    I do miss the whine my '03 had. If I found a good '06 S I'd be pretty tempted myself as well.

    Managed to get the cavernous gouge in my new RSe05 wheel (thanks to the tire installer :mad:) fixed today. Would like to say it was a total DIY, but I only did the fill. I resorted to the nice folks at East Side Body here in town to do the paint and c-coat. One day service, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Who would have known that Honda Motorcycles NH-403M Britany Silver/Effect is a perfect match for VW LSTA7T United Grey Metallic?

    Any before and after? I ended up with curb rash on 1 of mine last year due in part to a collapsing curb in Iowa City. (the other part was me.....)

    This what I did this weekend. Did not like the tan interior in the black car. Thought it would look better in the red car. And the black interior in the black car.

    Very impressive. That doesn't look like it was a simple task. I always seem to find sharp things when I'm fishing around the seat rails.

    Oh wow. That's too nice. I'd have to change a lot of priorities to get that one, keep it garaged, and not daily it. I'm not quite prepared for that. That's not to say I'm not drooling right now :drool

    Sharp things, your not wrong. My worst cut came from a piece of plastic. The most difficult part was getting the carpet out from under the heatercore on both cars. They both went back in alot easyer than they came out for whatever reason. Had fun doing it.
