    the vendors and what not were a little lack luster this year, but there was no shortage of very nice cars all around. . . everything from mk1 to mk6 alot of top notch cars.

    Well done Ramon...love the throwback 90s rendition of your GTI. This is a big difference from your arrow you were running a few years back (I'm the guy with the other arrow from WF).

    i think the car is perfect as it is with the exception of the headlights... the clear ecodes are clean but u need just a little more pop... clear mk4 looks, ABT duals or even smoked ecodes would set everything straight... i vote for mk4 looks or ABT duals.

    bottom line, your MK3 is as close to perfectly themed and styled as it gets.


    what's this biz 'bout dual round tails?
