How is the rear spoiler effect at high speed? Does it help the car to be more stable at speeds? Thanks as I'm thinking of getting it or the J-sports spoiler. Still deciding. Thanks.

Why does a bug need brakes that big? Sweet looking though!

I plan on circuit racing my beetle in the near future and I want brakes that will NOT fade ... this conversion is WAY OVERKILL for the street. When I do 5 consecutive stops from 70 mph to 0, the brakes get warm.

This pic is from last year, need to take some new ones as car looks a little different now. They are VOXX FA wheels 17x7.

Vdubbeetle1972 where did you get that rear spoiler? Looks great, size is just right.

What size spacers did you use for the rear?

iv only got somepics of me racing, you could run bigger tires but they wont fit under the stock fron wings like mine.

Marco, I STILL think you have one of the best GLs around. Very subtle, very vicious.

BTW, Marco, what are your numbers on the track? And what are you running in there again? Was it a waterboxer? You really should throw yourself together a little website so others can drool regularily.
