Default Welcome!

Don't let others make you feel down about your New Beetle. They're just jealous. You're a better person then they are..... We New Beetle people are a unique bunch, and a fun one at that. Have fun with your NB, and enjoy it.

Pics, please!

I have never seen tails like that. Did you do it yourself?

And, what do you mean, "concrete"? Why?

yeah i did the tails myself , the concrete in it is a dynomat to keep the sound inside the car and to keep the car from rattling when you in spl competition. its a thin layer , like i said you can have a bomb go off next to you and you wouldnt hear it cause its sound proof.

Those tails are awesome! Nice work. The razzing of owning a new beetle will be a thing of the past soon enough. Looks like you got the better ind of the deal with the trade anyway. I think you need a few more ABD parts to add to the car. J/K car looks great keep the pics coming.
