Removed my dv+ since it felt like boost kind of starts and drops off, hard to tell without a boost gauge but figured id remove.

Also did the rear wiper delete.

Recent additions/subtractions:

Bfi knob and ecs climate control knobs. Im a sucker for anodized lol.

Black/red gti knifebadges. Just needed them

Resonator delete. Worth the hype! For 70 bucks i had a 2.5" pipe welded in place of my resonator and got the perfect sound (for me) it is literally the oem sound +10-15%. Slightly increased bass and growl - thats it! Which is what i wanted, to be able to just hear the damn car! Sounds great on startup and midrange rpms.

Lamin-x the taillights.

Boomba racing diverter valve spacer. Gives so much pshhh every time you let off the gas. I like it but dont like it. Like the taillights, kind of a ricer mod. Lol.

Removed the hood blanket and weatherstrip for more noise which i can also confirm... Lol

A pic of the fluidampr ahead and maybe a quick startup vid for the exhaust

Enjoy!

Other than that just driving this car around and loving it with 18000 miles now!

Got a black windshield cleaner fluid cap 'kit' :lol:

also ECS turbo blanket, excited to install sometime.

Have a TON on my list but as i become more responsible the money isn't flowing like it used to haha. If anything i should be saving up for brakes and probably a clutch (inevitable imo)

Well i ordered the maxton designs spoiler extension. Think its gonna look great.

Also on the list is the M.D. Front lip as well as a brake 'upgrade' kit as it's time for new brakes at 20000 miles.

Passed my 20k inspection last week and car is awesome. Love it to death. <3 :) lol

Sure is! Might pick them up tonight... hope it's not poser-ish but since they are the same brakes as the golf r (right?!) i am repainting the caliper covers and adding the 'R' logo instead since I really don't like the GTI logo. Lol

Anyone know if the GTI logo can just peel off or are they painted on? Thanks
