looks great :!:

Now that I've told you the car looks great (which it really does look nice)

Here's my critique:
Shave those bumper side markers already!!!! It just doesn't look quite right will all the shaving and then having those still on the car.

Are you doing anything with the suspension?

Ya, going 4x4ing...

j/k Greg.

Hey, can you put up a list of all the stuff you had done while it was in the shop other than pull the driver's side out of the passenger's side?

Greg337 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2005, 11:10:59 PM »

Yeah, I spoke to Pat about it today when I picked it up. Does $1,200 sound good for shaving both bumpers and vw symbol on the hatch?

*** To clarify, shaving front and rear rub strips.

Greg337 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 16, 2005, 11:13:08 PM »

I dunno, I kinna like the 4x4 mode, it's original. No, I have a deal going right now on some coilovers.

That doesn't sound too bad price wise for all that work..>BUT someone already sells OEM style bumpers for MK IV's with shaved rub strips. Can't remember who makes or sells them but they are out there. Might be worth looking into before you drop $1200 at the body shop.

Nice! Glad you finally got it back. :thumbup:

That's them :cool:

Greg337 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2005, 10:29:48 AM »

hummmm,
it won't be a 337 anymore if I get that though. And I already paid hime to fill the notch in my bumper. Decisions

Here is another couple pics I took today.

Greg337 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2005, 10:37:20 AM »

BTW, I made an apt. for next friday with Superior, there are some issues that need buffing out and the door needs adjusting.

Jesus · « **Reply #21 on:** February 17, 2005, 10:42:02 AM »

Looking good Greg :thumbup:

Personally I would NOT shave the rubstrips on the bumpers. Look at the car with the shaved bumper..it just doesn't look right to me. That's just my opinion though. Just have him fill the bumper side markers and call it a day.

Oh yeah..and remove that big ass emissions sticker from your windshield already.

greggearhead · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2005, 11:19:27 AM »

Looks good, glad she is back home.

Scott · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2005, 11:20:42 AM »

I agree with not shaving the rubstrips... you will lose some of the "line" of the car... I personally am a fan of black rubstrips (textured) but they would not look right on your car...

London · « **Reply #24 on:** February 17, 2005, 12:35:31 PM »

looks great dude. My only suggestion has already been posted, lose the sidemarkers and lower it about 4 feet. Other than that you're well on the way to pimp status..
