They were able to customize this Volkswagen Scirocco with several exterior improvements to give it a stellar look.

This suspension setup not only improves the sports car look, however it enhances the handling and driving dynamics as well. Factory VW Scirocco wheels were traded out with larger 19×8.5 rims in the front, 19×9.5 in the rear, with tires measuring 225/35/R19, and 255/30/R19 respectively. Aiming for the unique and perfect sounding sports car, JMS installed a stainless steel muffler from Eisenmann Exhaust Systems, which also improves the performance numbers.
