$185, grr. Still not bad considering it's $360 brand new. I could've got a 14807 for $140 but they're about an inch too wide and I didn't feel like trimming by lower valance.

Pretty stoked to have a better sound and no exhaust leak!

Thought about that, but it looks like someone took regular white bulbs and spray painted them orange, because the paint is peeling on the ones in my lights right now lol. incidentally, the bulbs i ordered are 3156's. Seems to be Toyotas and other jap cars use those, so if anyone wants them they're yours for free

Gonna pick up a new set of orange bulbs from AutoZone this weekend and try my hand at shooting them silver.

Kraut your car sounds sick, pretty sure thats the first time i've ever seen it without 9 feet of snow on top of it

Today I drove my B5 a little faster than I should have on still crappy roads because I was running late, but the quattro did it's thing, and I made it on time...

I again resisted the urge to do donuts in the open parking lot at work...

I had that problem too, I had both sides of my car jacked up and I trapped an open-ended wrench between 2 lug bolts on the opposite side and propped it up against a big block of wood, it held perfectly and I was pressing the joint off with the axle still connected using the axle bolt.

Not sure whether to give you props for your self control, or ask you why you wouldnt take that oppurtunity!
