idk how many of you guys are into modiding out your cars, but i just thought id ask your opinion on what you think looks better...

one is black chroms and tho other is matte black.. kind of hard to picture, but ill try and find a pic of someone elses car with them on

youve gotta be kidding on teh ledvs chip part right?

unless youre self tuning which is very possible with many cars, idk about his since its so new.
btu those leds might cost $10 a stip, max of 10 strips... ecus are well over $200 to get tuned.

but yes, if youre gonna tune/add more than an intake/exhaust, manual is def teh best way to go to get max performance out of your car.

i like this look a lot... but this is either a phaeton or a previous generation passat. if you can find this one for yours it would be sick though.

I'm not sure what generation it is, but I definitely like the billet aluminum look. I've got one on my car. Just search the year of your vehicle and "billet grill" and you should find one for your year/make/model.

i'd say the first one, cuz itd look more murdered out

and the chrome one looks a lot like the one you already have, so i doubt anyone would really notice the difference unless they knew a lot about that car or were looking for it.
