Looks like you are off to a good start, but I have to ask. Is this car going to be slammed to the ground?

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 12:00 AM

No, I'm lowering it enough to kill the wheel gap and get a little better handling. I hate seeing these cars dumped to the ground. Why be like everyone else? Plus I'll be laughing when I don't have to replace suspension parts every year

JDMTyler3326 · 03-21-2010, 12:06 AM

Not bad lookin at all.

Omar_MSP · 03-21-2010, 02:30 PM

much luck, clean interior

Spoolin_TT · 03-21-2010, 02:30 PM

not bad looks very clean, to me that front conversion just looks odd on that car. It's just me though, but if you like it and can do it more power to you. Also whats your suspension plans? Just gonna drop it on some V-Maxx?

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 03:24 PM

ECS has an FK kit for like $350 that I'm looking into. I don't wanna go too low

Willdue · 03-21-2010, 04:05 PM

Remove spray tinted tails. Besides that, nice start,

Why a Getta setup? Shouldve got an R-Line jetta front

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 04:09 PM

I just personally like the Getta look. Trust me I'm removing the tint next week when I get some more free time

Da InFaMMuS 1 · 03-21-2010, 05:21 PM

looks weird to me, but i can appreciate the effort for a clean front end swap

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 05:35 PM

It's an acquired taste honestly. Some days it looks off to me and then others it looks amazing. It will look 100x better with the .:R front

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 05:38 PM

Cleaned her up a little today and fixed the front plate. Scrubbed the interior. Winter was harsh. I need to invest in Monster Mats for this thing.

ravens9322 · 03-21-2010, 05:39 PM

i cant get into gettas because JTIs look sooooooo much more sick

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 05:49 PM

The car that got my front end looks pretty sick. When we were done with the swap side by side I think he def. got the better deal but I'm happy

For all of you curious folk out there here's Aarons JTi

Willdue · 03-21-2010, 07:21 PM

The golf always gets the better deal. It can pull either off

ravens9322 · 03-21-2010, 07:26 PM

yea i would much rather see a jetta with a jetta front end but mk4's are sick in their own right... slamm the hell out of it, put some rediculously low offset lime green wheels on, flat black the entire car....

DUB LIFE lol

BTW, i wasnt being sarcastic, do the things i say haha

cupofnoodles · 03-21-2010, 08:30 PM
