The two spots that are kinda bad.. touch up paint should take care of it though.

I soooooooooooo agree! Jettas look stupid with a golf front end! Golfs look hotttt with a jetta front end! I don't know how many people with a golf or a gti have asked me for my front end and I would never ever do it! Jettas look absolutley retarted with a golf or gti front end!!!!!!!!!

As usual my opinion is contrary to the norm but, imo gettas with a nice grille look waaaaaaaay better than jti's. That black one would look much better with different wheels.

Dude i think the JTI would look sick
and i think black rub strips would look hot if u did them right
ive seen them look good and look ghetto
guessing ur gonna keep the car silver tho?
Elliott18t
10-21-2008, 08:59 AM

I actually think the MKIV JTIs and Gettas look better than how they came from factory.

i voted no, but that's cause i have one...
lol i don't want another one being close to here
but in all reality, are you slammed? it's hard to pull off if you aren't. specially with anything other than a gli valence.
