hey thanks for the reply! i was looking at the votex yesterday night and might be buying that one..i wanted the Carac. but many of my friends said it was a headache bcus of the exhaust ..do you know anything about it? Does the exhaust need modification since its coming out in the middle?? does the spare tired need to be removed or can i shape it like an L without affecting the performance?

if you know this answers ily forever lmao

Thnks again!

Actually, if you buy an entire Caractere Kit, it has a special center mount exhaust with the kit.

A full Caractere body kit will probably run you about $2,000 - $2600, and INCLUDES the exhaust, front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and the rear spoiler.

The Votex skirts attach on top of the stock beetle skirt, and they have a line down the side of them, looks kind of like a little bulge almost.

See here?

Most of the dealers have sets of them as far as I know? did you try them?

[Orangebuggie]

uh huh yeah i call the one by house and they dont have it eeks ill have to keep on calling them monday..i give them the part number you gave me right?

[Orangebuggie]

I have a major problem! I switchd the blades of my key to a new control, programed the control and now the immobolizer light is on and won't turn on the car! ...but I can use the valet key...I did it to my 2 controls it starts the car but turns off ! Help pls !!!!!!

[Fl_bug]

Yea. When you do that, you have to take it somewhere to get the car back programmed to the immobilizer. The vallet key still works because it hasn't been changed. If you put it back on the old ones (with the programming), it should work just find.

If you take it to a dealer, they're mad expensive to do here... IF you find a decent place, let me know because i need my flip key done too. I've been using the valet key since i bought the car in August 09.

[HarlequinPixie]

did you move the immobilizer chip to the new key too?

[Orangebuggie]

does the bumper from the OEM come with the lights and the accessory like votex?

[Orangebuggie]

Hmm I'm not sure..where is the chip? We got a new control put old key in new one and programmed control..
