Center caps look good! I'm rocking those black traklite's for winter right now. Thinking about just keeping them on for summer.Swapped DVs, cleaned it, and finally put the decals on my centercaps.

Bit the bullet (it hurt a lot after spending $700 on the Unitronic stg TCU tune a while back), upgraded my Cobb AP (another $400) w/ the new license and their fairly new DSG tunes. Man oh man was it worth it, only took a drive around the block just now on D (hadn't used D in months since Uni's TCU tune sucked badly in D mode) using Cobb's "aggressive" TCU file, of course I went w/ aggressive first LOL wow.....I can finally drive around in D and reserve M for those moments when I want to be in total control. If you hate (strong word but I truly hated them) your OEM TCU or Uni's TCU for that matter, don't wait one.more.day.!!!! Of course I also purchased Ed's TCU tune (EQT), but that will be for when the Littco gets installed in mid March.

You will love EQT's TCU tune. It is way better than Cobb's ots. You should run it now

Right. This brings me to a question I had the other day when sitting in a touchless car wash. I’m running an APR intake which is essentially wide open to the great outdoors. Wondered how much water would get into the intake when the high pressure water sweeps across the front end of the car.

Realistically this is easy to avoid, just don't pressure wash the hell out of directly under the front of the hood..
The scoops are placed so the air comes up from the front fascia from underneath the front of the hood. Only way even with the stock scoops wide open for water to actually get to the intake would be if you had the car running and sprayed high pressure water directly up under the front of the hood. If for some reason you did get a little water into the intake box, etc. pretty much all have the same kind of drainage hole that attaches to the stock hose, so it will just drain off people

The 7.5 has open ends on both air ducts already... must not be too much of an issue imo

I've done this mod and also my MK7.5 has both air "slots" open and it's been fine for over a year now. I should tell you that it rains pretty much 7 months of the year around here. If any water does make it in there is drainage at the bottom of the stock intake.Good luck when it rains or snows or you get in a sand storm

First I removed the light background on the radio channel buttons. But... there was still a dark gradient overlay on the buttons, which I removed.
And then it got cooler.
