Thanks deb now we need to get your passat rolling out with some suspension and wheels

Vwjetta97- I painted the cover myself

Justdubit- I must say im very very happy with the eibach setup, its firm but not too firm, its still quite confortable to drive anywhere, The quality of it is very nice and adjusting it is nice since it doesnt use the spanner type wrenches and the details on the setup is very well done and it handles great!

Straz- Tsx Is a very nice car, def great for a daily driver, Interior is top notch and well layed out i thought and its soo comfortable and its has alot of nice features, Now the gli doesnt have alot of features the tsx has but im very happy with my gli. Its alot funner to drive then the tsx and dont regret getting rid of it, altho only thing i wish the gli came with was OEM HIDs.
