Default I would think most would put mods into performance...that is TT's weakest link

Let's face it, we bought the TT for the way it looks, not for its speed or handling. 10 years later it still looks modern and contemporary yet at the same time classic and enduring, ala 911. For a lot less money, we could have bought something from japan with better performance, but not better aesthetics. We can buy performance parts to equal or exceed their performance. Not enough money to make them more aesthetically pleasing than the TT. Just my 2 cents.

Default Probably about even, dollar-wise, if you don't count the wheels...

Wheels could be argued either way but I got them because they look hawt.

Default 100% performance

although it can be argued that many performance mods, like suspension, help dramatically with the looks.

And of course the car itself is an Aesthetic mod, eh?

Default I'm around the same as you

I'm not sure what it would be if I did everything that I wanted but it would still be much higher on the performace side.
