When VW developed the MK7 Jetta, they produced a capable sedan platform with tons of potential. What it offered in styling and luxury, it certainly lacks in aggressive exterior styling. That's where the brand-new ECS Trunk Spoiler helps. The motorsport-inspired ducktail spoiler conforms to the contours of your MK7 Jetta precisely and mimics the factory styling while it improves the profile and portrait dramatically with unmatched gloss black flair.

ECS Carbon Fiber Under Hood Covers add a smooth and consistent style when you open the hood of your VW. The attention to detail and uniform look shows off your dedication to making a clean thing of beauty out of the chaos that is the engine bay. The hand laid carbon fiber weave of our covers provide a tasteful improvement to pieces under the hood you otherwise just try to ignore. Covering your battery, fuse box, engine, and more with our ECS Carbon Fiber Covers is the best way to clean up your engine with a race-inspired theme.

Your MK7 Jetta is a perfect example of a do-it-all car. With a blend of sport and comfort capabilities, a full-sized sedan frame, and those good good turbo noises, the MK7 Jetta checks all the boxes. But if you want it to be a little bit more sporty than sedate, you need the new ECS Rear Diffuser and Borla Cat-Back quad-tip exhaust system to give your Jetta a beefy sound and aggressive looks.

Finding places to put gauges in your MK7 Jetta or GLI isn't difficult; just bolt them up wherever they are still visible. For a solution that doesn't look like an afterthought that involved many zip ties and poor decisions, CJM Gauges has you covered with their Defrost Vent Pods to house two of your information displays without making those gauges look like you just tossed them in your interior and said 'that'll do.

Last year, we sent VW Brand Ambassador Jamie Orr on a trip all across the country in a pre-production MK5 Sportwagen we affectionately called the Rallywagen where it ended in the Arctic Circle. This year we picked up a VW MK7 GTI and decided to build it here at ECS to debut at SEMA and then head South to drive all the way to the tip of South America on some of the most demanding roads. Rallywagen 2.0 was fully constructed in-house by our team of engineers.

Flushing brake fluid is a commonly overlooked maintenance service for most car owners. Fluid should be flushed every 1-2 years as a good service plan, however checking with the manufacturer's suggestions is best. A simple way to tell if the fluid is in need of a change is by looking at the color, new fluid will have a slight yellow hue while amber is the sign of a needed flush. Because brake fluid is hygroscopic, its designed to hold moisture away from the metal internals to prevent corrosion. Like a sponge the fluid can only hold so much moisture before becoming ineffective.
