Don't buy any of those!!!!! ewwww yucca pooey look either for a caractere kit or something good looking. ps I'd stay away from the wings west kit or you'll get stuck with a pos like I did, which btw I still have but wouldn't feel right selling it to anybody I consider a friend. It was way off and would cost a fortune to get it on and looking correctly. I'm partial to the zwo kit but have never seen one for sale. Just My opinion.

this is the front bumper that i have. i know that it is kinda pricy but for the durability and overall good looks of it i couldn't say no. However i do have a fiberglass rear bumper that i ordered from a site similiar to the one that you listed and have had no problems yet but i do plan on getting another better one soon.

I really like this kit. Pricey, yes, but you really only get one chance to do it right, so why not buy what you like the first time. SO I will be saving for at least a year for this kit.

Landspeed is a good company to buy your kit from. The Caractere kit is a very nice kit. My experience with it was the front went on real nice. The rear spoiler (piece covering the bottom of the rear bumper) gave us a little bit of trouble. I ran the front spoiler only for a couple of years then put on the rear spoiler and wing a few months ago. I have the pricing listed in my mod list that I spent to purchase parts and have them painted and installed. You can have it done cheaper most likely but I payed more to have it done with me there helping. My bumpers were removed and the kit installed with the parts off the car, they were seam sealed and then painted. Page 15 of my phoyo thread has pictures of the back of my bug with the kit installed. Marvins Dad did a write up on the front spoiler install and they did it for fairly cheap in a driveway and the end result looked really good. On kind of the same note, if you now have a stock beetle and you are wanting to make it look better I would suggest getting some wheels and tires first then drop it an inch and a half and see how you like it, before you put a kit on. Look up the thread "show me your wheels" and I think there is also a thread called "show me your body kit." Good luck have fun with your bug and take lots of pictures, we love pictures.
