Show me some pictures

[bugsoup]

I am thinking about painting my Design 90's black and with a polished lip. I'd like some opinions and pictures of different colors of cars that have this look. Any make/model will work for my purposes. Please post pictures that you come across to help me decide which color to paint the rest of the car.

I will also consider leaving them stock or painting them all black if you can convince me. Let me know what you guys think.

Hi bugsoup,

can you tell me what modifications have you done to the car?look-wise?

I actually have not accomoplished any of my planned mods yet. I've spent two years collecting all the parts since rescuing a '56 Beetle from the desert in Arizona.

So far the plan for the body is:

'56 Body on a '69 chassis
993 headlights (stock, possibly Litronic conversion)
New Beetle taillights (stock)
Audi A4 door handles (later style from a 2000)
Design 90's (16x6, 16x8)
one piece windows
hidden hinges
no stock chrome
late rear apron/deck lid (1974 FI if I remember correctly)
flared fenders (as wide as necessary, I'm anticipating about 2 inches in back, 1-2" in the rear; I will be trying my hand at fiberglass/CF once I get the chassis together and the track finalized)

These flares will be the bubble-type, that hug the tire, the typical style of GL. I already have everything listed above except for the fenders. The idea is for the car to look as smooth and uncluttered as possible, while making it as functional as possible.
