What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

[Nineeightyone]

Finally I get to drive it, brought it home after getting ceramic coated last week and immediately put it in the garage to let it cure. It's insane, water just falls off of the car now, and it's such a nice finish. Eyeballing the BFI mounts next, and starting to feel out cost for APR stage 1 and a clutch. I'm told these cars aren't awful to do the clutch on, but I'm debating if it's worth being able to go eat a burrito and come back to the job being done, rather than the labor and anxiety of doing such a large job on a car I still owe money on.

Gotya. Wonder if that would work with the IE intake if I took the tray out.

if you can still use the stock duct, it should work fine.

Come on man, you could afford to tone it down a bit in here.

I accidentally ordered the kind that uses conical instead of ball seat. Other than that all the specs are the same, so I just have to order a set of conical bolts. Easier than returning these just so I can use the same bolts I already have.

I also ordered red center caps to accent the red GTI badges.

im not even involved in your intercooler arguments. if anyone here needs to post less it's the guy who has more posts than miles on his car

Then I definitely need to step my game up. I've got 133,000 miles.

This?

I have the ECS dual air inlet and can vouch for its effectiveness. I have the aFe open intake and it's not uncommon for IAT temperatures to be 180* at a stoplight in Phoenix when it's over 110*. I can feel less loss of power since the ECS dual air inlet was installed. IAT 's come down dramatically faster now once the car is moving with less loss of power.
Not the one you linked but the dual air inlet.

well this train took a wild detour....

Toot toot. I thought I was in the Covid thread.
