Very nice! I like jettas! The black color helps!

Is that a factory grill?

It is an aftermarket grill, but it comes stock in the hybrid jettas I got the grill on e bay 125$ cdn it has improved my mpg about 3-4% just by adding the upper grill . Getting a black car was a must the black hood keeps the engine hotter longer in the winter

I really think that ecomods don't have to look tacky. This is probably a prime example. If anything I prefer the gloss black grill to the original chromed cadillac wanna be thing.

Also, how do you keep a snow car so spotless? Do they just not use salt there?

I fully agree when an eco-mod looks factory its way more appealing, it shows pride in saving fuel but the smaller details make up the bigger picture, i also have underground parking so it snowed everywhere except on my car then took the photo outside i also never tailgate preventing rock chips and muddy water splashing up, that also keeps it clean. ill upload some more photos tommroow

We are looking for an '11 Jetta for my wife.
This looks awesome.
What is your total gain ?
