I was thinking about putting some yellow lamin-x on my fogs for my TR GLI too, still not sure yet, but doesn't look bad

[12frostgli]

Like so...

or like mine:



it has done well going head to head with bugs and rocks at 70-80 the past couple weeks it has been done, no chips yet

[pattrick02]

x2...really can't decide yet. it does look good indeed though!!!

aero can you post some more pics of your fogs?

[12frostgli]

Like so...

also, know it's wrong place to ask this, but how did you get the bottom chrome strip off? havent gone at it yet, just seeing how it is attached to the lower bumper since it cant be the same as the top 4 pieces

no more Golf R wheels?

[REDGLI2012]

Lol actually got a smoking deal on these and they look just as good to me as the Golf R's and a hell of alot better than the stock base wheels im rolling with now. Monday is the day my suspension, wheels and lamin-x fogs go on so pics will be coming by tuesday the latest. Still debating tho on whether or not to do the gloss black vinyl roof

The thing im still on the fence with is the gloss black vinyl roof. i mean the price really isnt the problem, its will it do its job in really seperating my car with a unique look on a tornado red gli that you dont see very often you know?

[REDGLI2012]

this is before my coilovers and yellow fogs go on tommorow. just in case someone feels the urge to say " holy ****** wheel gap " lol. let me know how they look

[Jon.]

i actually didnt think I was going to like the s5 wheels (i dont typically) and it didn't turn out too bad, definitely going to look better lowered.

but i gotta say i would ditch the tinted tails, looks too contrasting on the red imo

yea im gonna see how it looks after the car is lowered tommorow with the fogs. i was thinking that as well.

[DangerousTacos]

Really digging the Audi wheels. Looking great so far! Red is a great colour for these cars.

[REDGLI2012]

[Jon.]

Yeah buddy! Looking good now. Can't wait for my adapters so I can mount my wheels I'm thinking about some yellow laminx for my TR GLI too

[rocketdub144]

[REDGLI2012]

Getting hubcentric spacers put on it tommorow due to the fact the hub is a little big and got a vibration. So after work tommorow getting them on so ill be good to go then

[REDGLI2012]

For the price they ride very good. Well worth the investment
