Well, as you can see my car is pretty much stock. I would love to go nuts with mods, but the car is old and regular maintenance takes priority. I'm still learning about options for enhancing cars, and I look foward to possibly getting more into it next time around.

My car is a 92' Volkswagen Jetta 3 speed auto (an auto was the best option for me at the time, and I was lucky to find one), and I've had this car for 6 years. Its got some new dents and dings and scratches since I got it, but for the most part I think the car is in great shape for its year, and the area. I also use my car for transporting my kayaks, so inevitable wear and tear comes from loading boats and rough riverside parking lots.

I do my best to keep maintenance up to par, and I am a big detailing freak. My favorite products are Rain X for the glass, and Turtle Wax for the exterior. I also use engine and gas cleaners regularly. I use Trim Shine for the exterior plastic, and Armor All for the inside.

As for personal touches, this is what i have added:

-black front liscence plate frame

-higher visibility headlamp bulbs

-Siliblade blue silicone wipers

-Thule roof rack system with stackers and fairing

-blue/black steering wheel cover

-blue/black seat covers

-blue/black shoulder pad

-all season floor mats/trunk mat

-trunk storage box

-Euro-style mudflaps, front/rear

-stainless steel exhaust pipe tip

-Sony Xplod rear deck speakers

I actually like the hubcap design, so those stayed. I really can't see putting custom wheels on a car with such a small wheel size.

Well, this is my car. To the serious tuner it's probably a joke, but I love my car, and I'm proud of it. For a 12 year old vehicle I think it still competes well with similar new cars, and I love the way it handles in all weather conditions. I hope u like it!
