The gauge rings is cheap mod that really improve the look of the gauge cluster. Good job. What's the next plan for the X?
Pic of the Z33?

I like them. I also tried the pixel "fix" using electronic cleaner. Didn't work.

Everything.

Then I undid it all.

It was a daily and I was pissed when I curbed them. I'd have been suicidal if I curbed 3500.00 Volks.

Thanks.

First real mod arrived.

We have the only house in America (I believe) where every package is inspected by a bomb sniffing dog.



No bomb.





Guess I shook. Pandora station list.





Have to prove the brake is on.



iPhone integration.



Couldn't take pictures of the apps because I broke my Canon and you can't use the iPhone camera & be in an app at the same time.

Dumb question, but I did rings and a carbon fiber overlay in my 7's cluster and for the life of me I couldn't get them inside without bending them, so I actually cut the plastic face off the front of the cluster. How'd you get the rings in?
