see what you think.

[Boost Addicted]

Well look at it this way... Silver Arrow can always be painted black.

INTERIOR PICTURES!!

[vento:)]

fresh cover! and i think it would look good with the silver grill cuz you have silver rubs and shit, but black would match your lower rain trays

Vixen, nice list and all but not a fan of the purple lol. keep at it though! cant wait to see the skirts and interior pics.

Shes a chick... What do you expect lol, red and black?!

[DasBohan]

purples awesome. I love it. GET SKIRTS PLEASE! K THANKS BYE.

and its not a girl color. There is no such thing. Purple=hawtness. end of story ha.

[Boost Addicted]

Well don't get me wrong.. Her car looks great with purple accents..

But the day you find my GLI with purple will be the day you own a 92 Civic hatchback with an RSX engine swap, sitting on 13's wrapped in walmart brand condoms

aww i just got a mental image. Walmart has a brand of condoms? ha

[OregonDweller]

walmart has its own shotgun ammo appearently, condoms wouldnt surprise me.

Purple is not a girls color, its awesome!

[SC2.0]

haha i dont mind it, its just not my first choice, and its not just a girls color.

[Boost Addicted]

walmart condoms = shitty ass tires lol

****.. if walmart has condoms..... whats next?? lol

[Vixen]

Yeah I've been keeping my eye open on the 'tex because I don't want to pay $215 + shipping from Germany from tmtuning 'cause I don't have that kinda money lol.

Haven't had any luck on there though, only ones I've seen are Dubteknic ones, and I'd say 75% of vortexers say the fitment sucks soo I dunno about that.


HAS ANYONE SEEN ANY REAR VALANCES THAT DON'T HAVE A CUTOUT FOR EXHAUST I really need a rear valance aswell but I don't want to have to buy a new muffler since my dual tipped magnaflow is without a cutout so it hangs lower.

[OregonDweller]

Ill trade you mine + $$$

[Vixen]

Ill trade you mine + $$$

Sorry, I meant aftermarket. I have a stock valance lol.

INTERIOR PICTURES!!

Here you go. It just looks like every other GLX with leather interior.

Note: I usually have my radar dector plugged in, but I had just vacuumed the car so I had to iPod adapter in.
