Working on some bar style taillight covers!

[u/Bingus-Prime]

I’ve always loved taillight covers and don’t really see any readily available for bugs, still working out the kinks, thinking of going to a design that doesn’t catcher the bolt holes and just sticks on with 3m tape for a cleaner set of lines, but still dig this shape too!

Gonna need to see more of that motor setup. Where is that turbo hidden?

[u/Bingus-Prime → u/69fellatx]

Hidden under the fender! It’s my bosses car, eventually he’ll be revealing the whole set up once complete, it’ll be a rocket.

I have seriously considered moving the package tray forward and mounting a turbo above the transaxle.

I've seen that done on a few drag cars here in Oregon. It makes for a clean setup.

I have a turbo setup that is intended to go under the rear apron and feed a water to air inter cooler attached to the fan shroud. Sadly, I haven't gotten around to installing the whole kit in one of my beetles.☹

Funny enough, he seriously considered this option! Hidden in fender just worked out as a way more simple option, but If you ever decide to I’d love to see how it turns out!

I think recessing the holes with some screws that sit more flush would clean it up. You’ll patina match the covers?

That’s what I was thinking too, I like the bolt look, so will have a bolt and bolt-less version. And yeah we are thinking some patina or nickel plating them then polish to match the chrome!
