Adjustment can be difficult - even for a stock hood. Unfortunately, my
experience with aftermarket hoods has been bad (insurance
"settlement").

If you are on the west coast, there's a good chance you might find a
good used one.

I like the TT system, but I don't like the muffler that came with my
last one. Maybe the TT system with a Bora muffler? Talk to Potterman .

  While I'm at it, any

I love H&R springs. I've had Eibach, which are not done right for the
MK1. I've heard nothing but good things about Neuspeed as well. HOR
tech are HORrible from all I've heard. Stay away from Suspension
Techniques . . .
