i think the overall picture looks good, however i do have an honest question... why did you put staggered wheels/tires on a fwd? i never understood this... is there any gain in handling? or is it purely just to make your car look like a rwd?

I don't know why this is so funny to me. Mabe because people think it's really you. I should make more of those.

No gain in handling. Not to make it look rwd, but to make it look better. You put it on for the same reason you put a body kit, 2-tone paint, ect, ect. on a car. To make it look better, stand out more. Show car.

oh you answered his question already.

**AnthonyF** · 07-18-2007, 09:45 PM

too bad it got curbed. It's all fixable though.

**Humphrizzle** · 07-19-2007, 02:21 AM

he asked the same question 3 times!

**Psycho** · 07-19-2007, 03:11 AM

I've been wondering the same thing.

**Humphrizzle** · 07-19-2007, 03:47 AM

same question 4 times.. lets see how long this goes on for.

**GGPIS3** · 07-19-2007, 11:19 AM

you guys aren't very perceptive lol... take a look at the number of posts i have and the one the sn that wants to be me has.. also look at the rep bars.

do you really think a 31 year old is going to act like a 12 year old? well, sometimes, but not in this type of wack humor. you can thank psycho for this. or you can just neg rep him for wasting bandwith.

**VooDooXII** · 07-19-2007, 11:31 AM

I'm still lost on how he did that.

**GGPIS3** · 07-19-2007, 02:37 PM

i wont reveal his secrets as lame as they are.. i dont want others going around doing the same wack shit...

Need chrome trim on door handle's and grille.

Then the car will be sexy again.

I figured it'd be kept under wraps.

Got rid of all the chrome trim around the bumpers (the OEM US Spec strips had chrome) and I dont like chrome door handles. Im happy with it how it is as far as the amount of chrome goes

I like it all black...looks very sharp.

**Chuckster** · 07-19-2007, 09:23 PM

**Mr2raceworks** · 07-22-2007, 02:07 PM

Nice sewer caps

**BobbyFresco** · 07-22-2007, 07:48 PM

Those wheels are true Euro style and the OEM+ look you have going is clean and simple...Car looks great.

**esiatlanta** · 07-23-2007, 12:54 PM

Thanks

**VooDooXII** · 07-24-2007, 03:21 AM

The more I see them, the more I like them.

Wow man...I REALLY like what you've done with your car. I know my jaw would drop if I saw it in person.

That style is sort of what I had in mind for my car...though I don't want to be a biter!

Haha, keep it up man...Rollin' in Style for sure.

**SicStang03** · 07-24-2007, 04:04 AM

i would have gone with the black hp evo wheels.

**Humphrizzle** · 07-24-2007, 05:16 AM

thats a horrible suggestion..

HP wheels are ugly, HP EVO wheels are the ugliest wheels.

these were perfect for the car.

I would have too if I wanted something cheap and played out...I have yet to see these wheels on any other Passat, or any other Audi for that matter. I wanted to do something different, and I think these work perfectly for what I was going for.

**AnthonyF** · 07-26-2007, 10:48 AM

well...if your going to go slow...might as well do it in style.

saw them at Malibu and they looked great! they give that high class benz style.....or even that Audi fron VW rear high class style!

True...I don't think I've ever seen these wheels before.

Im debating plans for the motor. On one hand I dont know if I want to go BT seeing as the car is a FWD and that just seems kinda worthless. The other part of me just wants to throw at GT2871R on there and have some fun with it...

**The Joker** · 07-27-2007, 10:37 AM

car looks real clean. nice ride.

**carbongs** · 07-27-2007, 05:06 PM

GT2871R all the way bro!

**lsxtreme** · 08-02-2007, 08:03 PM

wat kind of car ish dat..?

**rollininstyle2004** · 08-03-2007, 12:57 AM

VW Passat

**veritekracer** · 08-03-2007, 02:49 PM

I'm late on this, but you're definitely steppin it up Jordan!!! Love the classy look!!! First time I saw your car, I thought it was an Audi from afar. Testament to your modding tastes. Keep up the great work.
