What did that cost? From taking tires off, powder, remount? 1000$?
You need to sandblast too? Or just clean?

This was done is Hong Kong, $750 for the paintstripping, sandblasting, and powdercoating.
Another $105 for fixing the one lip bent.
SC7 20" Tires are $1680, 245 and 275....
I paid 2500 for everything done.

true, it will be cheaper to have it done in China. Without the tires, powdercoating could be as low as RMB$2500 (=CAD500?) in Zhuhai area.
Is Hyde still balling in China? lol

It positions the throttle pedal 15mm closer to the driver and almost level with the brake pedal, making it more comfortable for me to use. It also extends 8mm closer to the brake pedal for an overall easier heel/toe or in my case big toe/little toe.
Combined with my clutch pedal extension, all 3 pedals are where I want them to be. 10/10 would do again

I assume that's a model-specific part? My gas pedal is miles lower than my brake pedal and I hate it.

Well, most of the switches, steering wheel, and navigation screen were from the Audi parts bin, so yeah.

^ that's going to look sick with lowered springs and Pretorias (going with 18" or 19"?). The only thing are those black wheel claddings on the Alltrack. If there was a way to paint those same as body color ...

Golf R springs and Pretorias incoming... | DSG farts only happen when you are on it and upshifting. Otherwise I don't think it does anything.
Wouldn't Golf R springs be undersprung on the rear? Or you mean Golf R wagon springs from Europe?
