How 'bout "General" forum? Then all the permutations of Beetle and Type 3 and Type 4 owners can chime in with their kustom bumpers.

Good idea but I'm not sure I'd want to add any more weight to it. It already probably weighs 50lbs. Plus I don't want an excuse for a bored cop to pull me over for obstruction of tail lights. Particularly since I put the special interest plates on it.
