I know the northstar would fit, ive seen one in a Jetta. If there was a little more aftermarket support for nice goodies i may have.

Completely off topic for a real quick second...Assuming you could find real RacingHarts, how much do a set of C2s run now a days?

I personally don't want them, but I hear so much about real racingharts (I'm assuming because like every other rim they have knockoffs and the RH brand as well) that I just need to know

You get a lot of double-takes on the street? And do they light up when locking/unlocking?

yea, i went to the acura dealer to get a new tensioner and 2 salesmen were staring at it (i think they were actually so dumb they couldnt figure it out). I have had a few others do a double take.

The LED, no. The parking lights yes.

Definitely creative, but the way I see it, it's the equivalent to an upside down A badge, you think you're cool when you do it and then you look like a ricer/douche

walking thru the junkyard, came across a great find. Here is just a pic of the front doors, but i got the whole interior minus the drivers seat and dash (airbag blew and destroyed the leather) for 100 bucks. Now i will have black interior with the Blackwood trim

Some of the door panels taken apart. Had to drill out the plastic rivets, but its not hard. Just need some epoxy to bond the panels back together.
