    Golf/Jetta GTI Front end

    I've been thinking about adding some graphic or paint to my SSM with HFP. I was thinking about painting the front to make it look similar to how the previous generation Golf GTI looks.

    Curious what people think.

    If I do it, I may go with paint, plasti-dip or 3M vinyl...

    i say give it a shot. if you do it with plastidip it'll be much easier than paint or vinyl and if it looks lame you can just peel it off like it never happened. plus with plasti dip you're only out 6 bucks if you don't like it.

    I don't like it, unless you do it differently than madlor did it. It seems that is the thing for srt4's to do...try to look like evo's since they come stock with the black front

    My intent is to make it look more like a stock GTI. Like this car.

    I would use plastidip like someone said, that way you can peel it off if you don't like it

    It's worth trying anyways. I'll post a pic once it's done. I just need to find plastidip now....
