The inspiration behind Jagjiven Dulku's 2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLS came to him when he was 15 years old. A man who lived down the street from him owned a 2000 12V VR6 Jetta, ironically it was silver as well. It had a rare lip kit, a mild drop and was equipped with a VF Engineering supercharger kit to add a punch to the VR. Needles to say, it was one of the cleanest cars Dulku had seen. Fast forward 10 years and Dulku had rebuilt the car that had inspired him. Although the setup has changed numerous times, Dulku never thought that he would someday build and surpass the car that inspired it all!

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
Dulku's favorite modification would be a battle between the steering wheel and the air suspension. The steering wheel is a rare piece that was imported from Spain (including the airbag). It's often overlooked but it's touched the most (daily basis). It also make the Jetta feel brand new again.
The air suspension on Dulku's Jetta was installed over 5 years ago. He remembers when no one had it and people would stare at the car in parking lots (which still happens very often) and tries to figure out how he drives the car (the front lip rest on the floor).
