Sweet!

Except for those oversized mid-'70s Super Beetle front turn signals. :smooch:

Is the stinger exhaust going to be legal where you are?

The '68-'69 turn signals were a one-off deal. Hard to find used, and no aftermarket pieces available. However, the '67 lights will work.

A quick search on ebay found these:

there is a shop near by that sells them but im not sure how much they are. So today i was driving home from work and on the way a car with some idiot driver hit me from the side... after he hit me i turned around and tried to get his insurance but he ran.. i have some fender damage on both passenger fenders and some paint is scratched... i filed a report but it probably wont help.. now i get to spend more money on the paint and bondo for the body.. i need 400% more luck...

THAT SUCKS OUT LOUD! I hate it when that happens! Sometimes it's fast/cheaper to get new fenders than try to fix w/Bondo. I haven't had many single color cars (seems money always goes to kids/house/wife's car) but I just painted mine and I'm real paranoid now.

Good luck, if you see him again let us know and we'll all gang up on him and beat the $h#t outta him.
