Congrats on the pickup and the euro rear headrests (I’m currently on the hunt for some for my GTI). I look forward to following your build on this one!

Just made it 100% easier to be blinded by brodozers from behind, but they look so much better

I’ve had a few places tell me that these aren’t direct fit from the Euro GTI to the US GTI (I’ve got a 2018 as well). Did your stock ones just come out and these went right in their places no problem? I’m currently in the process of wanting to order a set for mine

I just scrolled through this thread to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Have you done any suspension mods yet or are you still at stock height? And are you running spacers with the wheels or no?

Any plans to go lower? Living in WI I’m torn on lowering my car any since I drive it year-round but I wanna eliminate some wheel gap and I think 19s are the way to go

Updating with some new pics with the gloss black mirror caps on. Spent 2 hours washing the car only for it to rain 12 hours later :facepalm:

I can’t get over how good the wheels look on stock suspension and gives me a moral dilemma on lowering or not

Yikes to all of that. I’ve got a buddy that’s had great luck with APR for software since getting his MK7 GLI last year, but hearing that makes me sick lol glad to hear everything is well now.

Well I figured I'd update this thread, but my time with the GTI is no more. A few weeks back I got bored and got some Carvana/Vroom offers that were pretty crazy so I decided to take advantage of it. In the end I flew out to Washington DC and picked up a leftover 2019 Ranger and drove it back to Dallas. It seems like most people go with a Taco after getting a VAG car, but to me it wasn't anything special other than their insane resale values. However, the Ranger had a better drive train (IMO) and better interior which is what won me over.

Anyways, thanks for everybody who looked and chimed in on this thread! :beer:. Hopefully I'll be back in the VAG car eventually as I want to get a B8.5 RS5 as a weekend car in a few years, but we'll see how the used market plays out on those.

Most of my parts have been sold but I do have the following remaining if anybody is interested: JB4, S2T Shift Paddles, BBS CH-R

Best of luck with the new vehicle! Have any sort of asking price in mind for the wheels? I might have someone who’d be interested but they’d have to be shipped to Milwaukee, WI
