Dude your NBTS is brutal. One of the best looking styles Iv'e seen on a NB. Get it lowered soon. Tint the windows and put on an EIP tuning dogbone mount, and you won't ever want to quit driving this car... you'll just get in one day and drive, and drive, and drive. Can you tell I like it.

Looks incredible! Those wheels are a perfect match!

[r0nd3L]

Thanks for awesome compliments!

yelojkt, you read my mind man! My plans are to get lowered, tint, and dog bone mount. Now, I was thinking of getting VF one but I see you recommended EIP. Wow, just checked the price and it's only $99 compared to $180 for VF one. It says that it uses softer rubber than polyurethane and doesn't vibrate, but does it reduce engine movement just as well?

Just checked your bug, yelojkt, it looks amazing! How is that B&M short shifter? I wonder how different would it feel with compared with DIY cut shift rod or Diesel Geek one. For me probably it would be either those I listed cause I'm loving my stock knob

if you get a stiffer pendulum mount and a b+m shifter, you'll be in heaven.

I know, i've got a solid mount and when i put the b+m in, it shifted like it should.

I picked up my B&M short shifter at the TNBRU and I could not believe the difference. Look in the old forums under my photo thread and see what I wrote, also look up Hollywoods photo thread he loves his B&M ss too. As a matter of fact I don't know anybody who has installed one and not liked it.

Hmm, I might try that. Do I have to heat the glue to remove the lense from the light assembly, though?
