Congrats, again Muffin. I think it needs a little more low and some smoked or blacked out headlights.

Nice muffin! Those wheels look great! Are the seats any different then the ones in the black rabbits? Does this one have the iPod hookup?

Thanks for all the kind words! I am loving everything about it so far. Working on some vag-com changes. Also bought a euro switch and pre painted eye lids to make it different then other rabbit's. Also contacted H+R and they are sending me new rear springs so it's not so high in the back.

The iPod hookup actually is in the center armrest area. All MKVs come with aux inputs in the glovebox.

Sweet ride Brandon, I'm assuming you still have the Helios too?

Right, but since it comes with the aux. input, you just need a $5 cord from Radioshack to plug your Ipod in. The wife tried to get the Ipod kit installed, but the tards at the dealership couldn't figure it out.

Yes, he still has the helios.
