What did you do to your mk7 today?

[TheSkeptic]

I've got the LC7i in my 2015 SE w/ Fender sound. Spliced into the existing sub line since it's already pre-EQ'd, and also allows me to control the aftermarket subs I have from the infotainment sound options. It also means that when I see the car, if the buyer isn't interested in aftermarket, the factory sub still works. I'll eventually upgrade the component speakers, but I'm not inclined to yet. The factory Fenders are acceptable. Not amazing, but acceptable. I'm a basshead, anyway.

Are both screens mods?

The FPS display is a permanent change I've made by changing the configuration of the AID navi screen.
Full screen Google earth was a temporary modification, in a different configuration file.

Installed a reminder!

Nice! Did you get a cap with the print on it?

What amp and sub are you running?

I thought maybe we were talking about the missing centre cap on the BRM, lol.

Thanks! Honestly $150 is a steal if they are doing it properly. Make sure they remove your shark fin which requires getting out the headliner to take it off. Otherwise you'll have a crappy looking area around the shark fin.



Tint is 30% ceramic film which puts my VLT just around legal limit in Washington state.

You don't have to remove the headliner. Just pop the rear trim panel and you can get to it. I have rather large hands and got them in there to tighten my shark fin after the wrap installer forgot to tighten it.

That's my 63 chassis. Caps are still in the box!

Installed a VWR stud and nut kit. The process was easy and straightforward, and I really like how much easier they make changing the wheels and the variety of spacers they allow for. I’m really digging the look as well.

Those look great. I do have a couple questions. Do they come in different lengths? Or do the lug nuts come in different lengths. I'm running neuspeeds with a 10mm spacer in front and a 15 in the rear. In your picture the stud isn't sticking through the nut. If you were running spacers (I can't tell if you are but it doesn't look like it, viewing on my phone) would there be enough threads engaged?

Yes, you can get studs in different lengths. I am running 15mm/20mm spacers with no thread engagement issues with 70mm studs.

always get the proper lugs for every spacer, which are the exact stock length + spacer thickness added. using anything else is asinine. the long studs in pics above do look pretty accurate.

Yeah, I'm not doing anything asinine. I'm running different size spacers front/rear, each set bought with correspondingly longer bolts. The poster I quoted mentioned spacer flexibility. In their pictures it didn't look to me like they were running spacers. My quick search for the kit only found one that said safe for spacers from 5-10mm, which is why I asked a question.

I'm drawn to the same conversion because the studs will stay where they belong. It alleviates the chance of bolts getting switched, as I found that mine had been when I did my tire rotation between my 10 and 20k dealer visit.

I'm digging the look too. Really sick. Love the RSe10s and the contrast with the studs. I too share the same concern about bolt length. You mentioned your spacer size, but Racingline doesn't advertise compatibility with spacer lengths over 10mm.

I forgot to mention that I have 2 sets of APR spacers being delivered today, 3 and 10mm for the front and rear, respectively. I never plan on going thicker than 10mm in the rear for a final offset of et35 with 19x8.5, so these were perfect for my needs.
