    Saw this and thought it'd be fun to see everyone's ideas in one thread....

    Might be kinda hard, but I'd love to see a baja bug chop out of the new version if anyone can pull it off.

    I was thinking about that. My chopping skills are not amazing, but it'd be fun.

    I wouldn't buy a Beetle to win any races, so maybe some air ride and Fuchs? Shave the handles rear bumper. Remove the stupid shark fin.

    This is a weird request but can anyone remove the line where the rear render meets the body and make it look like one piece as opposed to a tacked on fender?

    Before reading any other posts, I found the image odd. Just seems kind of strange to "advertise" with a simple Photoshop job with pretty poor execution. No offense to the OP.

    I am not defending him but I guess everyone should be mab at vortex for allowing it. Not the poster.

    Either way I dont really care I just think its funny that it is an issue with some that "self promoting" is bad or wrong.

    I am my biggest fan and I hope you are yours.

    Do good work and let your clients/customers promote for you.

    Can we just get back on topic here people. You have no power only mods do so stop being the wanna be police. If they have a problem with it they'll handle it.

    What a surprise, they're all lowered. Can't you guys be imaginative at stock ride height?
    Thoughts expressed are those of the poster and not those of some long dead guy who I choose to speak for me.

    I was gonna contribute something, but there are way too many results when googling for "roof rack with a lot of crap on it". Now I'm depressed.
