    My first body kit for my 01 vw jetta gls
    Like or hate everyone has there own taste...I learned the do's and don't as I did it myself.
    Gotta do it yourself if you want it bad and can't afford to pay someone.

    Still have to install the side skirts, get the audi s6 led for the front bumper, mount some brackets, and extend the pipe out the back to finish off the grill on the back bumper. Doubt I will try to repaint the car myself. But heres my kit
    Any questions just ask. Motor is stock 2.0L would like to do a VR6 with 6-speed trans but money holds me up on doing all that. my nepfew who own the car me put the badfish **** on it, don't ask. it was his sublime song he liked ...go figure

    I would have never done this to one of these cars, but it looks ok. I've seen worse. It might look audi rs4 esk. Need to see painted.

    Yes it came with the kit...But you can buy it aside from the the kit. Its called "rs mesh grille" you can order it from http://www.regulatuning.de or get off there ebay store which is located in Schwerte, Germany. If you go the website and look under vw bora bodykit you will see what my jetta will look like after its painted and finished.

    Yes but its not chinese by far, made and sold straight from germany. The fiberglass is thick 3/16-1/4. Would be nice have urethane kit but the only ones I seen are to stock looking for me.

    So you made this yourself or did you buy it and install it yourself?

    I bought it, wish I had the tools and money to make my own. Would like to turn it in to a wide body kit. But money is slowing me down. In the process of doing the headliner at the moment. Yeah it does look like a audi but ...whats the difference they share parts so I don't see anything wrong with that. All I can say is you won't see anyone else with it so that just makes it more special for me, I'm way left field with my vw, if I had the money you bet your ass you would see it set for drifting but since I'm strap for cash I can only go one way with this jetta and thats keeping the motor stock and finish the body and paint and interior. Will start on the motor swap and engine bay last.

    Yeah no one else had it so I got, I lowered it enough(speedbumps,pothole,dead animals I can't run over anymore) but will swap from spings to coilovers and swaybars, the company that sells them is out of germany and yes they sell stuff on ebay as well from what I found out affter I got it. Far as poor man's audi....Same thing, what vw part isn't stamped with the audi logo. Not much of the fan with bags, I drive and corner to fast as it is. But this is the bodykit forum not stock so you get what you seek for lol....Got enough calls from people wanting me to part my kit to them...sorry nope
