I know what you mean. School and work make it hard for me to do anything lately. I will get you your stickers. I'm trying to find time to just mail them seeing as how i can't find time to deliver.

Yo, GMoney... I just saw your car the other day in shopping center parking lot of of Ken Karyl I think it was.... I noticed it and drove by, but then the blue calipers caught my eye and I circled back to take a closer look.

Sharp looking rig, man!

hey Eric where did you end up finding that stripping? I looked a few Home depots in the area and none of them have the more rigid stripping, just that soft crap. I wonder if the true value right around the corner from you has it.

Home Depot on HWY 7 & I-25..

It is softer than you may think, in fact its not rigid at all, its pretty much foam/rubber...the package comes in 9' and 18'... the 9' pack is enough

You know I figured that place would have it, since a friend of mine did that with his A4 and picked it up there. Everyone else has nothing

Did you use some nails? or just super sticky tape that fool all the way around?

Thanks, did you like the custom dirt. Man my car was dirty. Yep I own/manager the Wine & Spirits shop next to Safeway. She is in winter mode right now, stock wheels with blizzacks, stock exhaust. But still a champ.......Do you live in the area?........I saw centennial, but not to familiar with that area.......Feel free to stop in next time, I will get you a discount.

well I guess I joined the bandwagon on this one. Its not that bad and pretty easy and worth it IMO.

Car is in winter mode, hence the small wheels

haha for sure.

But as usual the other real true OEM+ guys on the VW side had nothing but retarded crap to say. Some people just dont have an imagination or appreciate little things.

Ha! No... I guess I missed the custom dirt. Looked pretty-well clean if you ask me, but I'm sure it looks even more flash in Summer mode.

And I don't live in that neck actually, I'm a couple miles East of I25 on Arapahoe (recent transplant from Brighton). Anyway....

I was on my way out of town up to Keystoned for the weekend, and swung by the shopping center, for some grub and condo essentials. I wish I would have known at the time that you ran the Liq, I definitely would have come in for a CMZC hook-up. I ended up blowing my cash at the liq in River Run. Probably not my best decision!
