Picked it up Thursday @ StrongVW. Easy transaction, no drama, in and out in 1hr including all the paper signing. Very excited to be out of my 2 door Golf and having a new project to work on, specially for the gigantic trunk and the 4 doors. I found out a kid was on the way 1 week after I got my golf, that golf was the first 2 door car of my life! I guess such is life, right?

The interior looked a lot better when i got it thursday night. They forgot to remove a blue tape that was protecting the inside lights and it gave the inside a much more refined look. I think the first cheap mod will be LED lighting.
I am concerned about the 3 front speakers and the whole air bag sensor people seemed to talk about when these first came out. Apparently adding aftermarket speakers to the doors coul interfere with the airbag system. I'll just ignore that and put a decent set of component speakers and a sub box.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now for the question: Another thing I noticed was 2 screws missing on the inside wheel well for the front passenger side wheel. The well cover is in place but not held by anything on the corner. I only noticed because I was checking out the location of the mud flaps ill be installing soon. Anyone has any IDE why those would be missing?
