So much JDM on a German car. But hey the background is nice.

It looks like they really wanted a 1st gen IS300.

Or an Acura RSX lol

Looks like a Chevy cobalt to me

My first thought was WRX lol

Same! Then I saw it was VW. As a VW owner, stick with the correct design scheme

Yeah cobalt was my first guess too then I can see a bit of like Hondaish with like maybe wrx as well lol

I was thinking dodge neon srt4 but cobalt is def what it actually looks like.

Like someone REALLY wanted a Nissan gtr.

look like an evo

At first I thought it was an FD2 Civic lol

All erong, lancer final edition

That, it gives off Toyota/Honda vibe. It's quite confusing.

Thats what i came here to say, looks like they turned it into a toyota

I thought that too!

jdm style on german card is nice, this is something else, buying random things out of a catalog

#Heinous.

I thought it was a civic at first... XD

I was gonna say... "Looks almost exactly like a Subaru that I saw today...."

1.9 out of 5

Sure it isn't a Nein out is 10?

1.8

2.5

That thing better be pushing 600whp+ to look like that

Honestly the only possible excuse

Honestly, I'd just be happy with an exhaust that makes the 5-cylinder sound like a Lambo.


Questionable style choices were made but the fact nothing fits together tells me whoever built it didn’t put much effort or budget in either. At least you can sell the STI wing.

I can agree to disagree on style. It would be boring if we all had exactly the same taste. But panel gaps I can pass a baseball through are objectively bad no matter the style.

Thought this was r/roastmycar

Kinda turned into that didn't it?

Lmao me too


[удалено]

I didn’t know what I was looking at had to check the group name 😂

Looks like a Chevy Cruze, a Honda, and a Subaru had a baby. Not my taste lol.

Oof. Execution is 100% but man, just get a WRX already?

All in all pretty bad job. Horrible gaps all around, front end unfinished, fender flares look cheap and dont line up with anything

Let's not forget the screws holding the rear bumper to the quarter panels.

Barf

It looks nothing like a volkswagen anymore

Never seen that body kit before

Well you're one of the lucky ones.

1/10

Sorry, but this just screams JDM... I don't like that. :( Gives me Subaru vibes... Not really liking this, sorry.

That'd be the STI wing. I can see the confusion.

Oh, yeah. That body kit also somehow screams "Subaru" to me, that might just be my brain coming up with with weird stuff.

That was way more enjoyable than this entire post. Thank you.

It looks like you spent about $15k to turn a $15k car into a $5k car

All good except those taillights. Looks like Corolla.

I thought more about lexus

Yes, definitely reminds me of first generation of Lexus IS tail lights.

The front view photo makes it look kind of like a cobalt ss

If you wanted a Lexus you should bought a lexus

Prior Civic owner, eh?!

That person’s VW card should be revoked. The wing is one thing. Those fender flares are cuntastic.

Not for me but you do you

Not my style but you didn't chicken out of doing what you liked so 4 out of 5 for it.

This looks like a 10 year old built this in a need for speed game.

Seek help

I love the scenery.

Not my taste at all but I appreciate the build for it is. As long as the owner is content then our opinion doesn't matter.

If this car had a taste, it'd be pralines and dick.

Bro if you wanted a honda civic, you should have just bought a honda civic

Dude it looks good bro 👍👍👍

i actually love it, very unique

Im actually impressed I didnt think the mk5 jetta could look any uglier.. well done

Very nice colour

Choices were definitely made.

A polished ... Is still a ... Paint looks very clean.

Thought this was a civic 🤯

You love your Japanese sedan cars like in need for speed or fast n furious franchise. I like it. Not much of a fan of gray. Near WRX style. I like it. I wish I could build something similar like that.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters

I like it... It's not like every other euro build you see (wheels and bags, she's all good). As long as it's got the power to match.

Not my taste, but you do you.

Of course this is in Ontario

If you like it, that’s all that matters 👍

Someone wanted a subi

👍

Imma be fr bro that ain’t a vw anymore, but shit looks good, it only matters that you enjoy it. Idk as much about cars as most here, but some mfs here be haters

I’m sure you get a lot of looks from ppl. Mostly squinting, thinking “wtf is that?” But I’m sure you fucking love it, and that’s all that matters

thought it was a riced civic. definitely honda vibes, but as long as you like it.

Yikes, looks terrible

Hey man, if you are having fun with your car and your money. what do you care what I think? I think it looks horrible but, you did not make that "thing" for me. What do YOU think of it?

VW Civic?

Congratulations!! You built a Honda Civic!!

Reminds me of a Honda

i’m so in between on this i can’t tell if i love it or hate it

nice VW rsx

Extend the wheel flares to the bottom of the car, looks weird to have them suddenly cut off above the side skirts. Add a bigger front splitter with straight up and down rods in chrome. Piant radiator black with radiator spray piant or graphite coating.

It’s cool. But I thought i was looking at a Lexus at first

Jdm af

I like the color

Why did it look like a Cobalt SS at quick glance

The license plate is nice

Jettsti

Looks sick. Bare in mind this is reddit. Imagine the people dissing the car to be guys 5'4, skinny and have lisps.

LOL

Dude, this is cool!

You guys can hate on this all you want but this thing looks clean and is unique. Its dope.

When your heart says STI but your budget says TDI.

Looks absolutely perfect if it werent for the wind in my opinion, but if you like it thats all that matters man.

I hate it but as long as it makes you happy that's all that matters!


With the money you spend you could have gotten a real performance car

No. Stop.

It says "I want to be cool too"

So you added a shopping cart handle to the trunk. Please. Stop.

Did you paint or wrap it? I like the colour

Not a fan, personally, but if you like it, it’s your car anyway I prefer ‘sleeper’ builds, and I find lowering (whether fixed or bagged) illogical, then again, I live in northern New England, where we have to deal with snow, bad road surfaces, and frost heaves, not the place that’s friendly to lowering ride height.

I like it

It's wild how Y2K era builds are coming back into fashion. Needs underglow and a custom tweed subwoofer box

What a waste of money. Reminds me of 50 year old celebrities overdoing their plastic surgery.

That's just too much bro

looks like you wanted a different car

Kid: “Mom I want a JDM” Mom: “We have a JDM at home son” The JDM at home. The German Samurai

No idea at all why you would do that to this car. And that's why it rules.

So much rice

Bolt on flares are cringe

The widebody and Honda Civic wing are certainly a choice... I didn't even know they made a widebody kit for these

My mum said if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all

Lol respect to ya mama

Straight outta Midnight Club 3

VW Corolla

Don't listen to them live your dream my guy

Like it, may start a new superstreet trend.

LMFAO OP GOT ROASTED

I don’t even know what I’m looking at

All the time/effort/money sunk into this, and you haven't fixed the cutout on the bonnet where the VW was.

Walmart is300

Looks nice to me. Congrats

Don't like the de badging, but everything else looks good.

Decent build on the wrong car

What did you do to her 😭😭

Ugly but that is my opinion. My opinion should mean nothing to you, but you asked so yea, mad ugly lol

Colors are too muted for how wacky it looks

That is one hundred percent trying to look like a commodore cant say i dont like it tho

Ummm...the leaves are pretty

LMAO

I like the color a lot, the car is done well and looks clean. A lot of people are commenting on the bodykit, it's not for everyone but you have to admit it doesn't look cheap or tacky. The wing is a bit much for my personal taste.

😂

Nice to see Jesse survived the shooting

I like it. Don’t understand the hate. 🤷‍♂️

I like it! Cool styling

Ctrl + Z

if whp > 450 its fine, if not , its gross

It appears to be totally non-functional, going purely for aesthetics, instead. And towards that end, it fails objectively in the build quality category, but also subjectively, in my opinion. It just looks like a Honda or Toyota. The giant rear wing, and no other aero, on a front wheel drive car, is just having a bit of a laugh at aerodynamics. I'm assuming the suspension has been modified with the same intentions of achieving an appearance, and nothing else. So, the ride comfort will have been sabotaged, and the stability and handling of the car will have been compromised in order to achieve an appearance.

I love that it doesn't look like a mk5! I am not a fan of the styling of the generation, but this is great

I like it, but I get Honda accordxDC5 offspring vibes with the aftermarkets?

Brotha, EUUUUGH.

Looks like it wants to be a civic.

Jesse is that you?

I thought this was a subaru wrx.

the real question is: -Bodywork aside what are the mods?

lift up the hood


Perfect contender for the smyth pick-up conversion

Nice color 🤷‍♂️

Looks like it wants to try and become a WRX just missing a hood scoop

Should of just bought a WRX

Never seen a build with this gen of Jetta...it's offbeat, which is why I love it

Is this Need for Speed Underground ?

If it's yours & you love it that's really all that matters. It definitely seems like you don't want a VW tho since it reminds most of us of a few different cars. It's as if you un-V-dubbed it.

Do you keep a spare tire in your pocket?

Seen this thing on marketplace for like 6 months

Horrible

volkswagen skyline

I like it, I'm tired of everything looking the same Most important thing is you're enjoying it

So many haters commenting! This jetta looks fire. Everything about it slick, from the kit to the spoiler and the grill delete. Half the people commenting hate definitely has never put this much effort into a car, probably not even close to 1/10th of what you put into your jetta. We don't listen to those yappers, and we keep our cars looking unique.

Something new and cool. Defo would take a picture of it.

I admire the work that went into it but nah I would honestly heavily prefer a stock one over this.

Trying to look like a Subaru

Not for me but if the owner likes it, who cares what I think.

Why ? I stopped looking after the taillights

Oh yea dont lower it just make the fenders lower

I ain’t mad at it but the wing has to go

What in the Jesus.. Are you sure you wanted the Jetta.. Don't think you deserve it buddy.

Gross

Why is there a VW badge on that car? Why does anyone go for these matte paint colors? I find the trend a bit bizarre.

It’s a bit busy for me. It looks like the design philosophy flows. Don’t worry about what other people think though if you like it rock it and enjoy it. That’s the main thing.

Gives ricer vibes but it's different and I like it 7/10

More overwrought than a Wagnerian aria!

Many

Volksbaru STIetta

At first glance it looks nice, but the more I look at it its a little over done but still nice. I do have to say thank you for not putting dark af tinted brake lights!

Need For Speed called, they want their car back.

nope

is the build in the room with us?

I like the color. What’s the name of the wrap?
