Quote: nice build so far. really like your chose of mods! just curious where did u get the glove box with the sliver tirm? interested in also upgrading the subtle interior
Thanks! You can get the glovebox from the dealer or sewell but they're rather pricey ($400+ I think?) just keep your eyes open for a used one

Quote: Its coming out really nice man! Your jetta looks CLEEAAAN. Very nice build, can't wait to see wheels!
Quote: Can't wait to see those wheels done!
Ugh you're telling me. Finally have some motivation to stop being lazy and get them done! (Other tires are going bald hhahaha )

New stuff arrived, looks like they'll fit as I hoped.


"Shaved" mirrors haha I love subtle OEM mods

I know a lot of 06-08 owners will question why since their cars all came without mirror signals, and like to add the jdm ones..
Since the 09s came with them stock I would prefer ditching the excess chrome and added busyness of the signal mirrors for a cleaner subtle overall look

Are you going to sell your stock mirrors?

I'm just replacing the caps, but will be keeping the stockers. I keep all stock parts just in case

Finally got a chance to wash the car, installed some more black trim and placed a new order for Sewell.

Still slacking on the wheels though haha

Thanks!

Had time over the weekend to finally wash the car and start installing some black trim (more is on the way)



Also my friend tried pulling the tires off the wheels on Sunday but ended up breaking their tire machine :/

Been debating putting these in. I have had them for a few years now and haven't done anything with them. Is it worth losing ventilated heated memory seats for some Porsche seats? I just dunno. If I could find a way to wire up the air bag and the memory functions I could probably live happily without the heated/cooled features
