Hi all,

I have seen plenty of kits like this: http://www.andysautosport.com/volkswage ... 00487.html

Does anyone have any experience doing this with their Beetles? Any pictures? I'm curious to see how it would come out. :mrgreen:

What does this do to the headlights, exactly. I know what frenched fender are, but not headlights.

I did a set. Since it was a Cal look I tilted out the stock metal rings a bit so I could eliminate the bump below the bottom of the head light. I made the round bucket removeable so I could bolt the headlight in from inside the wheel well.

Found a good, close-up example. I don't know if I like it for my car, but it is definitely interesting. I think I am steering more toward a resto-custom look.
