I saw a guy do this with it attached under the car… I like yours attached in the door. Looks cleaner.
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi mirage that I wanna do this too. Can’t hurt to try 👍
you did a killer job! definitely gonna do this to my mk4 because my skirts are mangled. awesome video
I watched your video and currently making mine for my Jetta! All I gotta do is paint it and install them. I can’t wait to put them on and thank you so much for the video/ idea!
Destiny Antuna I’m so happy to hear this is working for people :) glad you like it!
This is pretty damn crafty! Hat's off man! Looks really good, made me venture over to the gutter aisle at Lowes tonight. Did I miss it when you were listing parts on what you used for the splitters?
Mikael Fritts yeah it’s in the video, I used small plastic interior trim piece, it’s like 1” wide
Wayyy better than expected! This is sick
Wow gutter side skirts, thats really creative for sure!
Awesome work on the side skirts!!
Dam that’s looks CLEAN 🔥
Damn that looks awesome. I have done the same before, best to think outside the box.
This whole build I need help... This Jetta is what a Jetta is supposed to look like🔥🔥💯
I can’t wait to get back to building this car, it will happen soon I promise!
You did a great job very good thanks for the tip I'm going to do my Cabrio that way thanks my friend nice video
Nice work man, thats genius for how good it looks. How did you mount them underneath? More self tappers or double sided tape?
Looks epic. Think I am gonna have to try this on my bora (jetta)... Got the time to do it on lockdown atm
awesome DIY video and mod video in general. I like being able to take ordinary things and use elsewhere 💪🏻💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 keep it up and again sweet simple mods that you want and you like 👍
The 80's and 90's VW car's ruled.
Dam good job man. That’s amazing 👌
That’s awesome man!
Clean bro, subscribed
oh man.. yuor wheels are gorgeous. love the fender flares too. looks rugged but clean
Thank you sir :) she’s getting cleaned up now as we speak, videos coming soon!
So dope bro🔥
That looks really good man. This would also be a cheap fix for people with rusted rockers
Nice Jetta man
Yes. I am. And gonna make a video also.
Very creative!
You are going to rot out the metal where you are putting these screws,use some caulk. Also, put some caulk down around the leading edge where it sits on the door sil area, so it doesn’t collect moisture and debris.
Turned out great !
Great vid, with a great turn out 👌🏻 which flares are you running and what’s your wheel specs? Wanting to pretty much do this same thing on my Mk4 GTI
NEXT VIDEO: how to TÜV home made side skirts
This comment is under appreciated, this is funny as hell 😂
@@heroichitsuji these people doesnt know what TÜV at all so no wonder 😂 but they would be sooo fucked with their cars in Germany
Very aware of what TUV is, that’s why I’d rather live in the states, we get to enjoy our cars
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA well, I can relate. I wish we had the freedom with our cars like you Americans have. ✌🏽✌🏽
defenatly going to do it on my TDI good job
hey dude, good effort on the skirts, love me some DIY! i have a 3 door golf so might need to review how the skirts are secured near the back, but may i suggest to put some thin ACM (aluminium composite material) to beef of the rigidity of the skirt, may not be needed, but it's quite light and easy to install with a couple of self tappers
Harris Ang hello and thanks for watching! Honestly with how tight it sits to the body on the Jetta it doesn’t move around at all actually, I believe on the 3 door golf/GTI you would need to reinforce because you don’t have another door in the back that could open where you could put another bolt on the door sill, but maybe even some double sided tape could work very well
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA ah good to hear! i would dislike it if i had to remove it and add support features after doing the install once...
I'm gonna have a crack at doing something similar, using your vid, and using rivnuts to secure it first (so it can be removed); if that fails then some 3M VHB tape for sure!
thank you again for the upload
Clean bro, I think I may just have to do this to mine
Good job I like it
I'm glad you like it
very nice !
Definitely the side skirts looks nice.... Better than gli aftermarket ones
This is a great video I love the fender flares and your tires along with the skirts what type of tires are they bbs's nice
Sick car
Hello from Bogota
its awesome but id say color match it better by adding more clear coat
Oh yeah for sure, car will be getting painted or wrapped this coming summer anyways, so they’ll be matched unless I get some other kind of skirts
What material did you use for the splitter? Do you have the part numbers ?
Awesome
Great job! 👍🏿 def better than other skirts out there! How much lower do then sit compared to not having any skirts?
Funny enough it actually sits only like half an inch lower, maybe even less
Just so you you if you didnt...
SATIN finish is HALF gloss/ HALF flat.. I love satin finish and I really am not a fan of full gloss finishes/chrome.. man I think it looks factory No one will know you didn't fcçspend the $300 I Have a white mk4 1.8 T Jetta and I think I'm gonna do this! Great idea you super outside the box but looks soo clean.. subscribe to this dude
Appreciate the love man! I was definitely hoping it would have been a bit more satin looking, but when I get the car painted or wrapped, it will all match much better
Still relevent nice job
That was D🔥PE bro! And yes I will.
Cant tell that the splitter is a different color. Maybe the splitter's color should match the color on the rims.
Great content and was wondering what oil you use ?
Thomas Loureiro hello, thank you! I usually use mobile 1 5w30 full synthetic on all my cars, easy to find and it’s a good oil
Nice work i love your mk4. Just asking where did you bought the front lip from ?
Ebay, it’s a lip for a Honda Civic, it does not fit well, I don’t recommend it unless you can spend time making it fit a little better
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA ty a lot man
Where did you get your front lip ?
Needed for my honda. Headed to lowes today.
La Vida awesome, good luck with it! Mine are still on and not one issue
Beautiful
What I tried to do was front n back tire flares but can't find any where you get your tire flares
I can’t seem to find the video of the civic lip install. You mention at the start of the video can you link it or tell me what the video is called?
Hello, as mentioned in the video before this one, I installed the lip, but did not make a video on it, it’s not the greatest fit, so I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time, it was just a fun experiment that turned out decent, the video before this one shows it a bit better also, check it out if you’d like
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA yeah I definitely will thanks for the reply!
Can also use garden trim!
Yes you could, but I don’t like how you have to rivet it on, too many bolts on the side skirt in my opinion
So I noticed that you used the 4.5"x120'.. my question is do u think the 5.5x120 would give u that lower look to match the front like you were looking for or are the 5.5 and 4.5 measurements for the areas you don't use?
Hayden Sommers I do remember looking at both when I was at the store, and I remember for some reason the 5.5 wouldn’t work, I believe it was the shape of the side I’d need, I might drop by the store again to look, and see if I can pinpoint what I was concerned with
Need some black self tappers or sharpie them lol
Hayden Sommers for sure haha I’m planning on doing rivnuts so I can bolt and unbolt them easily
@Hayen - I watched this right before going to Lowe's for some screws and crap and decided to take a look. The 5.5 have a different side, it's got a bend on the top and bottom and slight curve to it, wouldn't really work for this look. So your memory serves you correctly Arthur!
Mikael Fritts nice! I knew there was something, and now I remember what it was
Spax Tuning , the car looks good at 20 meters !
More like 30 haha
Did you use self tapping screws to attach the splitter?
The metal rain gutter works better
I looked at those as well, but couldn’t find a metal one that was the correct shape, did you find one that actually works? I’d love to see it
I gotta do this on my passat
Nice... need the video for the front lip asap. Please
edd Garcia toxho moroxho I wasn’t considering making one, but because it’s such a cheap mod, I might have to buy another and make a diy for it
ROAD NOISE MEDIA i cant wait !! Thanks so much hope you doing it soon ... no rush but you better do it lmao ... thanks for you videos they are great
yes
Whered u get the spoiler from please tell me.
The trunk spoiler? That’s a factory spoiler, it was on the car when I got it, I’m actually going to remove it and go with something else
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA dont you have to drill holes into the trunk yourself in order to put a spoiler on? Mine dont have one, so aint i supposed to drill holes orr?
@@officialyungtwizted3858 for this specific spoiler yes you need to drill a few holes to bolt it down
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA ayyy thx
Dude i want your jetta. I got an 03 4 speed automatic 2.0 and im tryna get it to look like this.
Haha I got the same car but a wagon, might have to make some gutter side skirts as well
@@jonahmeyer1069 💯💪🏽
Give it a shot! Worse case scenario you have an extra gutter for your house haha
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA lmao
What’s your wheel and tire setup, looks good
18x10 all around, I believe tire size is 235/35/18 if I still remember correctly
Perfecto pero una es canoa de techo pero la otra pieza de plastico como se consigue
Anyone got measurements for a mk4 golf gti? 2 door
4:54 Nice
Ohreo haha
Just wondering how did you mount it on the bottom side of the rocker or did I miss it in the video ?
Justin Davenport i used self tappers at first to establish the holes, then I did nut certs to make it look more professional and to make removal and install easier later, didn’t show it in the video because I did it about a month later, you might also have to make a few brackets if you end up trimming the bottom piece of the skirt off, I left mine on since you can’t see it, and it gives you more surface to mount
What over fenders are you running?
Yo can you make one for me 😭😅 this is just perfect
Bro ur a genius.. thank you... can we all get the item number for the gutter u used.. :)
Hayden Sommers I went with “Item # 279187 Model # M0573”
Hayden Sommers from Lowe’s
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA thank you very much
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA TYVM
Previous owner jacked on the side skirt with a floor jack and crushed one side .. need something to cover it up .. so thank you again
Where you get the fender flares
Ebay
How you doing buddy I’m back got another question I wanna run by you and see how they’re holding up picked up a pair of them yesterday
The question is I noticed how thin and flexible the plastic is I have damage on mine so they will be more of a permanent install for me anyways I was thinking about using a small amount of that expanding foam spray and then install it quickly and let it dry do you think they would give it a lot more rigidness or do you think it needs it at all?
Hayden Sommers you could definitely use some foam spray, it might make the skirt move though during the expanding process of the skirt, maybe have it all installed and bolted down, then go under the car and spray it on the back side? Or maybe even use some bedliner spray or the roll on stuff on the back side, that stuff turns rock hard after it cures, just some ideas
But do keep in mind, if the piece loses its flexibility, it would be easier to crack as the body flexes over bumps and rough roads
Would you ever think about selling? I got a mk4 jetta, 2003 to be exact
JQ it will be for sale in the next month or two, but that’s gonna be after I’m done with all the plans I have for it, it’s actually getting a major mechanical overhaul and some upgrades right now, hopefully have a video out on it in the next week or so
What kind of flares are tho or what sized
How do those hold up against bumps and potholes? Do they just flex or would they crack?
Der Amerikanische havent had any issues as of yet, have done about 1000 miles with them on
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA Thank you, I'll definitely be looking into doing this! You did a killer job
Thank you! I would do it all over again if I had to haha
You screwed through the metal? Isnt that bad for corrosion/rust etc??
Yes and no, yes it’s not good, but I put touchup paint after in the holes to cover the metal, we don’t really have too much moisture where we live and the car is garaged all the time, so shouldn’t be an issue, but I’ll be cleaning it up more and adding rivnuts later on
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA ok if u say it’s holding fine shoot say less lol i live in Colorado tho but I just did a front bumper diy lip with garden edging for 3$ lol
Yeah where I’m at it’s not an issue, but I’ll be cleaning it up more and making sure it won’t rust, that would be a shame haha I’ve seen those lips, looks great on most cars
Goddamn👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Do you have a DIY on your wheel arch's?
I do not, I’m sorry, it’s pretty much like every other one on RUclips though, just measure, cut, install
whats that lip from like what year civic
2001-2003 civic coupe, it’s not the greatest fit just FYI, takes work to make fit
not gana lie man on the vid from.a certin angle it kinda looks like the diy garden edge lip but that shit is badass I did one on my celica 🤣👌🏻
I see ur wing is it after market?
It’s actually a oem wing
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA yes look oem but looks like it’s raised up lol if u get me?
Yeah I understand, but no this is the oem 2003 gli spoiler, it was on the car when I got it, I actually like it a lot
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA nice man 🤘🏻🤘🏻
How did u bolt them down at the bottom ?
Ghettoboy Harris self tappers at first, but I’m doing riv nuts before they get painted to match, you might have to make a few brackets in sort of an S shape to mount them
fender flares and wheels?
Angel Melendez if you watch some of my previous Jetta videos, the details are in there, thank you for watching!
what wheels are those??? and what specs?
Snow_Ultra xxr 557, 18x10 et19 all around, no spacers
Proper lol
it hurts my soul a little bit to see rain gutters screwed onto a GLI. Doesnt look bad. GLI just deserves better lol.
JettaMaster if it was a true 2004-2006 GLI, I definitely wouldn’t do this haha BUT if I would have never told anyone what they are, youd never be able to tell in person :)
@@ROADNOISEMEDIA Knowing it isn't a real GLI makes me feel a bit better about it haha. Either way though, it does look nice and clean. You would have to look real close to see whats actually going on there. Also, getting rid of that spoiler would clean it up (just my opinion).
JettaMaster I mean, it is a gli, but the 03 model didn’t get the factory lip kit or the gli interior, they started doing that with the 04+ models, this one has the badging, and the 6speed trans, the other vr6’s get there 5 speed
What wheels are those
Jonathan Scott xxr 557’s, 18x10 all around
yikes i have a gold one
This guy😂😂😂
