AKdubs BluGraphite

[AKdub914]

i want to get these wheels as "winter wheels" any idea on the specs? or where i can pick up a set new?

May be hard to find the chrome unless you search like crazy... You can pick up a pair in the audi wheels n tires classifieds ive seen one or two sets up but dont think theyre 8.5 wide

[AKdub914]

LOVE how clean and mean this looks! What percent or which LaminX should I get to achieve this look? I should be picking up a 2010 Jetta in Blue Graphite by January EXCITED!

Graphite blue is a nice color congrats man.. Keep it clean dont over do it

[AKdub914]

Tails came in today. Now to finish my lighting project n install them

[sebasEuRo]

Graphite blue is a nice color congrats man.. Keep it clean dont over do it

Yea I like to keep it OEM+ I am in Europe right now and trying to see if I should leave my PS3 here with my family just so I can pick up some OEM Jetta led tails And you're right, the Graphite Blue is a really nice color, I always liked it.

Keep trying to picture them on the Graphite Blue, can't wait to see yours on

This was my previous Jetta...you might have seen it here...or not

[AKdub914]

Yea ive seen that car...super Clean! Cant wait to see what you do with the blue one

[sebasEuRo]

Thanks man, hey does your dash light up blue or white like the mk6s? Mine has the white gauges and I love it, reminds me of my MK6 GTI...I should've kept that gti

[AKdub914]

You had a mk6? Whyd you get rid? Yea mine is blue and red accents i thought it was a bit much at first but grew on me

[sebasEuRo]

I got rid of it because of stupidity...I saw a CC 4motion I wanted a got a good deal on it at the time but then regretted selling the GTI ever since So after that I just decided so get something less expensive...I was wasting wayyy too much money on monthly payments

[AKdub914]

Yea man blue graphites the way to go. I originally got it because i didnt see anyone else with it and the color is nice. Now there will be a few blues out at the upcoming events next year

[AKdub914]

Nice to see what ur doing to it man. Its ganna look great. Looks like 2012 is the year of spending.

[AKdub914]

definitely... i have been spending... but on a budget. little by little. i texted you man

[KyleCrish]

Tails came in today. Now to finish my lighting project n install them

how are you planning on getting the euro grills to work? i thought they had different tab locations than the US bumpers.

[AKdub914]

Yea they do have different tabs. i was going to custom fab the whole thing and make them fit but i went and got OEM fog grilles for the mean time. I still have the euros in new condition.. I may sell them

[rocketdub144]

Damn. Nice progress and looks good.

[AKdub914]

thanks man... this winter is a winter of investing in the ride... want to look nicer by spring...

Does anyone know where i can get a set of 4 215/40/18 tires? I have 4 nankang ns2 @ 225/40/18, id like to trade with someone local they have about 70% tread on em and minor rub wear. I need to stretch a little more so i can go lower.. tuck the rubber and poke the wheel. i checked classifieds and even craigslist. know of anything let me know thanks

[AKdub914]

as spring approaches im getting the heavy mod bug and im burning through winter hybernation $$$. all for a good cause though. i attended the 5th annual Grey's Papaya/ city pie cruise with the tri state family on saturday and had fun. even got the lady to join me for once lol.

made another purchase
215/40/18 Pirelli P Znero M&S's. like i said im going lower and have to stretch abit more to avoid massive rub


also have a bunch of stuff for sale... check it out if you need parts and are going back to stock
BUY EM CHEAP!

[AKdub914]

Cant see any posts on my computer.. I get banned?! Anyone else having viewing issues?

Glad to have the vortex back!!

[AKdub914]

My pirellis came in today. Shouts to tirebuyer for the fast free delivery

Pirelli P zero nero m+s 215/40/18 to stretch on 18x8.5s. Gonna be nice with the new coils and the drop



Room smells like an auto parts store now instead of clean laundry

[sebasEuRo]

[AKdub914]

Lol yea my girls not gonna like it! Hey nice grab on that votex exhaust sebas, Ive seen nothing but good raves about em and at a good price too!!

[driftme]

[AKdub914]

Niice drift! Yea i still have em.. I should be taking them off in about 2 weeks so theyre not goin anywhere anytime soon. I have you in mind

[driftme]

[sebasEuRo]

Thanks, I'm excited to put it on
I wish more people would put videos up of the sound..

[AKdub914]

Yea i saw one guy on here post a video but sound is hard to record and hear good. unless you have good microphones and good speakers or headphones while listening

Today i picked these up:
and completed my new wintermode set up



No more mugellos

[sebasEuRo]

Those white ClassiX are awesome! Nice score! Looks really good man.

[arismkv]

I like

[AKdub914]

Thanks guys.. Theres alot more to come..

I have my old set for sale.. Good tires and TPMS still in em. S scratches from ice and shoveling but nothing major. Great set of winter beaters for someone who wants to rid themselves of steelie hubcap land!

[fsiguy]

White classix were a huge improvement!

[sebasEuRo]

Hey can you post a pic of your front end? I'm debating to get the new Wolfie grill with the chrome slats...I currently have the all black one but I'm trying to see what it would look like with the other one

[AKdub914]

Here you go man, its kinda recent but today i installed my fogs and grilles. Pardon the paint chip thats fixed now lol. Yea chrome slats look really good on blk grilles.


I also went to install my euro led tails today and i couldnt get the wiring out of the pin connector.. I put back the original light for now but my blinker is messed up.. It blinks fast on my dash display but the tail light does nothing. Im thinking a error because the bulb out warning light is on in the cluster... Anyone else experience this?

[driftme]

im so jealous of you with those classix lol. been looking for some myself. im still in steelie land =[

[AKdub914]

Yea i had to get a nicer winter set up. They have new blizzaks on them and grip the road like no tomorrow lol.

I have my stock wheels up forsale for whoever wants to step out of steelies

[skyline513]

Love the white clasiX on the blue graphite. Looks really good man
