Would you ever try to retrofit the GLI/SEL headlights onto your SE trim? Will definitely give it more of a GLI look from an aesthetic perspective, as you mentioned you were trying to build your own GLI with the SE trim.

@@BackyardDude I have the base model and I was thinking instead of getting a SEL or R-Line rear bumper I could just cut out that part below the sliver line of the rear bumper. I think it should work what are your thoughts???
Thanks! We have the MK7 Jetta Quad Exit Axle-Back Exhaust System - With Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser & 3.5" Black Chrome Tips by ECS Tuning. Looks like the model number is: 027365ECS01-02KT. There are a few versions with different tip colors and diffuser materials as well.
Unfortunately my SEL bumper (not SEL Premium) is the same as yours. They made the SEL Premium bumper the same as the R line bumper with the fake exhaust tips. So I’ll definitely have to rig my bumper like you guys! Also, do you guys just have a piggyback tune and the exhaust now? Or have you guys installed an aftermarket intake on the Jetta too? Love the videos and love everything you guys are doing!! Thanks!
How did you mount up the diffuser just from the bracket? Cause I’m trying to order the same thing for my car but I’m not trying to buy an r or sel bumper
Hi Aka Karma, The work we did is not spelled out in the video. Once we removed the chrome strip piece from the original (SE) bumper. We notice that the built-in snap clips on the diffuser lined up for the most part with the open slots on the bumper where the chrome piece snapped-in, but we had to make some small modifications to the slots! Then it was a matter of cutting the bumper to the shape of the diffuser, and not cutting off too much. I hope this is helpful :)
So the original rear bumper is a s bumper? You mentioned that it's actually a SE bumper? I have this exhaust and I was looking on how to fabricate my rear bumper and I have a S model. So all I need to do is make those same cuts you guys did? Also your videos are pretty funny and awesome!!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the S and SE (and SEL without the premium package) should have the same bumper design. If you cut a little less than the trim line we followed you should have a closer fit. (Try not to cut the holes holding the silver trim on as the diffuser will mount in those.) A couple places the saw crept up and we had to do a little patch work on it. Take a conservative wildman approach and you should be fine!
@@BackyardDude okay I can sure do that. Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. It's pretty helpful. Trying to get my car ready for some car shows this year and I don't want to spent 1,100 in a R line / premium bumper.
That dude is a wild man!
Oh yeah,! 😊👊🏻 I remember your old datsun….lol
@@BackyardDude Yep, that car was a sled...
Wow now it makes want to go full send with this kit from ecs tuning after watching. And thanks for making and sharing the video content
“You should see them on puzzle night’ why do I feel like this needs to be part of a blooper reel? I want to see puzzle night now 😂😂
Hammers might be involved... Sometimes the pieces just need a little encouragement!
I was in so much pain at 10:44 ...... it is "Design, Build & Stand Out" after all!
We might not Design & Build it correctly, but we will Standout! hehe....lol :)
Awesome content! Keep it up
Thank You! We will try! We are always looking for suggestion or feedback on how to improve our content! 😎

Put a heat guard near the gas tank on the opposite side of tank
How much was the rear diffuser and the axle back exhaust? I have a 21S and am working on mods for it. So far I have the AEM Intake and the JB4 Tuner.

Should have added some nice mufflers with dual spouts. Would also have made it legal in all states/ Canada.
The Tech, The Conservative, and The Wild Man walk into a garage…. 😂
And then there was gnashing of teeth, with a loud boom! hehe lol! 😂 😆😜
Alina may have a point: ‘Technical Guy, Conservative, and Wild Man walk into a garage’ - that sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke!
Or beginning of a really good funny joke!! hehe :)
I have a 2019 1.4s I would like to do this. You made it look easy and still a pain at the same time. Would you recommend
Can you link me the parts used
Can you list all the mods used so far? I have the exact car and year and would love to DIY my car using some of the mods that were used

Looking good but sounding the same...
This was a painful to watch
Hey, because we cut a good working bumper?
