Hidden deep in a small town of Central Texas along the outskirts of Fort Hood the biggest military installation in the US. We find Nichola’s 2012 nicely modified VW GTI….

At first glance you see what looks to be a simple VW GTI, you wouldn’t think anything of it until you come up close and really start looking into it. This VW is textbook example of the time and quality that should go into putting together a car like this.
Owner, Nicholas prides himself in quality and doing things right. All modifications were carefully thought out and planned in order to bring his vision to life without taking any short cuts.
Everything from wheels to each engine mod or carbon part put on the car. Everything flows perfectly no matter what side you look at it from. Wheels are just one of the few mods that make this car stand out from the rest. Nicholas decided that a 2pc set of 18×8.5/18×9.5 Sevenk Genos wheels wrapped in a set of Nankang NS-20s to compliment those all so sexy ECS Tuning front & Rear BBKs Big Brake Conversion w/ ECS Brake lines.
Obviously this bad boy is equipped with an Air Performance air suspension kit including a v2 management, 4 gallon polished/CF Wrapped air Tank, Swoops fixed 2 degree front camber plates and White line F&R endlinks to add to that nice stance.
Accompanied by that 4 gallon tank in the trunk, he has a custom trunk setup w/ 2 Kicker CRV 10″ Subwoofers powered by a 1500 Watt Kicker amp and Red LEDs to give it a little visual taste.
Nicholas decided to give the car a nice exterior touch still keeping it functional with some legit ECS Carbon Fiber parts and a set of Custom CF eyebrows
May not seem like it but the engine bay definitely holds a big portion of his mods. Everything from simple ECS carbon fiber parts to a bunch of CTS turbo goodies. Parts like CTS Turbo intake, Turbo Catch can, throttle pipe, AWE tuning outlet pipe w/ a HPA K04 Turbo Kit accompanied by a ARM Motorsports FMIC in Trophy Gold, 034 Track density mounts and full pendulum mounts. The list goes on and on!
Yes, the interior is also fully done in a beautiful Katzkin Salsa Red Leather and a few 5d Wrapped Carbon Fiber Trim Pieces.
All in all this car is definitely a complete all around car. Nicholas made sure he checked all the boxes when putting this car together and it shows. Here are the remainder of the photos and the rest of the parts list…
