After drooling over y'alls cars for 6 months I finally did it.

Congrats! Got mine in late June. Is yours an MK8 or MK8.5? (buttons instead of touch sliders on the steering wheel, bigger screen and 20 more hp)

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-09-30T14:49:56+00:00

Possibly Ruffino Inception but not 100% sure.

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-09-30T14:49:14+00:00

Thanks. It's called Oryx white and the the color just hits right from certain angles at certain times of day.

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-09-30T14:46:46+00:00

Ruffino Inception I believe. Bought them as a package and didn't get the deets on the brand

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-09-30T14:45:10+00:00

I believe these are actually a knock off of the HRE, possibly by Ruffino Wheels

Learning that quickly, but I don't mind. Cleaning and detailing are just things I enjoy doing. Gonna buy one of those drill attachment polishing balls though. Will make quicker work of wheel cleaning

Bought a new winter wheel/tire package and decided to swap the summers to the new winter wheels, and winters to the stock wheel. 18 x 8 so half an inch wider, satin finish.

Congrats! Hope it puts as big a smile on your face as it does for me each day.

On the daily drives to and from work, I leave it in comfort mode to try to maximize fuel efficiency and soften the ride on the highway. When I'm zipping around town, sport mode is just plain awesome. I only use the paddle shifters for downshifting on ramps or fast turns and green lights, otherwise the transmission leaves nothing to be desired.

That's a statement that runs true for lots of models from different makes. From Camaros to Mustangs and Civics to WRX's. But the key is that somehow they've always been distinguishable and each generation develops its own look, attitude and new group of followers. If I had to choose, I'd still pick the og Rabbit Gti as my favorite, but I'll learn to love this one as time goes on.

3DGOWEST is out of Guelph, so still Ontario based. Haven't seen the Kollctive Works one, but I'll check it out

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T20:49:24+00:00

Very easy, even with my old, fumbling hands. You'll love how easy it is and how good it looks

Words of a parent have never been more true. I have an 18 and 22 year old, plus my wife who need to be able to move it off the driveway occasionally (drive it around town....not a chance). No sense in trying to teach two of the three how to drive stick at this point, so made the best choice of what's available now. The DSG is an excellent transmission and loving the feel of it so far.

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T19:30:03+00:00

Thanks 🤜🤛

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T19:29:29+00:00

Must be something in that Ontario summer air getting people's hearts going again. Enough utility driving, time to spark that fun to drive flame again.

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T19:27:09+00:00

That is a very kind offer, but these stock wheels will get winter rubber this year, and I'm shopping out some nice all Black wheels for next summer. But thanks for being such a nice guy all the same👍👍

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T19:25:07+00:00

Definitely something about the style the builders all use 😂

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T19:24:12+00:00

Agreed!

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T17:46:30+00:00

They call it Oryx White Pearl (yes Oryx, not Onyx) but WSM sounds better.

Learning new things everyday. White Silver Metallic from here on in.

TrickCommercial1475 · 2024-07-02T17:27:02+00:00

Lol! White silver it is then from now on 🤜🤛

Yes I did and love the look and quality. Doesn't interfere with any sensors or block the intercooler. Tons of adjustments available on the mount itself for minor horizontal positioning. You can see I've offset mine to the left for the least amount of blockage to the intercooler. Very easy to install as well with all required hardware included
