ive got several plans for it! some are already being shipped!
what i have planned so far is:
black headlights
black roof
black B-pillars
black grille
5% tint all around
eibach pro lowering springs
stock BBS wheels
exhaust

what may happen:
roof rack
CX Racing FMIC
short throw shifter

Can't wait to see the mods!
this thing is awesome to drive, just needs more turbo whistle and some style

im not sure how much longer the stock clutch is going to last, i like jamming threw the gears

the truck hasnt been drove in over a week, but thats mostly from having a dead battery but its definitely goin to be driven less now. that way it will have low miles and NO MORE RUST from the damn salt in the winter. it will be nice and clean in the garage with the bike!

the Vdub is goin to look sick once i get gone with it!

It's great since I got it for free! I need a place to carry my bike and I never really liked the trunk mounted ones and keeping it inside all the time sucked too. If I was to buy one I'd get a lower profile one with thinner feet and the aero bars. This one did make some wind noise, the fairing took most of it away. Installing it was pretty easy, most VWs come with the mounting points tapped and drilled with the hardware under the weatherstrips.
