My GAWD that's an ugly NB! Don't even THINK of getting that fake rear brake vent thing, everyone on the ORG hates it.

The other part is OK (I guess) and it's just a chrome trim kit painted in green: http://www.autotrucktoys.com/beetle/...7298C1658.aspx

Gotta agree with ya there. But for some reason people buy these aweful comtraptions. If you want the vent look go with the Charactre Side skirts at least.

You could cut a hole in your fender and wheel well liner and make it a functional rear brake vent...not that the NB's need a rear brake vent...

If you're gonna do that, use at least one for a fuel cooler.

It's air to the front brakes that's important, the front rotors are almost twice the size (front and rear shown below):

BTW, those wheels with 235/45/17 Michelin PS2's with 1/2 tread left are for sale for $500 (available end of next week), but local pick up or delivery is required. I'll post a FS thread next week.
