Its at $4844 right now, but there are a few things that need to be added to that cost. I am guessing around $6000 when its done.

olletsocmit · 05-02-2011, 08:12 PM

Ok, the car is all back together. It was fixed with 100% VW parts. Got a whole new front end and got the entire car repainted at VW. My car is MINT, looks brand new.

I also traded my H&R coils for a set of Ksport Pro's. I am going to put them on this week.

I picked up a few other things i will post pics of later. I do not have any new pics of my car, ill take some this week.

olletsocmit · 05-08-2011, 03:13 PM

THe new coils are installed! I just need to roll the rear fenders more so a can get lower. I will post pics when everything is done.

You went from h&r to ksport? Sounds like a downgrade.

My thoughts exactly.

olletsocmit · 06-03-2011, 02:08 PM

I like how the Ksports ride a lot better. Much better ride in my opinion. I also love the front camber plates on the Ksports.

I am currently getting my front bumper hshaved by a friend in CT. The Rabbit got some boost...

olletsocmit · 09-25-2011, 09:25 PM

I just got back from H20! It was amazing! The VW scene was AMAZING this weekend in Ocean City MD.

stover · 09-25-2011, 11:30 PM

02vwgolf · 09-26-2011, 08:45 AM

Wait when did you end up boosting this? thats awesome and i agree h20 was amazing as usual!

c7scayman · 09-26-2011, 09:09 AM

Nice Rabbit. I almost bought a 09 black one with 13,000 miles and a rebuilt title for $9500. Ended up buying a clean titled Porsche for $200 more. I wanted to go to H2O so bad but I couldn't make it. Where are all the H20 pics? No one is posting any up.

kidcaffeine · 09-26-2011, 09:20 AM

nice job so clean n simp0000le.. but why you trade h&rs coilover for ksports?

I was there yesterday. I went to the Car Lounge section and only saw maybe 15 pics. I guess I was just looking in the wrong place. Not very familiar with vwvortex since I have not visited it in years.

Here is where you want to be looking: http://forums.vwvortex.com/forumdisp...rnational-2011

Its hard to explain in words how amazing H20 was. If you thought the sonic meet was big this year.... imagine that x100! no joke. H20 basically took up the entire island of Ocean City MD. It was totally out of control. Easily 10,000+ cars there for the weekend cruising up and down the strip!!

I traded my H&R Coils for Ksports b/c the ksports have more adjustability and they also have built in camber plates. I'm kinda regret it now since the ride of the ksports in not as good as my H&R coils was. My Ksport coils are currently for sale

I am going to be picking up a set of B&G RS2 Coils next month.. Here is a pic of them for ppl who dont know about them:

Thanks for all the kind words guys, there are def still some good guys on this forum. I have a full OEM Votex lip kit that will be going on soon too. Its the front lip, sides, and rear bumper

I am looking for someone to shoot my car asap before i roll my fenders and slam it.

olletsocmit · 09-28-2011, 05:42 AM

So... whats next? I am not sure exactly. I want to do the following, just not sure in what order, what do you guys think??

I met a guy thru vwvortex (and @ H20) that makes custom sub boxes and this is what he thought of:

...or

Getting the B&G RS2 Coilovers i was talking about in the above post:

...or

Shaving my front bumper & notching the hood (would look like the pic below):

02vwgolf · 09-28-2011, 05:37 PM

shave front end first then do coils, the sub is easy enough to do and cheaper then the other options
