    Wabbit's Build Thread

    Hey guys I'm getting ramped up for modding this year now that it's warmed up a bit. So I figured I'd clue you guys into what I've done so far. Bare with me as my camera isn't the greatest :P

    The day I bought the car:


    Got some Sunglasses for mah bunny about mid January:


    Then I picked up a cheap stereo upgrade in the form of the Premium 7 HU:


    Once it warmed up I got around to installing my Laminex taillight tint (Gun Smoke 17%):


    Yea, not alot yet but you gotta start somewhere xD

    Things I plan to do:
    -CAI Intake and exhaust
    -Blacked out Badges
    -Lowering springs/cup kit
    -GTI front bumper
    -GTI sideskirts
    -Vortex rear bumper/diffuser
    -Projector headlights and maybe a HID kit if i can find the cash :P

    even a spring kit will cost you at least $300(kit+alignment) if you do the install, if not add another $250-350 for the install. if I would have to do it again, I would go with the Raceland kit.

    Re: Wabbit's Build Thread

    So It's been while since I posted up anything here so I figured I'd update everyone. Got my exhaust installed and I blacked out my badges as well as installed my new headlights:





    Hmmm Exhaust tip....



    BLACCCCCCCKKKKKKK




    And I got a Video of startup + some REV action

    Today Teh Bunneh got a bath today as well as a wax. Last week I got the Front Spoiler painted and mounted. Changed out my winter GTI mats for some purrty Rabbit ones, and got my new engine cover painted and installed.










    All Clean :P


    The engine cover didn't come out perfect but it works for now may repaint the red bit later.
