[UPDATE]

Another small detail for my interior as it seems my interior is pretty boring and stock. This will also of course help me monitor my boost levels. Install wasn't too bad except for the stupid vampire clips which did not work. I didn't have my camera on me so I don't have a lot of nice pictures of the install, but I did have this new fancy thing called a Phocus for my iPhone which allows you to use lens attachments on the phone's camera (Will be posting more about this later).

Here are a few pictures from the install I was able to grab:

I am very happy with the end result, the match is spot on and is a nice little touch to spruce things up. I was able to hit ~20psi so it seems to work properly and I don't have a leaks. Looks really nice in the light...

and at night/dusk....

Looks great, it really complements the cluster nicely.

It's ironic that my boost tap exploded today.

I love NS gauge, I still think it matches the interior better than any others I've seen.

Trumpaloficus · 07-14-2012, 05:56 PM

i like all the mods done to your car.
i want to make my car into a conversion jetta.

Damn, what boost tap was it? Yeah that is why I ended up settling on it.

[UPDATE]

Decided to splurge a little recently and purchased a 3000k HID conversion for my fogs along with some 15mm spacers from 42DD to help with the lack of offset with my winter wheels. HID conversion came in today and I threw it on!

Before pictures with standard yellow Nokia halogen bulbs and OE projector fogs:

and this is the kit I bought from Ebay for $30!

and this is a side by side (Xenon passenger side, Halogen driver's side)

All installed pictures

They are BRIGHT as fuck and do the cool warm up like my headlights. The are very green on initial startup and warm to a nice yellow with a blue/green hint (not a green looking as the pictures. Passenger side has a bit of a wonky cutoff and the color is noticeably different form the other side. I think I may have gotten a bad bulb. I am going to contact the seller about replacement. Went for a drive and could not be happier with the light output though, stellar. Also might be removing my tint this week....

[UPDATE]

42DD spacers came in and my tint came off!

If anyone could make a spacer look beautiful, 42DD is the company. Too bad no one will ever see them...

and a few pictures few all three changes (fogs, spacers, and fishbowl)

RSMark5 · 12-23-2012, 04:36 PM

Love it

Elliott · 12-23-2012, 06:43 PM

I normaly like the fish bowl look but I say put the tint back on.

x2 but if your happy with it

projekt.kieru · 12-23-2012, 08:15 PM

Car looks good.

dustinwark · 01-11-2013, 03:13 PM

[UPDATE]

Treated myself to some 18x9 BBS LM barrels to replace my rear 18x8 ones. I haven't measured offset yet, but will do so very soon. Here are they before pictures:

Picked up some aircraft stripper to strip the lips, made an appointment to have the barrels powder coated, then it will be time to polish..

idk alex · 01-11-2013, 03:49 PM

Good stuff!

Sour One · 01-11-2013, 05:37 PM

I am not running bolts anymore, I did a stud conversion a while ago

projekt.kieru · 01-11-2013, 09:45 PM

Nice.

dsm1983 · 01-11-2013, 10:25 PM

Glad to see you picked up the 9" barrels!
So is your set staggered now, or 9" square?

dustinwark · 01-11-2013, 11:12 PM

Staggered, 8" front 9" rear

dsm1983 · 01-12-2013, 09:38 PM
