When I glanced at that third pic real quick, the mats for the tires on the floor looked like two huge exhuast tips!!!

Congrats!!! My dad almost picked up a 2004 DSG, but bought his 'vert GT instead...

Those L's are holding there value very well....

A few mods nothing crazy though. Im going to put some chrome or black rims on it right away and get the windows tinted, right away. Ill prolly do a few performance mods sooner or later

DSG is a pretty rare color too, only 1818 were ever made and only 648 were made in 04.

Nice L! If/when I ever get a truck...its definatly going to be one of them

But I have to ask...why? You have a S/C mustang, why do you need a hotrod truck now?

What looks like exhausr is the little plastic pices they put on the floor under each tire. I don't know if that has been cleared up yet. If not look at pic 2 and look under the tires, you can see what Im talking about.

Nice L! I have a LOT of respect for this car. My friend down the street from me has the "fastest stock suspension Gen2 on the planet" and he just sold it Car was a BEAST and ran a 9.74. It had a KB 2.6 and was on the bottle. All forged, everything custom, etc. He used it as a Daily Driver. I hated seeing him around town because if he reved at you it made you feel so small and pathetic. The video does it no justice, this thing growled like a beast. Enjoy his 9.7 @ 138 run!!

Nice looking truck! I've never seen one in DSG before. And with only 2500 miles, that thing was never driven!

Wow sorry to hear that man. Those trucks are about as useful as tats on a board. Maybe its not too late to change your mind? Anyways, hopefully you will be able to easily sell it once you realize what a mistake you made.

DSG Is the best color ever. I don't know if this is a better vehicle than the Vette... but I love Lightnings and am very happy for you.

So the real question is this... How much did you pay???
