thanks guys, especially to Harv and Cherise for asking me if I'd be interested. It's cold as hell out here and I've been incredibly swamped with family and work stuff, so sorry for the lack of new pictures. I forgot to thank two very special local folks: Next Level and Keith Boswell. Next Level has done some work for both cars (and my old MK3), and more importantly is a great local sponsor of all our events as well as regional stuff like H2O and Dubs on the Lake. They really do a great job  Also, Keith aka vw.insect did an amazing job on that custom GLI rear as well a lot of paintwork for the black car. I felt bad that I left both out of the article. I really only hang in the local forums these days, but as always the G4/J4 forum cars just kill everything else out there. I pop in every once in awhile and see the best dubs on Vortex in here. From the sheer beauty in OEM simplicity of tchristmac, Vengeance, Soul, greyvdub, and eurosvlt to the almost frankenstein-esque custom work of guys like tattoo20v and Trevis (and everything in between), I'm really proud to a be a MK4 owner (despite what the rest of Vortex thinks about us ). Beyond having the hottest and classiest VWs, this forum also has the best bunch of folks

Oh crap, so sorry, James. I did receive your e-mail and update your thank-yous as requested, but I was having some trouble with the article management software yesterday and it looks like a cached version of the story got published. I will update the article tonight as soon as I get home from work. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks so much for taking the time to put together your submission and for sharing your cars with us.

Beautiful cars, I agree, Imola should be a stock Jetta color. Simple, Clean, Elegant. Less is more
Tsudo 3" TB, Pwrhaus TIP, K&N Filter-on-MAF, Upgraded Dogbone, 20AE Suspension, Unitronic 2+ to come.Blacked out Interior, OEM iPod interface, Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth, W8 Overhead Console, B&M SS with Stock Knob, too many more Interior/Exterior Mods to list.
