I have a 2009 New Beetle Gecko Green, Any ideas to trick/mod it out. Pictures would be nice and web sites.

Thanks

So many. SSOOO many.

Let's start with "what do you want the car to be" though...

I could build a car, but tha'td be MY car; let's build yours.

What's your style ? be abstract and loose as you want.

You definitely need to provide a little more info with what you're looking for. Window tint is a good mod for any Beetle! Come to our Colorado GTG March 6 at Dave and Buster's! We'd love to meet you and you can see our NBs and get an idea of possible mods for yours!!

This is what I've done so far. Just got chrome dual exhaust.

[CoriBug]

nice! How about clear corners in the front? Or maybe you've already done that. Have you done anything in the interior? Engine?

[porboy]

Nothing with the engine or inside. Did put on window vents, not shown. was thinking about lowering it.

[porboy]

Clear corners in front, not sure what you mean.

would like to find some smoked out tail lens.

[Fl_bug]

You're better off smoking your own bud! Oh, and i recommend Chrome bulbs for the turn signal so you dont get the yolk effect (where it looks orange when you look at it). Another common trade is to get LED bulbs.

More on chrome bulbs here

Clear corners for your car can be found on ECS tuning here.

Thanks for the feed back. Not to sound like a dumb azz but how do you smoke you own lenses?

VHT Nite Shades. One can is enough to do your tails and corner markers. I applied several coats to the corner markers to make them blend more with the body color.

Sweet bug

Be happy to delete the pic since this is your thread. Just let me know. I just posted it as an example of "smoking your own"

[porboy]

Did you just spray the inside of the stock red lens? Any prep work needed?

You tint the outside then clear coat them. My corner markers were not clearcoated, tails were.
