    Hey man, when did you move to Gville? I remembered your Jetta from back in Panama. I used to have the Rave Green GTI before I moved down for school a couple years ago, if you remember anyways. Congrats on the R!

    a little grainy, but I like how they turned out.

    Also, this one's for Av. Here's the light output of the Hellas.

    Thanks a lot manMuch appreciated.

    And lol, I just noticed that in that picture, its just a reflection of something/the glass being photographed that somehow gave it that effect. Pretty nifty though.

    Hellas ftw If you have any wiring quesitons or anything, shoot me a PM.

    And I got the mudflaps on RallyArmor.com

    Thanks!! I don't have a heat gun and I was concerned about drilling into my bumper, so I got my buddy who owns a shop to do it. He did a great job.

    Thanks man, I love the lip too.

    And I'm going to use a black satin paint and then go over it with black protective enamel.

    Think you could take some pics of how you mounted your mud flaps?

    Plan on getting these myself and I'd like to see what you did to install it.

    I don't have any pics and they're off the car right now. But, I just used the fender liner screws in the front after drilling holes in the Rally Armors. Then for the rears, removed the rear wheels and bought longer screws the same diameter as the fender liner screws. Drilled again, inserted longer screws through the rear Rally Armors, and put everything back on. I honestly just eyeballed it and had a buddy hold them in place and mark where they were when I found where I wanted them to sit.

    This explanation is good enough. Just wasn't sure if there was some proper way to do it. I was planning on eyeballing it myself. haha Thanks!
