The new plan

[Veedub]

OK as I was researching for tires an was about to purchase I noticed I was not going to like the look at all, In order for me to even like it, I'd drastically need to lower the car which I dont want to do. Then I was looking at the bug in my backyard, my parts car, it had the 8 spoke wheels. Took one off an learned i have real EMPI 8 spokes.Also that the parts bug has front an rear sway bars. So that got me thinking of a different route.
The EMPI 8's will be painted gloss black with 3 spoke knock offs with chrome lug nuts, 195/50/15's front an back.I already have a set on hand.
I donno what the look is called that I'm going with is considered but Ive been toold its the Auto cross look.More info will come once I start back on my project.I ordered a new clutch kit, front an rear shocks, dropped spindles and hopefully if everything goes as planned it will be on road March or April

Also anyone know who carries the repros of the Kamei spoiler? I've seen people talk bout them for the Super Beetles but what about the Standards?

This is getting a little off of "Wheels" but Kamei spoilers definitely were made for 1971-73 Supers as I had one on mine. That means they will also fit 1968-73 standard Beetle bumpers because they had the same bumpers. I thought (but not positive) there was a Kamei bumper that were made for the larger bumpers of the later years. I do know someone had come up with a simple but smart mod to make the spoiler I had work on a later model. I don't remember which site had it (maybe here), but I did print it out for my files. I can try to find it at home.

As for reproductions, I would imagine the essential aspects would have been duplicated from the original Kamei spoiler.
