the panoz does, as do most cars that have a carbon monocoque chassis. making pans for a beetle would be that difficult, as there no real compound curves. the main cost would come from purchasing the honeycomb its self. the stuff is not cheap in the proper grade for this kind of use. you can also get it in a microcell design where each comb(or section) has micro perferations to allow equel air pressure within the whole peice. this kind is used mainly in air craft where the pressure change from ground level to in the air needs to be equalized or the peice would simply explode.
