Thanks for the kind words, glad you find it to your liking - I too was like you searching for the 'perfect' shifter for me and when I couldn't find it I decided to do it myself. I have made kits for several people now, definitely keeps my hands busy doing something productive!

love sound deadening. Quite worth it for me doing only one door (which just had a lot of rattles for some reason) and the whole rear hatch minus the roof.
Significant decrease in noise from the back, and the added bonus of improved subwoofer performance. I will go on a limb to say it is NOT placebo effect, the effects of rattling are gone and you can verify when you close that hatch lid nice and firm and hear a satisfying thump instead of a ker-chiper-kink!
It should also be known that there are things that can be done to better insulate the underbody... i added some extra material between my heatshields and the underbody to decrease some of that rattle, while working on isolating my fuel lines.

Sabo, I'm going today to pick up soundskins pro. I really appreciate you being so thorough in your posting about this product, like Quebster was as well. I also found that you outlining how many tubes you used is going to be great and keep me from spending money I don't need to.
I don't plan to do some of the areas you did. Just my trunk, hatch and 4 doors.
Out of curiosity, what roller are you using for the application process?

I was wondering where you have been.
What have I missed?
They released a special edition USA version Clubsport Z that has 350HP.
Unique racing seats with CF backing.
Bridgestone RE-71 racing tires.
All LED lights with special red engine bay lighting.
Comes with 10 year 100,000 mile warranty and a factory tune.
Forgot the best part.
You know the cubby in front of the shifter?
They now have a red LED bulb in it that comes on when you open it.
Leave it to VW to think of that. Smart of them.
Other than that, not much.

16. Front Door LED Warning Lights
Up until now, I've mostly finished off cosmetic mods, outside of the Euro tail install. So, my confidence was growing. I really wanted to tackle something requiring some removal of something, something mechanical, electrical, whatever. Something with some risk. I came across member golfdave's posts on door warning lights. Now this is it! Let's do it. I completed the 2 front doors only. Rear doors a little trickier and less worthy IMO.
I have already posted my DIY around the forum. It even got picked up by Deautoled as their link for installing their led warning lights. AWESOME!
Cost: $40-60 depending on light type selection
Advice: Consider doing the power folding mirror mod at the same time as you need to remove door panels and probably best to do this only once. Also, my model and year had the ambient lighting already in the door (no coding required), however if your make is without ambient lighting, then coding is required to work (I'm searching for a thread and will post)
Options: LED color options are available for Red/White (mine), White/White, Red/Red
