  • 2002 Jetta 1.8T

    hey guys, so here my car ill show you pics from when i got it to now, also a mod list to date and what future things i want to do, i am only 17 going into grade 12 so cash is limited as i dont work very much during school only summer, let me know for any suggestions which i am always open to and thanks for taking a look

    Mods: short ram intake
    Ultimo coilovers (Fk silverlines seized and im rebuilding them)15mm spacers up front/20mm rears ASAP
    18 inch privat Akentz rims

    Car ID headlights with projector halo rings and led strip (cut out led strip and halos as i dont like the look and want new head lights)

    3pillar boost/oiltemp/voltage gauges inside,

    Soundsystem with aftermarket speakers/subs/deck

    tinted windows 15 percent all around

    GLI Tails

    3inch down pipe to 2 inch test pipe no cat and res then no muffler (tips cracked so mufflers off getting welded but sounds way better
    and louder with muffler off

    shaved trunk


    Future Mods:

    full 3 inch exhaust into muffler

    CTS gt30 next summer hopefully with fully built engine

    gli front lip, side skirts, paint rear valence,

    staggered rims possibly bbs in far future
    all i can think of for now

    heres some pics from when i bought the car





    winter mode





    From then to now has been about a year and all the mods and changes have been done which im happy with, i took some photos today with my buddy which is the lowest i can go currently with my rubber on the front rubbing quite bad with shaved tires and the rears are maxed but will be more flush with new spacers











    Any feed back on things i should do or anything that can better my car would be appreciated !

    nice car. raise the rear or lower the front though, you've got an insane amount of reverse rake going on.

        I like it! It's your car so do what you think looks best.

        The only thing I noticed is the lack of an exhaust sticking out the cutout, so either delete the cutout or get an exhaust that will fill it in would look cleaner.
        GT3071R and more...

          ^he said the tips were cracked so he took it out to get fixed. Will be better soon im sure.

          Car looks great mac.

          I wish I had a more interesting color... I hate my reflex silver. I can't find any wheels other than BBS rs that look good on reflex silver.

            Don't see a shaved trunk on there unfortunately....
            And fixing the reverse rake should be high on the priority list, it looks like you are hiding about 2 dead hookers in the trunk
            Also as i mentioned before those headlights are atrocious

            Other than a few minor details the car looks really good as a whole, great choice on the clear fender markers they really make the color pop.

                    Haha no muffler sounds really good and deep and Loud but looks funny so I'm thinking of welding on a pipe with tips or all new 3 inch the whole way with tips but all in time.

                    Appreciate the comments

                      i think eric was wanting to get a valence with a cutout, maybe you could trade him for his valence without the cutout?
