These lights too weird and retro?
Before it starts and I thought about it before I even started typing. Yes, This is just freaking weird, but i want opinions anyway...and not the 100 people looked and zero replies kind like I got on the dash Ideas thread. That's just plain mean! heheh...anyway with that said...and Yes, I AM INSANE! just look at the pic and cast your judgments.
I am accepting: "What were you thinking?!" "Uhm...this is "german look" not "F.ound O.n R.oad D.ead look"" "Hmmmmmmph....." and my favorite... "What color crack are you smoking again?" Thanks for your input. G.Sainz (The Over/Super Monkey)

I like them, they look differant, but they still look similar to the old style with the parking light in the housing.
I personaly, don't think they're TOO weird and retro, but hey. I know I'm crazy.  But it's all good, anywho. they're cool man. Mike

I like the way they look but I'm not to sure if they would look good on a GL car. What car are they from or what car are they for. I think they might look good on a hot rod retro beetle.

Wow! thanks for the quick response!
Yeah...I was thinking they might be too streetrod looking too. I DID find them in a street rod site. They were made for a late 30's Ford. Read my other post. I found some cool dash stuff at dakota digital. If you look at the car show gallery section and see the convertible Porsche speedsters. THAT is the dash look I want in my 1303 only with a bit of grainy black leather capped off with one of these...(see pics).

I did catch onto the "F.ound O.n R.oad D.ead" text. The first dash looks very
retro and would be at home in a 60"s custom sports car and the second looks more modern. Although I'm not a big fan of the machined groove dash look. It's a tough choice between the two of them.

i like the ideas but not for a gl car, although its your car and do what you like. but i do think it would look sweet in a rat rod, but i do think a your taste lean more to that. build what you lke and dont let boundries keep you in. start a new style! :agree:

Some nice looking goodies there, but I have to agree that although they will look real cool on a Beetle just as long as it's not a GL

URK! Go read my posts on what I'm doin to the car.
I'm not "ratting", "rodding" it, goin cal or baja...
Now....look at this way. "Retro-German-Look" Tricky? yes. Possible? I think so. Just a matter of finding the right bits. that's why I ask you guys. I'm not givin up on "german-Look"... Just "tweaking" it a bit. Just read my other posts and you'll get it. It's not going to be easy, but I think it is possible.
