Nice pics did you get a front bumper or just the lip?

Just the Lip.....The lip is easy to toss on and has the same basic feel/look for 1/2 the cost. I didn't have the cash to get the full front bumper.....we, do what we can

[uncle dude]

I like following your mods because you always post great pictures and take the time to document everything - so thanks.

[kylmos]

i think reiger is the best kit..its half the price of the Oett kit looks the same only difference is the Oett is a full replacement bumper..that means more to pay when you wreck your car or have to replace it...it costs like 2500 where as the reiger is like 1100-1400..looks so kick ass scans no I know what it will look like..been waiting for this

[imported_electric flesh]

Awesome. I wanna see what this looks like when it's done.

[scans007]

Well I've had a ton go'n on and haven't had much time for anything.......but I finally got the bumper and exahust on....front lip is still in the box tough

I only have a few pics right now, but have a bunch of the install I can put up once I upload them to my server.







I hope to get to the front lip and stuff soon....

[kryptonkid07]

Looks awesome! I wish I had a steady job to be able to do things to my car... hopefully by next month I'll be making enough and you guys will see my car flourish.

Scans, i hope my e-mail persuaded you to put the pictures! haha. I would come across one of your posts and think... I wonder what happened to that back bumper.

Sweet man, I'd love to know the fix - just cuz......500 + miles so far and no cel, I was at the dealer today and they were in aww. I love having a mod friendly dealer.

[TOE_FAST]

Whats the fix?...SHARE man SHARE

What kind of gains have you found with the GHL? hows it sound? cause it looks fantastic!!!

The sounds I love, its a deep mean growl. It's just borderline on too loud for me, so it's just under the radar. It is def the most loud in 5th and 6th in wot. I'm gonna dyno it soon. Everyone that sees it loves it. I went to visit my parents and my mom got in, she didn't even notice a diff in sound, but then again she's a lil loopy :P

Then hush hush, I'm testing a GHL prototype Air Intake and then another dyno for them to show gains of their intake and exhaust so that'll be fun.

Hopefully I'll get that other stuff on, button up my stereo install, and get my DV installed then chip me baby.

Well Ironically, I let my gal take my car, and I took hers to change the oil today, she calls me and says "a light is on"

How can I contact you for the fix, we can't PM here, and your email is hidden =)

[TOE_FAST]

DOHHHHHHH

Please post the fix here so those of us planning to buy the GHL can also take advantage of the info.

Scans, other than the light that just came on, any issues with the exhaust or apron? did it install easily?

Any idea about HP gains over the stock exhaust or is it just better sound?

[22350]

Sorry it took so long....I missed your posts guys...my bad!

Here you go:

[TOE_FAST]

AWESOME - Thank you

[GTI_2007RED]

hey scans.. with ur Rear bumper skirt just on... how much lower is it than the stock on with only one exhaust output??...does it line up alright without the rieger side skirts- just the oem ones .. ??

[TOE_FAST]

Yea, good question ... could save some bucks and tidy up the rear nicely if ya didnt have to drop the dough on the full kit.

Although the Rieger side pieces look pretty trick in my opinion, think it would be worth the extra bread to get the whole thing and GHL turbo back quad tp exhaust ....its only money

[GTI_2007RED]

yea i know .. but my only plans are putting the ghl full exhaust on with the Rieger back skirt.. and then painting just the Oem sideskirts and lip...New Jersey ROADS= No body kit for me lol....i'll tear it off or sumthing will break i know it!!....lol.. paint the oem sides and lip- Rieger back skirt+ghl exhaust and lower it with coilovers...... yea it is just MONEY..lol

[scans007]

Yeah, I thought it was gonna look so funny with just the rear skirt installed. So yes I just got the rear skirt. But it actually looks good. The diff in height vs. the front and side skirts is only about 1.5 inches. I think it will look more off when I stick the front lip on. The rear apron wasn't hard complicated wise, but it was hard PITA wise. A lot of dremel test fit, dremel test fit...you get the picture. I still haven't got it completely flush, nor have i put on the brackets, but two weeks and it hasn't moved. I plan to get side skirts eventually just didn't have the time quite yet........

I'm gonna try and slap the front lip on now while the wife is out with her mom

[TOE_FAST]

Man... i am glad i live in Vegas, the only drawback we have here is HEAT! roads are mostly all perfect, speedbumps arent really treacherous like i have seen in other parts of the country and we have no bugs to clean off the hood...or inches of snow to contend with.

I wanna get the full kit and exhaust... and so much more, but 3 kids take priority, its only money unless you have 3 other lives depending on you LOL

good luck on the project, dont forget to take pics and post up

Yeah you are spoiled........=)

So, yesterday I was driving and the CEL just turned off........LOL Very strange, I'll see how it adjusts. Maybe the dealer reset everything when it was in for service, cuz the cel popped on just after that........now maybe the ECU's adjusted. Who knows, I'll wait and find out.

As for HP gains....wouldn't say a ton, it did make my shifts smoother. If I were to guess with my knowleged base, I'd say a gain of 4 - 7 HP (minimal) I will be dyno'n her soon with the exhaust within the next few weeks. Then putting on the GHL CAI, dyno again.......then GHL maps (chip it) and dyno again....I wish I had gotten one before I put the exhaust on...

(didn't get a chance to get the front lip on.... )

[GTI_2007RED]

did it look stupid just putting the back apron on and leaving everything else stock?.... cuz thats what i want to do...just paint the side skirts and the lip... thanx

Yeah, a bunch of us thought it was gonna look so/so with just the rear apron until I got the rest of the kit on. But we all agreed that it actually looked pretty good from the profile and wasn't all that noticeable unless pointed out. The rear apron is 1.5 - 2 inches lower then the rest of the stuff.

[GTI_2007RED]

thannx man
