A brief survey of your local parking lot will quickly discover one main weakness in headlight lenses made from plastic. It doesn't take long for plastic lenses to go foggy and turn yellow, making your car look ancient. We have a solution: Pitch them and replace them with a fresh set! Brighter and more durable than the competitor, Bremmen Parts' affordable MKIV Jetta headlight lenses are clearly better than those jaundiced originals marring your car's appearance.

Turbine-blade styling and that machined aluminum shine. Giving your MKVI Jetta a set of these wheels will have you feeling like a samurai at a knife convention... great. Guaranteed for a perfect fit, at a perfect price, it's only a matter of time before you'll be dicing up traffic on these 19x8.5" wheels. Functional as a Swiss knife, but dazzling as a broadsword. Don't leave the garage without a set... who knows what lurks on the open road.

A clutch replacement is something you want to do once, with confidence. Stuffing a fresh friction disc between a tired pressure plate and heat-hardened flywheel is asking for trouble. You could source parts individually and spend a pile having it all shipped piecemeal. Slow. Expensive. Or, you can order a convenient clutch package that includes disc, pressure plate, clutch cover, throwout bearing, and hardware, and let us ship it free. As in no charge. As in easy, peasy. Good. Fast. Affordable. Pick three.

You spoke. We listened. You wanted an affordable set of good looking 18s for your Volkswagen, and here they are. You asked for a classic design with bold styling, with offsets to give aggressive enthusiast fitments; here they are. You wanted muscular 5-spoke 18x8s that will fill your wheel wells, without emptying your wallet. There you go.

Go from ordinary to extraordinary in minutes with bright white LEDs. Easy to install, this premium lighting upgrade will give your MKVI the most impressive set of lights on the road. Watch as white light explodes though the prisms in the lens facets to create a look you can never get with filament bulbs. Each complete kit is plug-n-play ready to go. Just switch the bulbs; it's really that easy.

Nothing could be finer than a Bremmen cargo liner in your wagon. Made of a flexible, easy-to-clean vinyl, these mats are tailored to fit like a glove in your Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen (09+) or B5 Passat Wagon. The tough mat material is flexible, and cleans easily with soap and water. The raised perimeter lip contains liquid spills that would otherwise ruin your interior carpeting. As an added benefit, the rectangular center section is covered in a soft textured vinyl that protects delicate cargo, and keeps flat items from shifting when you corner.

The ECS Tuning 6-speed short shift kit shortens shift throws to let you grab the next gear faster. Reduce fore and aft movement needed to engage gears by 49, 28, or 7 percent--or leave it stock. Then do something you can't do with other shift kits: pick the exact shifter feel that suits your preference. The kit includes five balance weights to let you dial in a feel that matches your new, reduced throws. Heavy cast shift arm comes with a complete installation kit, including plate, weights, bolts, washers, and shift pin. Order now and we'll ship yours free.

Spin to win. Bolt on our all new VR6 MKIV pulley pair for faster revs off the line. This dynamic duo is redesigned from the billet up for good looks and less weight. Crank and power steering pulley are machined from premium aluminum, then black anodized for appearance, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Weighing in at a fraction of the cast iron originals they replace, both have stock outside diameters, so you can go on using a standard length accessory belt. Complete with new crank bolt and woodruff key, ECS Tuning VR6 lightweight pulleys are easy to install, and ready to roll.

Check these out: we have Vaico diverter valves for your 1.8T Volkswagen. Keep your boost inside the intake where it belongs, and cure common driveability concerns with this stronger, more durable VW/Audi valve, suitable for stock or mildly tuned cars. Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition, they limit turbo boost, and most eventually fail due to a pin hole or tear in the valve diphragm. Symptoms vary, but commonly include rough idle, a loss of power, or an illuminated check engine light. Easy to install, you'll need one sooner or later, so be prepared.

Your MKIV's headlights have probably seen better days. You could repair broken bits or polish the lens if that's the route you want to go. The only problem, however, is that they'll still be the same stock headlights. These headlights from Helix Automotive Lighting are designed to look like the European HID headlights from across the pond. While these headlights come plug-n-play ready with H7 hi/low beam bulbs, the housings are perfectly capable of handling an upgrade using your favorite aftermarket HID kit components (all you'd need is the ignitors, the ballasts, and the bulbs).

Spin to win. Bolt on our all new MKIII VR6 crank pulley for faster revs off the line. Our Black Beauty is redesigned from the billet up for good looks and less weight. Machined from premium, anodized aluminum, this super-lightweight weighs in at a fraction of the cast iron original, but has the same outside diameter, so you can go on using a standard length accessory belt. Complete with new crank bolt and woodruff key, the ECS Tuning VR6 lightweight pulley is easy to install, and ready to roll.

Here's the deal. Some of you MKII owners have sustained a front hit or noticed that the original core support looks like rust particles holding hands. If either applies to your car (or if you want to add a set of Euro-aero headlights), we have a once in a lifetime price on MKII radiator core supports. It's a jaw dropper to be sure. Won't happen again. Why not take advantage of this deal while it lasts. At this price, you may want to order a "just-in-case" backup for a rainy day.

Tired of chasing paper-thin aftermarket floor mats around your interior? Want a plush, durable mat set, with floor anchors and stylish piping? Then wiggle your toes in a set of Schwaben floor mats from ECS tuning. Our thick pile carpeted mats have the look and feel of original equipment, complete with waterproof rubber backing, and round retainers to keep them anchored.

You've hit the jackpot with the Schwaben European Essentials Tool Set. Never again will you be cursing the unique fasteners on your European automobile. Instead, you'll take to the task like a conquistador of cars. The garage is your El Dorado.

We're excited; and with good reason. ECS Tuning proudly introduces our new line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.

Our aluminum wheel hanger makes it easy to remove and install wheels. Just thread the hanger stud into a wheel bolt hole and hang the wheel safely while you rotate tires or remove them for service or vehicle repair. It's also great for keeping wheel bolt holes aligned on cars with spacers. Our improved hanger is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized for hardness and good looks. The knurled, non-slip handle has a drilled hole so you can hang it on a pegboard hook in your garage. Better still, order two: one for your garage and another for the emergency tool kit in your trunk.

You slammed your MKIV, and dropping the chassis has rolled the tires so far forward in the wheel wells they look like they're hiding. What to do? ECS Tuning introduces a simple solution with our new Wheel Centering Plates. Bolt these beefy spacers between your axle and chassis and coax the axle rearward so your tires sit where they belong, in the center of the wheel opening. Easy to install, our Wheel Centering Plates come as a complete installation kit, with hardened bolts and washers; our helpful installation video shows you how. ECS: Extremely Creative Solutions

Knock, knock. Who's there? If your MKIV suspension is knocking, trust us, it's no joke. When your control arm bushings start clangin' and bangin', they're warning you that they need to be replaced. Problem is, most of us don't have access to the equipment needed to install fresh bushings in old control arms. That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with polyurethane bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock rubber bushings.

Here's a bright idea. Bright red, that is. Easy to install with minor modifications, 2.0T bright red conduit coil wire covers snap in place for a great look.

Schwaben Go-Through Screwdrivers might at a glance appear to be functionally identical to those contained in other sets - upon further inspection, it becomes obvious that these tools are built to an exceedingly high build standard, and are uniquely designed for extreme durability. The Go-Through design means the metal driver shaft extends in through the handle of the tool, instead of dead-ending at the grip. This gives the driver a better weight, feel, and increases the effectiveness and durability of the tool.

We don't know how you feel about it, but trusting your engine's most vital fluid to a plastic filter housing seems like a leap of faith. In fact, after repeated heat cycling and several oil changes performed with pliers and other makeshift tools, the original plastic filter housing body gets pretty ratty. Why not install a smart looking billet aluminum housing and take the guesswork and risk out of filter changes. These durable aluminum housings come with the proper installation socket, and take readily available standard drain plug seals. Your engine will thank you.

Are you looking for something to make your ride stand out from the crowd? These badges come from the beloved Golf R and the European R-line and they are sure to catch a few eyes.

Lowering springs should do more than get your car closer to the ground. If you're considering your lowering options, be sure to include the premium quality spring sets from Eibach or H&R. Improve handling but keep ride quality suitable for a daily driver with Sport springs or take the gloves off and install no nonsense race springs. Regardless of your choice, buy with confidence, knowing you're getting German-made springs with an unrivaled reputation for quality and performance.
