EmK3's Jetta

[EmK3]

Sup guys. Here is my 97' jetta glx. This isn't really a build; well for now at least. I figured I'd show a what i've done up until what I'm doing. I am the second owner of it and the previous owner kept it in great condition.:D

[dudebreh-low]

have you ever thought about a nardi steering wheel? a polished center and wood gain wheel would look tits :eyebrows

[apuapina]

Looks to be in mint condition. I want to see it on the bbs's already!

[bostongrnM3]

[EmK3]

They are coming soon. Sending them to get powder coated next week:alright

These r nicer than ML splits!

good work still.

you think so? i like ML splits. If not ML splits, I'm thinking about fabricating my own wheels.

have you ever thought about a nardi steering wheel? a polished center and wood gain wheel would look tits :eyebrows

Oh yes! you literally jumped in my brain and posted my idea here:D

[EmK3]

[Whiskerz]

damn i need a VR6 brake conversion so i can run 5 stud instead of this crappy 4 stud business!

i honestly think the car suited the first set of BBS but hey thats just me!

[blowntwofive]

not a fan of the mitch matched center cap but it def looks good either way

[ChristopherJason]

I like the Blue and green RS's
