I'm with 'dent. I'd stick with the FG fenders, hood and standard engine lid (no recess). For running boards, I'd go paintable metal or carbon fiber ones. Just my $.02. Do whatworks for you. In the end, you're the one that has to drive it. ..

VW Scene Beetle

There is a VERY nice GL Beetle in the February issue of VW Scene. I'd like my Super to look like it body wise. I'm thinking the "beehive" tail lights for the rear. I haven't decided about the front signals.

The Bug in the magazine has the wider fenders and I fell in love with the look.

I would like to come up with a tasteful way of having the logos (like they do on NASCAR) on the car. I was thinking of Silver paint with our store logo at the bottom rear portion of the door and our 'sponsors' logos going up the rear quarter panel following the curve of the fnder. Our web address would be just above the running boards across the quarter panel and door.

I know that this is against the clean look that I am after but there aren't ANY nice bugs here and it WILL get lots of attention. Might even drive it in the annual parade -wink-

sounds good.

Sounds like you already have a good plan in order.
I see noting wronng with doing up yer buggy with logos...
I remember a time when there dozens of bugs all over town with ads and company logos. It is a boon for the car to think that it's nice enough to represent it's owner's living. =)

Anyway... Sounds like you got the workings a of a nice little car.

There are even ways of having non permanent logos attatched to your vehicle incase you just need a change of pace too.
Look into custom sign shop appliques and the like.
I wouldn't go magnets only because I've heard som weird tales about what they do to your paint.
