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. You can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels

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.

The gauge design and lighting blend with other gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look.

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts.

ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum, with black zinc-coated steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Fuel filters remove particulates that can clog and abrade fuel system components. Over time, regular wear and tear can cause clogging in your filter - making it difficult for your engine to get all the fuel it needs. A fresh fuel filter addresses many fuel related problems including surging, stalling, cold start issues, failed emissions tests, and poor engine performance under a variety of conditions. At ECS Tuning, we have a variety of genuine VW & other name brand replacement filters to restore proper gas mileage and give you peace of mind.

The MKVI GTI design displays a subdued power as well as an attention to balance and form.

The VW Front Lip Spoiler Kit for your MKVI GTI comes in 6 colors, including a primer option for your creative use. Everything required for installation is included.
