I'm thinkin about something for the car...all replicas...
Sideskirts (leaning towards R32)
A front bumper....suggestions welcome
Rear bumper...suggestions welcome
Brushed Aluminum Trim....
OR if anyone has anything lying around I might be interested in, I'd love to keep the money local...

engine..stock 12v VR6...not looking for performance...exterior, hella magic color tails, smoked, clear bumper markers, stock fender signals...I could get smoked on both of those..but I'm looking for something more...interior..I have woodgrain trim now and hate it, got rid of the shifter (gave it to jake for his stock black) and LED Gauge mod, which I wouldn't mind getting a diff gauge..

Definately do the interior, I got the center console with the cup holders and removed my dash one and put in the black plate. I got the euro golf sport knob from tmtuning, jetta vents, new gti floor mats. I've got clear bumper light, and gti fender markers from the dealership (their smoked). And I did the rear wiper delete. Got any pics of your car??

Hmmm... lots of possibilities. Allot of this boils down to personal taste so its a matter of what you like or not.
I'm not a big fan of brushed alum trim, but getting rid of the wood trim and and going gloss black could be a cool touch (and a bit different).
R32 Sideskirts... are nice, but to me the look isn't complete unless you do something to the front and rear valances (either replace or paint body color to match).
With a black car, may try to find a black headliner/trim from a 20th would be cool.
Headlights. Are those stock? Hella E-codes at a min. If do you to allot of night driving OEM HIDs are hard to beat. Expensive, but worth every penny IMHO.
W8 sunroof switch and console.
For a daily driver, the cup-holder center console that brightdub mentioned is a great idea.

Rich has some good suggestions, I'd do the W8 console, the Mk5's come with them and they're awesome. especially on mk4's with the dash cup holders like yours.

I agree with Rich on his post..mostly.
The Aluminum trim....I've loved it since I've seen it..eventually it's a must have for me.
Skirts...as far as having a stock body otherwise, I agree skirts look goofy...but I do want to get more...so eventually it will all pan out...but maybe it should be a one shot deal.
As far as the black headliner....I've done 90% of my interior black, A,B ,C pillars, headliner black, as well as sunroof cover (which needs to be redone) the only things left are the door seals...cheap...visors, and oh **** handles....which I could easily spray paint..granted I want OEM black...but they run a ridiculous price on their own mint on classifieds...
Headlights...I want Helix blacked out OEM rep projectors (with projector components, very little night driving)....they are a little above my price range right now, but I have been looking at em..rick...sell me your OEMs for a cheap price :wink:
As for the W8 and the cupholder....they are interior items, which I have no problem with the OEM curent items I have now...(the W8 especially since my sunroof isn't quite right)

I ended up saying screw the car when I got an offer to buy 2-20" Dell 2005FPW LCD monitors from a friend for $300....couldn't pass that up...one for my computer and one for my PS3...not bad when they sell for $200-400 each...

Damn kid... I got my exhaust all on today... its definitely worth it to drop loot on the car... I was gonna finish up my brakes today... but I got it all off an decided to get red caliper paint so its just sitting till tomorrow. the moniters are nice if your into computers, I used to be but now I'm into cars!

I'm into both, but 1...my computer really could have used a new monitor, and I did need something bigger for my PS3...so this worked out quite well.
