Back story.
Picked this car up last winter drove it pretty much as I got it until, someone turned into me on i75 roughly two months ago.
At the time, the car had stuff done to it.
I picked this up as a daily, its a 96 TSi auto fwd. Mostly stock with just a few little things done.
Day one, its been sitting in that spot for 4-5 years.
We threw a battery in it, and it fired right up!
Upgrade time!
I took out the stock head unit and 1997 CD changer goodies and replaced them with a temporary double din.
Next up was to ditch all the stock speakers. Which all worked great and were as clear as could be for junk paper coned OEM things. MTX 6x9s went into the rear, Polk 6.5s went up front.
It got its first wash in 4/5 years.
Then I replaced the air filter from 1997!! Weapon R!!!!!!! That nifty adapter did not work so, its just sitting in the parts box waiting for a use.
Then came the tint, 15% on all the windows and 50% on the windshield.
I couldn't stand the lame sunroof that was in the car so, I took care of its transparency issues.
Before:
After:
The clear spots have since been fixed.
I had to add the anti-hellflush/stance sticker.
Also, got rid of the ghetto thumper Alpine Type R and 5 channel Alphasonik amp for a space saving set up. The wiring has since been cleaned up.

Shortly followed by something to have some fun with.
Hellafunctionalflush will be had now.
