The Tein hood dampers are semi non functional, meaning they only act as hood props.

The stock TL hood dampers are fully functional and are able to compress and rebound.

Until i find a way to make the Teins compress and rebound, they remain as hood props.

You might not understand what i mean, but you will once you get them and start tinkering with the little guys.

So now I have the larger version muffler AND some mandrel bend piping. That means i can get rid of the small muffler and test out the new one.

Here are the pictures...

Current custom setup.
I really like the shocker sticker. I got the same one in white.

Thank you sir! I do miss it indeed...(it's not on the car at the moment)

Here's one that almost hides it due to the website logo. It was a custom two piece splitter design that allows the car to go over road debris if necessary.


I may try to have a one piece design installed once the new bumper is on the car that will look like this car. the TEIN booth car!! TEIN is pulling a jackass on me and representing their Japan based company with a Germany engineering MKV GTI.
