Not a fan of the front spoiler, but love the work on your interior, especially the map light. Respray looks top notch.
Whats your plans for the carpet?

The map light assy was made from a typ van overhead light unit.
The ipod receptable is a simple foam-filled wire mesh frame wired to the radio. Will add a few pics of the shallow subwoofer assy that will be installed on the floor at the passenger feet location with protective railings as a footrest. I installed 1/4 inch thk sound proffing about the firewall, flooring and on the engine cover - makes a big difference. Also, will post a few pics of the VW EMPI muffler assy that will be modified and installed. (Previously, I modified the stock muffler into dual tips but now I can't fit a rear strut stabilizer bar)

Knowing nothing about sound system wiring, had an extra FM transmitter cable. The new speakers, amp and sub will not be high-end, so I'll never note the difference from the FM sender from the direct wire method.

A funny thing, the driving lights are only installed with earth magnets - super strong - no holes and no flickering when driving. The remote control light kit was the same as the non-remote control kit. Bought the remote kit and hard wired the lights ti the OEM wiring. Now I will hook-up the remote transmitter and reciever to the heat pads I had installed in the seats under the upholstery. Should be nice this winter when the temps drop to 50F.
