thanks!

I am in edmonton and unfortunelty I dont have my own equipment or access to my shop after work hours, with our company policies I think even i'll have a hard time to come in on a saturday to do mine $:-\$

some bad news, had the car almost put together today but theres some ugly pinholes on the tailgate so we're repainting it.

I gotta say that color is beautiful!

Thanks, looks very good in the sun! Gives off a purple hue that I love, once I sand the whole car down and polish it it will be the best looking wagon in Edmonton I hope

Hey for your headlights incase you were still wondering, if you put RX330 non-AFS projector bowls into your headlights, they're essentially bolt up. Really good writeup found here. Then, you'll have excellent lighting, not just good enought for most lighting. The non-AFS versions are available thru www.theretrofitsource.com except you will have to email them because they don't list them on the site.

Bought some maintenance items today to welcome her back.

Dirty COBB Air filter!

Pretty bulbs!

And a new coat to match my car!

Whats going on here? Even Damien is interested!

Zac · « **Reply #58 on:** March 10, 2011, 02:58:36 pm »

I hate amber, decided it was time to get rid of it.

AdamMc · « **Reply #59 on:** March 10, 2011, 03:37:22 pm »

I agree, amber is ugly - but that tint is really dark! Is it as dark in person as it is in the photos? The tinted parts stand out quite a bit so i find it a little distracting.

Zac · « **Reply #60 on:** March 10, 2011, 03:40:01 pm »

yes its pretty dark, suprisingsly thats only one coat with a little light coat after to touch up the spots I missed.

Yes its darker then what I originaly wanted but I like it so i'll be keeping it.

AdamMc · « **Reply #61 on:** March 10, 2011, 03:45:30 pm »

Unfortunately a lighter color/shade isn't in the cards because it has to be dark enough to cover the amber properly, eh? I could see a smoke gray tint fitting in very nicely with the color of your car! but then you'd see amber through the color.

I was waiting to see what you were tinting after those texts the other day lol. Looks good but if it were mine I think I would have made the lens solid red, that's what I am going to do with mine when/if I take the tint off.

that was another idea of mine, but this will keep me happy for now until I get some 08 tails or somehow justify spending $300-$400 on some JDM tails.

5mileimports has some JDM taillights, but they still have the amber...

I actually think I'm going to order a can right now lol

*Edit
Just read on VWvortex "Red MetalCast Annodized Paint By Duplicolor or Krylon X Metals Metallic Spray Paints" will also work

Thanks to a local member I have purchases some Prodrive rims! they are GC-05A 17x7 +48

I dont know how how much they weight but they are noticably lighter then my stockers

One of them is curbed so I need to send it out to be repaired which will happen in a couple weeks, I dont plan to put these on until May.

BradM · « **Reply #67 on:** April 09, 2011, 11:21:46 am »

Nice! all the cool leggys run prodrives...

Zac · « **Reply #68 on:** April 09, 2011, 11:54:23 am »

Do you have a set as well?

BradM · « **Reply #69 on:** April 09, 2011, 03:16:14 pm »

Ya GT1's

Zac · « **Reply #70 on:** April 09, 2011, 05:18:36 pm »

What offset are yours? I'm wondering if mine will rub once I lower it.

BradM · « **Reply #71 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:09:34 am »

They are also 48, it depends how low you want to go but I could definitely see them rubbing if you "dropped" it.

Grasp · « **Reply #72 on:** April 10, 2011, 01:00:57 am »

Zac - I believe that they were 16.5 lbs each

Can't wait to see them on the leggy!

Claw · « **Reply #73 on:** April 10, 2011, 04:05:57 pm »

Hehe, very nice wheels.

I had Prodrive PFF7's that I sold last year, they were too rare.. too risky to drive on 18s here in Edmonton .

Zac · « **Reply #74 on:** April 10, 2011, 04:22:37 pm »

I know what you mean, I'm really liking the extra sidewall on my winters right now lol
