I was tossing the idea around about swapping out the VW hood emblem for an 8-ball. watcha think?

[katwalk]

that would be cute
I pulled the emblem off mine too

[thatpastorguy]

8 ball shifter would be a chap start.
Nice car

[KatieBug27]

love your beetle! it is awesome! I like the idea of the 8ball on the hood. How do you get the emblem off with out damaging the hood? lemme know becuase i want to change my symbol

[akaPRINCE]

nice wheels. i see a lot of potential in this car.

[pasadenagrand]

Your car looks GREAT...and the pics are really good, too...even if you're not a professional picture-taker guy!!

WOW! I love your black beetle, and your photo style- AWESOME!!.

I bet if you cut an 8-ball in half and fit it in the emblem area, that would looks smooth. If you don't want to go that route, you could always get an 8-ball, drill a hole in it, insert a nicely painted dowel, and insert it in your flower vase

Keep those awesome pics coming.

Nice to see another black beetle join the fold

Awesome and unique name for a black NB! You can make a whole theme of it
Nice and clean looking

[SatelliteBlueNB]

lol, were the cops giving you problems for being on private property? I see one passed you during your photo session!

these are the Take-5's. they seem to be the wheels that VW put on most of their limited edition NB's.

thankfully the cops did not bother me at all. they slowed and complimented me on how nice they thought 8-ball looked!

Ya know what? You know how Herbie themed beetles have the "53" placed on the hoods/doors/hatch. Well you could do the same except with the "8". Not necessarily place the 8 in all those locations, but on the hood and hatch would be cool. Even if they were vinyl, so you could remove it when you got tired of it.

Photoshop anyone?

Haha, NICE! I'm surprised I was the only one to notice the police officer! I also have the Take 5's on my Beetle. I painted the wheels black, and left the color inserts blue. I just posted a thread with pics of my baby. Check it out!

That is a great idea!
my friend has a professional vinyl sign company and would give me a pretty good discount. i need to get some time alloted to photoshop some ideas.
