So, I'm thinking of doing an old school/new style blend of graphics on the lightnin' bug. Quick mock up in photoshop to show what I'm thinking of....opinions? comments?

Anthracite Carbon fibre film insert with red stripe to accent.



option 2, black stripe with black GTI style lower stripe over carbon insert
I didn't think I'd like this one, but I'm kind of digging it......

I'm a fan. I looked for those wheels for months for my TS.
Diggin the retro look. Been thinkin bout doing something similar...Not a fan of the red strip. Maybe if you were to add some red accents elsewhere on the car. Maybe I just dont like red. On the black GTI stripe, maybe fade it towards the top or into the carbon? it just looks to heavy to me. Anyhoo...I dig your ride......and am now subscribing.

how about option 3 or 4? (god, now I sound like an optometrist....LOL)

combo of 1 and 2


no CF insert...a little sportier, less modern retro.
