Looks great lowered, add some clear corners and foglight mod to give her the euro look!

*** that euro noise.euro=yellow fogs.imo. it should be called the "american" ... but yes i agree, clear fogs and side-markers would look good with the stock wheels



op, great stance.. how do you like the QA1.. what settings are you running?

Thanks guys. I really don't plan on doing any mods at this point, I just want to enjoy driving the car. My last car spent too much time sitting & getting modded instead of being enjoyed.

On another note, I already learned my IRS lesson last night. Stabbed it hard in first gear, hopped pretty bad, & then....... BANG!!!!! Clank, clank, clank, clunk!!!! Snapped a halfsahft I think? The car has the 3rd gen diff, cradle bushings, & the Hendrix anti hop axle, & there is no gear oil leaking, so I'm hoping its the passenger side because my buddy has an extra brand new oem axle...

Great captures man - what are you shooting with?

That sucks about the rear end.

What's a 3rd gen diff?

04-05 Gen 1
06-07 Gen 1.5?

Thanks. I'm shooting with a D40 with the stock lense.

Excuse my ignorance, Im still new to the V's, but my buddy that sold me the car said the diff was the 3rd version to come out.

Beautiful car, great stance, excellent photography, sorry to hear about the rear end, but I heard that the third revision rear end fixed everything. I do agree with the comment about the clear fogs and side markers, they would make a great stealth mod. One of those where people look and remark, "something is different about that car, just can't put my finger on it".
