If it doesn't work, you can always buy the badeless grill anyway. Don't MkIV's have the little indent where the badge meets the hood? I'd rather black out an emblem on those cars than deal with getting a new hood, or modifying it so it's flat. It just looks odd to have the little cutout and nothing there.

Yup, there's a notch on MKIV and MKV hoods for the badge. There are a ton of notch kits that have to be attached, filled, sanded, painted to the hood, but it's a lot of work for a small notch. There are some aftermarket grills that have top lip that fills the notch void. VW sells a 4 oz rattle can of matched paint that comes with 4 oz of clearcoat for less than $20 at the dealership. It's the route I'm going on my rear badges since they are adjacent to body paint and not flat black plastic like the front grill.

Plastidipping sounds interesting though. Wonder how durable that would be compared to powdercoating my wheels or anything else....

Yep thats y im guna get a hood its $700 but who cares lol

I've only seen it used on plastic parts, but I've seen a number of grills done with it and they are holding up well so far.

going to be getting 18s finished black tint and a flip up screen for christmas can't wait and going to be buying new headlights with a black housing and 2 halos on them.

i think i am going to get either a mkv gli or gti after i move to arizona hopefully this summer. i test drove both here in billings and i like them both the gti was impressive but so was the gli. mike and chris if you drive by the rimrock dealer on 24th the gli i drove was the black one across from bww! check it out six speed 2.0T and everything pretty nice!

Black 2.0T 6 speed? Where have I seen that? You have good taste my friend! AZ? As much as I love black, I'd go white for AZ. I love the white almost as much as I love the black.

ya thats what i thought to i wouldn't mind a white car but black out everything else on it that would be sick. i was in az a couple of days ago and everything has rims on it lol. should be fun plus everywhere you go you can't find a car that is dirty!

Ill check it out.
AZ is hot! U goin to school there?
Check out the R32 also.
They r sweet just no turbo but u can put one on it.

my whole family is movin there we already own some land there. i think once i get there i will go to school prolly for something like web design or something to do with auto body. and ya az is hot but it gets hot here just like there only in the winter time its like 50-70 degrees and that sounds a hell of a lot better than what happens here!

Got ya keep in touch u might be able to get
