I agree 100% altho I say go take the parts now before he estimates it! It is
your car! Take the parts off now! If you need parts/help I am in PA and
would love to take my new Scirocco for a spin to maryland. I have at least 1
of everything you could have swapped. I will give it to you for pennies (how
bout a buck a part of less no matter what you want) compaired to what your
aftermarket stuff cost you. I say this DO NOT LEAVE THIS STUFF ON THE CAR! I
demand (hehe) you take it off. If you do not want to do it and are afraid
you will ruin the value gimme your insurnace esimaters name....he looks like
he needs another case of beer :)

If you need help e-mail me...if you don't have a ride to the car e-mail me.
I know right where your school is I can be there in less than 2 hours :)
Seriously they are your parts...get em....wooooooo....and thats the bottom
line......
