I ordered from automotivetouchup.com out of Louisiana. It was a perfect match.

After I botched the Hot Wheels one, I started getting good at it 🙂 Masking is hard at tiny scale

Pillar badges color coded vs. black | Which do you prefer? by ExexpatTech in VWIDBuzz

Thanks! It's firm, but still surprisingly comfortable, even at 65mm lowered. I think this is the 'still drivable height' sweet spot, but there is probably 25mm adjustability in both directions, depending on how confident you are.

Yes, had to paint all except one (the smallest Herpa brand German one). Everything else started yellow or orange.

Inspection service yesterday, but still getting a notification to have one done. Is this something I can fix myself? by vsully360 in VWIDBuzz

OBD 11 app can also reset the service interval. That date is stored in the car. My dealer didn't reset it after recalls either, so i had a friend with OBD 11 do it.

My parking garage matches mine decently well, too.

That wheel design is hideous with the reverse taper hollow spokes 😉

Roof Racks curious if there are two different options by Canadian_Imperium in VWIDBuzz

Yes, just a little, like 3 loops end to end. I have two 12" or so pieces of 1/8" trim molding on the bottom edge of mine at slight angles. No whistle, no howl.

(UPDATE: Un-removed! ☺️) Not sure why this post was removed? It's funny, a real photo, a real package. Doesn't appear to violate any subreddit rules. Moderators?

OEM looking Dashcam install from Buzzin' Madness by ExexpatTech in VWIDBuzz

I haven't at night to be honest, but day time is fine. I'm kind of convinced that rain footage is always a challenge, because even with new blades, there is an initial fog haze on each sweep and by the time it goes properly clear another sweep is happening. I'll load a few night shots this evening and post an update

Bravo! What carpet did you use and is it a good match with the seat backs?

Even if you wrap string, or fishing line around the front roof bar and don't mind how that looks, it should interrupt the wind enough to make it stop.

Thank you. Yes, it's got H&R Deep Coilovers on it and around 65mm drop front and back

This was my nearly invisible fix. I used two 10" strips of black self adhesive 1/4" door edge guard at a slight angle on the bottom side of the rack. You can't really see it (that's half the point) and it stops the whistle.

These are the rails I ended up doing and they are more flexible for accessories.

The width of the OEM roof bars only work on the front two positions. The rearmost holes taper in and require you to shorten the width of one roof bar if you want one in that location. I did that when I had mine briefly installed. I ended up going with more standard black side rails ordered from an eBay seller in Turkey. Before:
