Default Unibrace for the Beetle

Updated (again):

Pls contact Bruce (if you haven't already e-mailed him) so he knows how many are in on this.
Looks like 11 people have posted interest, but we need a dozen to make this happen.

if i had a beetle still, i'd hit it. i run with the rear seat down most of the time, so it'd be AWESOME to have a divder as well...

I'd buy one just because it would give a rear seat delete a really clean look.

And I'm dead serious because weirdly I was very close to buying one of these the other night assuming it would fit.

A ton of people will chime in and only a few will come through with the cash, so mark me down as a guaranteed sale. I can pay whenever.

If the fitment is good, for $300.00 shipped I'm DEFINITELY in for one. I'll just have to order mine "unfinished" so I can bring it to the powdercoater to be painted to match my calipers and hoses.

The real funny part is, you're probably right. No way I'll just buy one "off the shelf" and put it in my car without customizing it somehow! lOL

as much as i'd like one, i'll have to pass.

i'm up to my ears in an aircooled rebuild that will most likey last the entire winter. so my car fund is pointed at the relic right now, while the turbo hibernates in my friends garage.

Default info for UNIbrace

Information can be found by looking at this VWVortex thread:VWvortex Forums: How many times can the .:R feel like a whole different car? Add a tick for the UNIbrace (more than 19,000 views!) or by going to Unibrace.
