              Have one issue still I don't have cruise so I cannot switch the ECU off of stock mode right now. Suprisingly tho right now it still pulls really good and it's a lot of fun to drive again! I'm very happy with it once I save some money up again I will get it re flashed to be just on the 93 mode. I'm also removing the cat for a straight pipe in the next few weeks so it will have a few more things done to it before h2o hopefully

                          Just leave the hood, gives the car some personality.

                            yeah i do like the hood. I know most people like what every other vw does, but hey i like how my car is. I do think if i did my hood this winter id get more points and maybe win more at certain shows. But exactly did the car fr myself and i enjoy the hood, so for now it stays. And it has some quality work into unlike stripping the paint and letting it rust
