After years of riding around slammed on coilovers the original Silverstone paint on the arches of Leo’s GTI (or what was left of it) was a testament to the old saying “you have to pay to play”. So Leo decided it was time for a change… The car recently received a full color change in Toyota’s Quicksand color code (that cool color on the FJ cruisers), and the Image IFX’s were sprayed in a complimentary BMW Sepang Bronze. Now in order to avoid finding out what brand new burnt Quicksand paint looks like, Leo enlisted the help of Drew Dorbritz of Dorbritz Designs to install his new Airlift struts and AccuAir E-level management. Our friend Tek was on hand to document the entire install on this “Coffee & Cream” GTI and he put together this beautiful triptych showcasing the finished product. If you would like to see a detailed look at the install and more of the finished product jump over to Dorbritz Designs writeup!

For a car like this, bags are extremely expensive, at least for a college student like me with the same car
