Im really stoked with how the eyelids and badgeless grille look!

You're going to get hammered man.

1) Eyelids are like 2007. Trust me, go back and look.

2) Badgeless grill looks good, but it's harder to pull off on stock-ish cars. You're better off sticking to an OEM grill if you're not going to fill that hood notch.

Not trying to be a dick, just preparing you for the ass reaming that will ensue.

In before the flamage....

Not tripping bro...expected naysayers. I'm happy with it and i hav always dug the lids. Lowering it and getting vmr v710s when my tires wear out so it won't be stock for long. Lol

I like the eye lids man, Looks good! and if you like it that's all that matters. Remember, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one!

Couldn't of said it better myself.

Tr!tan!um · 08-11-2012, 10:33 AM

I like the idea of the lids, but I have a problem with how they disrupt the hood/fender gap lines. I think they could have been designed better. All in all, its not a bad setup... get a notch filler for that badgeless grill and you're set.

Tr!tan!um · 08-11-2012, 10:34 AM

Oh and take care of those amber marker lights.

Killacam · 08-11-2012, 01:03 PM

Thanks guys!

color matched side markers or tinted side markers.

Killacam · 08-11-2012, 03:48 PM

Ima tint me out at some point. Have some vht lying around from my old 4runner...

Red5pade · 08-11-2012, 05:10 PM

i dont mind the lids but fill the notch and take the gti badge off. it will look 1% of 100,000 times better

Personally I would keep the gti badge.I've been thinking about a similar setup but i would have to get the notch filled

Crispy21 · 08-11-2012, 10:15 PM

If you dont have your notch filled dont rock a badgeless grille.. It looks cheap and shitty. And a plastic notch filler looks even worse..

Killacam · 08-12-2012, 02:59 AM

I like how the badgeless looks with gti badge better. How much at a local shop to get notch filled? Rough estimates? And im tinting side markers as we speak!

Crispy21 · 08-12-2012, 03:11 AM

Ive gotten a few estimates for a notch fill. Average was 600-700. Not worth it IMO. Especially when a jetta front looks so damn good

Killacam · 08-12-2012, 03:14 AM

Yeah il go stage two instead, thanks lol!

You are one of the chosen ones- Candy White

Therefore, if you wish, you can rock clear markers with amber/yellow bulbs (like me)

The front end is busy enough- don't put parallelogrammed (it's a word because I typed it bishes) bits on there to add to the chaos. Get these:
