Two Dummies
The Mt. Hood Miata Club is doing a “Spooktacular Cemetery Crawl” tomorrow, and I’m going. There are supposed to be prizes for best costume in 4 categories: male, female, couple, and car decorations. I figure I got a shot in 2 of them, male and couple.
I installed some aftermarket headlights on the GTI. They are supposed to make the front end of the car look like the newer MK8. Those running lights turn flashing yellow when they become your turn signals. Let’s just say, like with the Miata, you have to remove the front bumper. And removing the front on the GTI was leaps and bounds harder than on the Miata. I hope to write about the ordeal in the future, and it is not only just the bumper removal; the lights have a big chapter in the story as well.
I also added the OEM carpeted mats. And they look so good I almost took them back out. The rubber mats the car came with would probably be the better choice for the upcoming four months of raining every day, but they’ll stay in. If they get sloppy, I’ll buy another pair because they are a third of what I spent on the Coco Mats for the ND Miata.
