I got my own hang down kid…
I could easily spend $3k on mods for this car right now. And that's only like... 6 things and doesn't include another $3500 of wheels and tires.
Not sure of priority asides from tint as soon as my car is inspected. Power folding mirrors will definitely be the last. Spending $700 on a JB4 kills me when you can get ones for the 7/7.5 used for like $200. I contemplated Zhong Zhong lights for about half of that, but decided against it. Also contemplated OEM ones for double that. Think the BMPs (which lets be honest, are probably Zhong Zhong lights with a custom harness anyway) are a good middle ground. Unlocking the matrix LED headlight function seems really neat, but paying almost $600 for someone to remote in and do some coding seems wild.
Decisions, decisions...
| BMP Illuminator Tails | $689.99 |
| Power Folding Mirrors | $797.17 |
| JB4 Group 17 | $698.00 |
| Window Tint | $300.00 |
| Frameless Homelink Mirror | $291.96 |
| Matrix Headlights Unlock | $571.88 |

Paying full pop for a JB4 that won't be a permanent solution is a waste, I say this as someone who has had a JB4 on their GTI, and still has one on their daily. If you think you won't be putting a flash tune on this car, you're lying to yourself

But muh warranty!
Idk. I was perfectly fine with the JB4 in my 7.5. If it wasn't a case of going "Holy fuck. $600 for a gesi downpipe? I'd be stupid not to!", I don't think I would have flash tuned it. I made it a year with the JB4

OR just do stuff that isn't likely to be a warranty problem. Get some <100tw tires, a manual swap, $4000 Penske shocks, then let the car sit on jackstands for a yearBut muh warranty!

j/kactually though tires and sway bars would be an EZPZ solution. And an exhaust. But mk8s aren't slow out of the box. Idk, if anything I'd wait for a JB4 to come around used.
