Got a bunch of little things done for my car.
Jetta fog light inserts
Clear sidemarkers with amber bulbs
Stubby antenna
stock side skirts and front and rear valance painted to match the car.
(Car is really dirty, especially the hatch. Have mercy please :) )

lol BrandEn... it's pretty easy. Take them off, scuff em, and take em to a shop to paint em :) Pick em up, pay, and put em back on. Not a whole lot more to it than that :) I can get him the hook up if he brings em up here :)

Aye, it's color matched paint. But the plastic is textured and I forgot to tell the guy I wanted em smoothed. Oh well. My bad. Still looks hella better than before. Doesn't help that the car is dirty as hell too :P
Thanks for the comments guys :)

Yeah I didn't have the mounting screws on yet, it tucks the bottom of the bumper up and in quite a bit. And makes it so the line from the left of the exhaust continues on the same level on the right side of the exhaust.

Well good luck on any future deployments. I was with 3/1 and did two tours over in the sandbox...Operation Phantom Fury, and Haditha....if you remember...the sniper that killed the guy in the mosque that made the news while we were in the city, he was one of our scout snipers..and the " Haditha Massacre"....yeah that was us too....lol, damn news people. Only the shitty stuff makes the news....anyways not to thread jack, GREAT CAR and have a great deployment....oh and if you are going to Al-Asad enjoy! everytime we would go there to refuel and refit, we would see all the army guys patrolling INSIDE the firm base, and swimming in the pool, and playing soccer...so you wingers will have the life...lets not forget MidRats!

looks good, have you thought about keeping the white bumper lights in rather than the ambers? I thought it looked nicer on my white gti.

Ah but see, I'm nondeployable come April, as I'm PCSing to Yuma to H&HS squadron as an auxiliary "shop" (I'm the only one in the shop, they need one NCO of my MOS there to work on gear that comes in while squadrons are there on WTI) so I won't be seeing the sandbox anytime soon. Thanks for the heads up though!

Yuma huh? Man talk about nothing to do....we used to go out there to do mortar shoots (81s) and CAS training. I was with CAAT (Combined Anti Armor Team),and 81s Plt. I also did some FAC while in....ill tell you what, nothing is as bad as watching anything come in hot and dump whatever it has onto a target wether it be an F18, Huey, Cobra, or a KC130...and its always fun watching the older pilots versus the boot pilots....

Nothing to do? I'm from Phoenix :) 2 hour drive to home. And my family spends every weekend from October till May at Glamis sand dunes (bout 15 minutes from Yuma) And the GF is in Prescott. Plenty to do hehe. And that sounds like fuckin fun, I always wanted to do some crosstraining into ground side. My 4th of July a couple years back was in a FEX, Cobras were doing a night exercise right overhead, tracers down range and rockets. Was really cool, best fireworks display I've ever seen.

well damn never mind.....yeah Glamis is the shit, been there a couple of times, I was stationed aboard Cmp Pedleton..West Coast is sooo much better..I mean you cant beat living in orange county, a block away from world reknown surf, microbreweries on the beach, 1 1/2 hours from LA, 45mins to Mexico, (vegas is do-able in a 96 now 102 libo)...and you can do soo much to your car its crazy! But good luck on the move there and enjoy your time. Ground side is def where its at though ;)
