Keeping mods to a minimum while under warranty. But the windows have been tinted 35% fronts and back. Limo (not sure percentage - somewhere 75% and up). Ordered a spoiler, when it is installed, might post again here.

Sweet! Wish the TDI would have been available with the additional instrumentation, etc.... Still, the entertainment system is awesome! I got a TDI Highline, same colour - pics to follow.

My TDI Highline. Was the top before the GLI came out, but I am drawn to the drivetrain - engine/tranny combo. Without that, I probably would have went with another brand because I loved my Mk4 (written off in an accident) and not too sure about the new style - it definitely is harder to park (being 2 feet longer!). Love the DSG - my other was only a 4 speed. Had it about 2 months now - at least it still handles/drives like a drivers car!

35% tint on front side and back windows - Limo on the back sides. Learned my lesson on the back window - did my Mk4 in Limo.... Too hard backing up in the dark! Also got 3M on the front - we get a lot of gravel on the road - it's hell on the lower cars (everyone drives pickups - I was one of them until Feb). Dislike the stock mags, but unless the M&S Continentals don't handle the winter here, have no reason to change. Only other mod I am looking at for now is a lip spoiler. And lowering them here is not a good idea - the Mk4 was so low the skid pan was always scraping something (Stock!).

 
My 2011 Jetta SEL w/ Sport Package
Tempest Blue / black interior
Manual transmission (of course)...I am SO glad they brought the SEL in a m-t.

Read a lot of negative comments about the m/t in reviews. So I went with the DSG for that and another reason... Still have someone in the household that can't drive standard. Think it was a good choice. Love the way the DSG works. It is actually works best shifted like a m/t, just no clutch. And the best part - same fuel econo as the m/t
 
You tinted your Windshield?!?!?!? WTF? I hope you meant to say you did the six inch strip at the top. If not, I wanna know where you live so I can avoid you. Tinting an entire front glass is retarded, no matter how light it is, unless it is just clear film and there for extra shatter safety.
LOL... I have 15% tint all the way around and 35% tint on the front of my vw now... it doesnt do much just helps me with headlights at night seeing my eyes are weird about headlights... i've got pulled over for excessive window tint on my truck (7% all the way around and 50% front windshield) just told them about my eyes and they said ok an let me go. it doesnt do much if youre thinking that lol.
 
Special needs means she is Handicap, Not retarded, read up on that sir. I have no ill thoughts of people with handicaps, some of my best customers at my job are handicap (always have a positive outlook on life), but people that act like retards by doing stupid **** is a different story.

I do 10% tint on the sides because black interiors get really hot in the summer. I leave my front windshield clear and free except for the top strip. there is not that much in the name of street lighting around here. I have been pulled over because of my tint, and always been let go because I have no points against my record, I assure you though, that your car would be impounded if they caught you with tint on the front glass.

in my town if they see the strip across the top like youre describing its like a "HEY PULL ME OVER I HAVE ILLEGAL TINT" lol... so just tint the whole front window and its not to noticeable and really helps at night with my eyes...
 
the tint strip on the front glass is Legal here, that is what the AS1 line is for. As for tinting the whole front glass, what happens in a year or so when it starts to bubble because of the steep curvature on most front windshields? what do you do? Tow it to a shop to have redone or just drive with zero visibility? If they invented a auto glass that tints like those cool glasses, then I'd be all for it, lightens up at night, and darkens up during the day. But tinting your front windshield to me just sounds like a recipe for an accident. Especially with so many idiots who don't know how to change a headlight like most of us on here do. You know the kind, driving down the road and it looks like they have a dimmer switch installed on their low beams.
 
here is the one i bought 2 days ago and the cobalt i traded for it. going to be tinting windows, looking for rain visors, and most likely wheels when the factory tires wear out, im new here so im open to suggestions. just wanna keep it clean and simple
