    ^agreed, that car looks fantastic. Keep in mind that is one of the little more rare hatchbacks! Is your interior black?

    Looks great. Just curious about your wheels. Do you have trim rings on them or are the wheels designed by the manufacturer to look like that? Is the black part an after-market/custom wheel or the standard steel wheel that's been cleaned up and painted?

    Since then, I have taken the paint off my rims and polished them, and I found a front lip from a 1997 jetta that fits on my hatch.
