i have manufactured a scooped decklid for 70s beetle, (my 1303 in particular), it is all steel and before it got final painted i had a local make a few fiberglass copies, if anyone would like to see the lid pm me or reply here with you email, i aint figured out how to post pics,

currently 2 available for £70 each plus postage to wherever you are, more can be made to order.

the scoop is about 2/3 the width of the decklid and about 1.5" opened out.

nasc car ducts could be done but as they are basically designed for a flat panel ther will be a lot of filling and shaping to get them to fit a curved panel like an engine lid.

i put one into the front quarter of my bug and it was a lot of work to get the curve exactly matched.

basically i ended up buying one duct then using it as a mould then i made a fiberglass one that i cut and grind into shape.
