Thanks for checking out my build thread. I'll be updating this first post periodically along with build-photos along the way. I'll reserve 'placeholder' posts for updated photo/video-shoots after more serious changes (springs,wheels, ECU tune, lighting, etc.)
Car Original Spec:
Deal: Paid $38,550 (Invoice), $5,730 down. Financed $32,830 for 63 Months. It was nice to get 25,000 USD for my 2013 Volkswagen Golf R (Onyx White)
Thoughts on Dealer Experience: Superb! This dealership has moved 8 total Golf Rs (2015+2016) this year and they are no hassle, no fuss and exceptionally easy to work with. Deal was completed over email. Test drive performed the day I picked up the R. I had Mods shipped to the dealership that were installed before I picked it up. Getting the car for invoice was remarkable considering the demand.
I stole the template from ElephantTaco's Build Thread. Thanks man!

Criticisms are welcome but please keep in mind this is my build. Maybe something I do isn't cool or accepted but this is a learning experience for me and this is my way to document the modifications in an organized way and share photos with the community without spamming other threads.
