Title: 911 front lenses
Post by: vwhelmot on July 26, 2014, 21:51:22 pm
Are 911 front lenses considered cal look?
I have a genuine set on the front of my bug which I am going to completely rebuild starting this winter. Should I keep them, they look cool but I want to finish with a proper hard cal looker.

Try them out, if you don't like it it's easy to change. Might make for a cool, unique look. I've seen them on VW's before but not sure if it was on a proper cal looker.

They are on the bug now and I do like them but not sure they fit into the overall theme. Where they used in the seventies in SoCal ?

I have them on my 66 chop...it is an easy install and the fluted lens casts light better than a stock clear lens for better lighting at night. They do more than just look cool.[attachment=2]

I like them. Do it!
I`m planning to use a pair on my 61 Ragtop, too.  ;)
