So I lurk a lot and don't really post, but slowly over the past year or so I've been playin' w/ my car and finally got it to a point where I think it looks like the way I want it to for the most part. I'm considering a modest front lip spoiler / splitter, also toying w/ the idea of painting the center of the hood w/ the same black/red/grey plaid from the seats....well, what do you guys think???

Re: FV-QR (girth brooks)

You need to work on your offsets, something about that stance just isnt right. Your are at a decent height for a daily driver, but there is a little poke and it makes the stance look like ass. 19s are too big for a mk5, I would only go 18s max.

Black wheels dont look good.

Agreed, you lose all wheel definition. I don't like the design of A8Ls either.

I agree with you on the stance, but not on wheel size. 19s look great on a MK5, I personally prefer 18s for a few reasons but 19s look great.

I agree 100% with Eddie. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
 
I think there should be a body kit to make it look like a real GLI 1990-1992.
Joking aside I like the idea of the plaid carried onto the body, but maybe with transparent colors, kind of like a water mark or ghost graphic, the roof would probably look better than the hood though.
