Cheap Cosmetic Mods For My Mk4 Jetta | Gud Daily Driver ep 3

[@DakotaStone]

I've had multiple people come up to me in person and tell me they have been enjoying the Gud Daily Driver series, and I can't explain how happy that makes me! Thank you guys for supporting and being here each week. I truly am enjoying making content, and fixing this car. Stay tuned, the next episode is going to WILD!

[@PurpleMonkeyWaffle]

Lookin forward to it bro!

I saw you near Home Depot on a week ago and was pointing out your car to my wife and she’s like “yep that’s the guy you watch on KZbin while eating cereal”

[@adamoboccitto5595]

It's definitely your best series yet... now you must find a way to put the te37's on!!!!

[@lobutwitouttest]

when is the next episode coming out?

[@jrf607]

Man this really brings me back to the good ole days of car KZbin. Where it wasn't about supercars or 100k dollar JDM import builds, just simple mods to humble daily driver cars. Loving this series my dude, keep up the good work!

[@DakotaStone]

Tbh I was nervous to do this series since obviously it doesn’t compare with the insane builds of today’s standards. Really have appreciated all the support from people like you! Thanks man!

[@InDefenseoftheGenre1022]

Appreciate you showing the real pain that comes with the “small” mods. I felt that pain with the spoiler and sending the plastic shift knob piece flying lol

[@DakotaStone]

Hahaha thanks for watching!

[@angeloah]

Videos teach two things, most people love to hear their own voice, and how it goes smoothly. Never get the video of multiple fails and what to do, just the blah blah blah last 30sec here it is installed. Love your honesty and humor about it all dude.

[@DakotaStone]

Hahaha thank you so much!! Really appreciate you coming back to every video and commenting. Means the world. Drives me to keep making videos! 🙌🏻

[@hogibunz834]

“Got some weight to it, just like me.”😂 love you bro, keep up genuine content🙏

[@DakotaStone]

Appreciate you! 🫃

[@mayacelinee]

That shift knob did low key leave my hand all cutted up 😤 new shifter looks sooo much better now!!

[@DakotaStone]

100% had to go, no more hand cuts 🖐️

[@masterchief342]

I'd love to recommend the Diesel Geek shifter as the second half of that BFI shift knob. Also, seek a 2.5in borla exhaust system for it, because the 24v sound is unbeatable.

[@DakotaStone]

It has an exhaust on it right now, previous owner installed it! Absolutely love how the VR6 sounds

[@masterchief342]

@@DakotaStone Oh! I had no idea, it's been too quiet in videos lol

[@j_mars_cars]

@@masterchief342I heard it in person and it’s subtle but definitely audible! Love it

[@frankhoward7645]

Wanna avoid a common rust problem on these cars? When water and debris go through the cowl (where the wipers sit), there's no way for this stuff to drain and it all winds up trapped in the bottom of the fenders right next to the doors. Remove the three bottom torx screws that hold the wheel well liners in and bend up. You'll be shocked at what's in there! Good luck Dakota!

[@somecrz]

Common W Dakota upload! Dude I could hear the panic in your voice looking for the bottom adhesive for the duck bill lol at 17:43. The shift knob looked like hell to install but man does it look way better! The leather matched perfectly! The Gud Daily Driver is coming along nicely!

[@DakotaStone]

Hahaha there was probably a lot of panic in my voice through out the entire episode. I'm SO stoked with the shift knob, especially after driving with it for a bit now. Really excited for you to see what's next!

[@gigamix7394]

I can not wait to see more on this car. I loooove this. Such a sick daily

[@DakotaStone]

Glad you’re enjoying the series! The next episode is a game changer 💪🏻

[@brianjburrows8967]

Really digging this series on the GLI. I have always loved this generation of the Jetta. Videos are great and very entertaining. ✌🏻

[@ThatDudeArvai]

Seeing you do the wing reminded me when I did the ducktail on my Cobalt. I went and bought a wingless trunk just for it, measured, drilled the holes, all to realize it sat way too far back and had to drill all new holes... You live and you learn.

[@DakotaStone]

Sometimes no way to know unless you try!

[@J_spec6]

This series has been great so far brosaki. It's a refreshing change from CERTAIN PEOPLE with built FDs and ferraris, and 1500hp supras etc etc. Also, we need some more Larry Lovestein music in the mix!

[@DakotaStone]

I love those videos too tbh, but I agree! It’s nice working on cheap cars, and doing the fun small mods that make a big difference. Really made me enjoy working on cars again

[@J_spec6]

@@DakotaStone I may not have worded that the best way, cause I love those videos too too. But if you've been watching "car youtubers" as long as I have (and I bet you have) that stuff can get kinda jaded after a while. That's one of the reasons I still follow guys like @mightycarmods real closely too

[@scottarnold8637]

Nice Dakota ya eruo stuff is difficult sometimes they overengineer everything keep it up brother!😂

[@DakotaStone]

There are parts I love about euro cars and parts I absolutely despise lol. Thanks for being here!

[@itsmileyy]

I love this series so much. The unhinged presentation is fantastic.

[@DakotaStone]

Thank you!

[@austincorvino3024]

Dakota literally never disappoints. The bfi knob is a must. I took some electrical tape around where the screws bite to help stiffen it up on the shaft (lol, that was dirty)

[@MFullaStyle]

Don't need electric tape ..its fine without it ..

[@DakotaStone]

I did notice a littttteeeeee twist play in the knob but it doesn’t bother me after driving with it!

[@Uchia18]

man i appreciate you showing all the flubs in the regular video. lets me know its not just me that thinks of stuff 2 seconds after I get to the other side of the car.

[@DakotaStone]

Want to keep it real with you guys. I don’t have a lift, a team, a camera guy, etc. just want it to be like we’re hanging out in the garage!

[@chadtucket6712]

My favorite series on KZbin at the moment, brings me back to working on my first car. Also now I want a daily to work on, so if I buy a 05 a4 avant it’s your fault lmao

[@DakotaStone]

No wayyyyy! THANK YOU SO MUCH. GET THAT AVANT BOIIII!

[@miroshima47]

I hope you enjoy making these and other videos as much as we enjoy watching them..this type of content authentic and just dope not trying too hard is what tik tok and all the trendy car content is kinda missing these days...keep it up please lol

[@DakotaStone]

This series has been the most fun I’ve had filming in a long time. The fact I’m getting comments like this has me on cloud 9 and pushes me to make the next episode even better. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@constructapex2021]

I feel you on the plastic noise hate like it sends an angry shiver up your spine I get that when I hear crappy windshield wipers rubbing it gets me "heated" as the kids say

[@DakotaStone]

So happy you’re enjoying it!

[@N037O]

The other day I was looking into getting a new shift knob for my 1.8T bug and I was looking precisely at the BFI ones. They are REALLY nice but expensive. If you add the optional 5 or 6 spd coin, its about $175 before taxes and shipping. I'll stick with the OEM one a lil' longer. 😅

[@DakotaStone]

I 100% hear ya. I went back and forth on it for days. Finally said screw it lol. Wanted to at least show people if it lives up to the hype!

[@MFullaStyle]

Just get it lol iv had my black/blue Alcantara one for years now no issues..the set screws haven't let up ..a lil damn dish soap and a toothbrush cleans it up easy

[@MFullaStyle]

Dawn dish soap* 😆

[@jcabrerard4851]

LED black markers would look a lot better than those clear ones, especially on a black car. Upgraded rearview mirrors with black dynamic LED signal lights... sweet! They look like the MKV's and dynamic signal lights on the fenders.

[@Christian3522]

Those BFI Shift knobs are sooo damn good. I had one in my old GTI and I loved it. So much I wish they made one for my new Ford I have.

[@DakotaStone]

Gotta say it has been one of my favorite shift knobs I’ve bought over the years

[@johnpinky8]

sick! makes me want a jetta because that thing is looking so good now
