Callook Karmann ghia
Glauco:
I'm rebuilding a '70 karmann ghia, and I want to go for the callook style, I'm planning on closing the nostrels, I have Simca rallye seats in front end am busy building my own empistyle rear seat, because I can't find them for sale. I'm still looking for 15inch empi 8 spokes (originals) and an empi eliminator shifter, if there is anyone that has them for sale;).
but here are the things I don't know what to do with:
The bumpers, I'm not into the flipped T-bars, and I found some bugs that have buggy bumpers, now my question, how callook are the buggy bumpers on a karmann ghia?
and what to do with the side trim? and the chrome trim round the headlights, and the chrome windowlinings? lose them al?
other things I should pay attention to?

I saw those, but there are 2 14inch and 2 15inch, I'm looking for a set of 15inch wheels, but 14inch in front is my second option,
thanks anyway!

I think the de-chroming thing depends on the color you are painting the car. Some colors will work well with removing side chrome and paint-matching headlight bezels (and possibly bumpers?). What color have you decided on?
Personally, I like the pre-square bumpers on a KG, which a 1970 still has, right? Maybe remove uprights and match paint the bumpers?
And my opinion, leave the horn nostrils. The nose looks too "blank", is my thought, without them. No "face"
What's under the decklid?

Glauco,
I think you can't go wrong with the t bars, don't use nerf bars. I think the buggy bars can also be an option... Maybe anyone here with pictures of this combo? Maybe make a tread in the works section and post some pictures of your progress on the car. I'm looking forward to see some pictures of El Salvatore @ work.
