    Add that euro passat air box cover to my list. It'll take a little bit to get here, but in the mean time I still have the power steering cover to put on. Also, picked up another valve cover to get fancy looking.

    Looks like I'm changing my bay around a little, nothing crazy like shaving and tucking just cleaner.

    Still waiting on my passat airbox cover, the axle and wheel bearing is currently being fixed, power steering cover still needs put on, and I bought an extra valve cover to polish/chrome.

    Finally, I went with a family "mod" and found a house and bought it!! This will be our first house, little family of 3, and we close on June 1st!!

    Where'd you order the cover from? I saw on a passat forum some guy had both covers for sale pretty cheap and was forsale for a few months but just sold before I saw them. Bad part was he was only 45 minutes from me.

    Well, I got the power steering cover from ECS and the air box cover I did a special order from TMTuning. It's the most I've ever spent and will ever spend again on some plastic pieces, but they're brand new and will be cool. The worst part about the air box is the shipping from Europe.

    $40 to the US 2-3weeks to get here and uses the post office, which makes me think it'll be more than the 2-3 weeks they say. UPS is an option but obviously it's even more. So with shipping added on to the regular price it's a decent amount, haha.

    If your friend can you get you the part, shipping should be cheaper, you'd think, since there's probably more options for him and TMTuning makes a little profit on the shipping costs too.

    Car should have axle and wheel bearing fixed tomorrow. Then it's time to finally lower it and put the wheels back on!! Hopefully it'll be back to normal by tomorrow night!!

    Well it's safe to say that I will not be ordering anything from TMTuning again. Placed my order from them on March 21st and my part was supposed to arrive within 2 weeks....well 2 months later I still don't have it. Each time I contact them they come up with an excuse and say it will be to me within a week or two. I've asked them now several times to just refund my money and they won't respond to it. I guess it's time to contact my credit card to get my money back, since I already had to pay the bill for it.

    Kinda sad that you had wheels built and shipped from Germany faster than they can box a part and ship it.

    Well I've been asking for my money back still and they keep saying that it should be delivered any day now.... for over a week now. I emailed them again and they actually told me that I need to be patient!! I think waiting an additional 10 weeks after it was supposed to be delivered is patient enough. Contacting my credit card tomorrow.

    It's safe to say I will never order from TMTuning again, horrible experience.

    Now they emailed me back saying that my package got mailed back to them and that it was shipped back out and will be here by the end of next week. They gave me some package number but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a tracking number and what carrier they're using. I'm waiting for a response on that one.

    Awesome thanks for the info, I'll have to try that tonight.

    edit: Just tried it out and it's a FedEx tracking number, but nothing shows up for it. I'll try again tomorrow to see if they gave me a real number.

    It has been awhile since I posted anything in here, I've been slacking on doing things to my car because I bought a house and I've kind of run out of ideas. I've been going back and forth about selling it so I can do another project or coming up with money to keep this one and buy another project.



    This one makes the rear look like a monster truck but the rear quarter sits on the tire, it actually rubbed away some of the tire for a perfect fit.

    I actually only rubbed it during one local VW/Audi cruise and it wore the tire down and now there's no rubbing at all, haha.

    A few pictures for those who don't have instagram, since I haven't posted in here for a long time. I still need to get a picture of the airbox and power steering cover on, hopefully I'll finally be able to make it to shows this year.

    I need someone who knows how to use a camera to take pictures of my car, that way they might actually look nice!!



    Dirty pic...

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a good way to clean up polished lips? I think I might finally take my wheels off for the winter and I want to really clean them up around the bolts, but mothers polish isn't going to work on its own. So any suggestions or tricks please let me know!!
