so, I am going to trade in my 2012 Jetta TDI and get a 13 JSW with sunroof no nav/ automatic

question, i want to put factory fogs.

the rear spoiler, is it a DIY pro project ?

and the splash guards can be done at home also?

That's quite rude! One could say the Toyota listed in your vehicle line up is a waste of money... If you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself.....

As for the fog lights. You can add them check out ecs tuning or oem plus, they both have kits avail.. From what I can see there are 2 methods of installation, one using a relay and the other using the highline cem which will allot them to be used on vehicle that have them in the factory.

I dont know much about the rear spoiler, I dont think ive seen pictures of one installed.

Good Luck on your upgrades!

Ohh... Splash guards are an easy install too!

Waist of money?

The mudflaps are easy, but only easy with the wheels removed.

i assume he meant that with regards to turning in a car that was barely a year old, youre standing to lose quite a bit in the transaction.

If thats the case it should have been said that way.. Came off a little snarly.

In any case, all depends on what his perception is on a waste of money and/or what he bought his 12 for and what the 13 is going to cost him. I purchased a left over 2011 Golf TDI then 6 Months later sold it and bought a 13 JSW TDI with Pano for only a little extra out of my pocket.

the high resale values of the TDIs definitely dont hurt in that sense

Can you get a '13 with sunroof and no nav? You couldn't do that with a '12, you had to get both.

That's what I was going to do, the dealership said they'd swap out the stereo for me. Ended up just forgoing the sun roof as it seems like an awfully large structural gap to me. Just didn't feel safe. Fogs are running about 1000 from dealership installed, but I'm sure that's negotiable.

double post.. sorry, my internet is wonky sometimes.

Nah, I got the 12 with sunroof and no nav. It was on the dealer's lot, too.

I did not know that.

Oh wait, maybe it was that you could get the sunroof without the nav but you couldn't get the nav without the sunroof?

Oh well.

I got a '12 with the sunroof and no nav, too, but I ordered mine. And, perhaps it was a waste of money to some, I had them put fog lights on my car (I am not mechanically inclined at all, and after the nail gun incident of '02, I'm not allowed near power tools). I drive through the swamps of Louisiana, and it can get real foggy real quick. And those lights do make a difference...

It took about 6 weeks for my car to come in...

Yeah, I think that's it. If you get nav, you get the sunroof whether you want it or not.

When I bought the 2012 JSW it was all or nothing. Even vw USA site didnt show it... Huh.... But on the other note: I did an oem fog light kit from ecs much cheaper than the dealer.. Took about an hour to do. The hardest part is passing the wire threw the firewall to the harnes to the euro switch. I think I was in it for 495$ aftermarket is much cheaper but wanted oem.
