Whenever working on your car's interior or disassembling interior or trunk components to access exterior body parts, it's not uncommon to break or lose various fasteners and clips. Reinstallation becomes a hack job, with interior panels and linings hanging unsecured. ECS now offers a single kit including the most common clips and fasteners used on your VW, allowing you to restore unsecured parts to factory - and better prepare for your next project.

Most aftermarket boost gauges look like add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges. Many use an afterthought mounting system that looks cheesy. We think your boost gauge should be easy to see & blend with your interior. That's why we've developed this boost gauge kit just for your car. Our exact fit pods install in the center vent. The gauge design and lighting blend with other gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.

Basic headlights are decent and they light up the road just fine, but since when was "just fine" good enough?

Upgrade your factory Xenons with these Ziza Xenon bulbs. Each bulb emits a very exotic look from your lighting system.

A stripped thread can turn an enjoyable weekend project into an unbearably frustrating experience, occasionally bringing the entire job to a complete halt.

The kit contains everything to keep your project going - simply drill out the old thread, tap out the hole with the correct sized tap, and screw in a new insert with the installation tool.

When addressing a vehicle's braking system, it can be easy to overlook brake fluids. It's not always clear which parts are necessary to do the job correctly - usually resulting in unnecessary time and expense.

The level 2 Kit includes a Motive Catch Bottle Set; the level 3 kit further improves the level 2 kit with high-performance TYP 200 brake fluid.
