WOW..... not your average Beetle indeed.

While most people might not like that (and you WILL hear from them, they are quite vocal about their tastes.. h8r's...)... interestingly enough, I love it!

If it didn't have the flames on it, I might not like it as much, but it works.

What kind of mods have you made to powertrain ?

What are the specsc on your car?

I demand to know more!

The hood for me is about the only... iffy part.. but if it's got functional intakes that's just fine


P.S. The small 'wing' parts of the spoiler, are they not part of a 3 piece spoiler set? That's kind of a cool effect

And, what wheels are those? Those are pretty slick as well.

Yeah I agree with Evanrude; that front-end can be kind of blocky and jarring but with that paint scheme it ties it all in and works very well. If it had been all one color the front just wouldn't fit

The only way I could see to improve on what you have (and this is just my taste) is to add some all black wheels

Nice job!

I just realized why the hood feels off to me.. it's becaue the green flames / design don't continue from the bumper up onto the hood. If it did, the entire front would flow for me

I have to say your car looks really nice, except for the hood, front bumber and rear spoiler. If you change those items back to stock it would be perfect.

Yeah the exposed CF hood doesnt fit in right, it would fit in better if it were painted. I have one way to explain the front of you car, bombasitc.

Liking the bug. The hood ain't my cup of tea, but still I'm diggin it The hood had me disapointed only because I thought by the size of it, there was something big and nasty underneath it- it's all good though.

Dude, I like the flame scheme you did- works well with that blue. It would look even sicker if the inside headlight surrounds were painted to match.

Who did the paint? noyce!

All in all one cool bug.

...ok, I'll say it.

I hate the front end. Always have.

But, I do think the paint job was very well done. Like the wheels very much, too.
