a deck lid without rust would do me :)

I really like the eyebrow style and the one I made for my vert.

I Would Have to Say A Convertible Deck Lid On My 67 and on an Early 60's Car Its Got A Be An Empi Deck Lid  Here I Go Showing My stash again..   Hope DKK Rick dose not see this OG Paint Deck Lid  LOL

LOL... Is that Savanna Beige???

You have all the cool stuff Shubee! ;)

Yes It Is Rick here is a Picture of the Inside its a clean one!!

It depends on the car! I love my scooped '67 decklid, I wouldnt trade it for anything! Convertible lids are great too- they dont disturb the lines of the car, yet still give the IDA's the air they need :) I think these look great on a cal look oval...

Aronson on a race car

I like Aronson decklid and a will have that on my car also.

Streetcar: Stock, smooth, (verd-lid is cool also, but i like the clean look without the grilles).

Strip: "Aronson"

it was damaged when i got it shipped from America....the idiot that sent it just wrote my address on it and chucked it in the post  ::)

its all fixed up now though..

Convertible, just because that's more easy too do yourself than a Aronson or other else ..

The Jade Grenade had an NOS 58-63 vert decklid.  It was in red lead with the ink stamp when I got it.  I almost didn't want to have it painted.

convertible for me, now, if someone has a '64 vert lid...tell me!!!

I don't dare say what I'm going to use on my car...     :D

BTW, what year did the boys start driving without decklids ?

I prefer Convertible and I mounted it on my 65...
but I also like the Scoop´d Empistyle one.
The nicest one to keep the smooth lines of a bug is definetly the stock one-but enigne gets to hot on the Autobahn-the Cabrio Lid downs the Oiltemp. 10-15 degrees Cel. in the Autobahn in summertime.

There is a 64 vert lid on the samba now.

The seller is Dave Cormack's friend,  "Dr. Decklid".

$395!!  :o :o :o :o :o :o

this is getting worse and worse, when you have saved enough money prices climb again!  :-\

Realy !!  :o :o
I will but a convertible lid for olitemp, but I never think enought !!
that's a good news for me, if I can win 10-15 degrees less !!
Thank's Gregor

I really dig the 67 scooped decklid from the paint box. I am in the usa, Anyone know how i can get one? I emailed Simon about this, but I have yet to get a reply.

Anthony

like this...

Thats a nice looking car.......

if you can't source one in the USA maybe try JAVA (jon abbott volkswagen accesories)here in the UK,  simon at the paintbox is such a nice guy but they're SO busy and they're doing loads of hotrod & cusom bike stuff at the moment...

best of luck dude...

I have to admit I am a sucker for an Aronson style decklid - They just look soooooo cool  :)

Who Makes That 67 Deck lid? The Shape  fits very well with the 67 shape

I know AutoHaus used to. At least I know Ive seen a decklid like that with a AutoHaus label glassed into the inside. I dont know where mine came from- other then the previous owner ;D

I had a NOS "58 lid for mine too, and I couldn't bring myself to altering it in any way.  My friend Matt took my original '58 lid and "slightly modified" it !  ;)

All metal - hand pounded "D-cups" and grafted vert vents.  Also a cowl vent from a late model to let the 993 fan breath a little better!  ;D

It's my favorite part of my car.

One more completed.

I think that cowl vent is my favorite part of your car too ;) Great idea, even the shape of it fits well right there.

yeah....nice thinking dude......its cool to see people putting that extra bit of creativity in.

I like the little props, thats a nice touch :)

 :o wow engine props good nice  :o

This blends with a 67 decklid very well ! I like it !!

Darrell Baker's former "D-Cup" '58 deck lid is now part of my collection.

Sadly the car wasn't so lucky! :'(

Any ideas where the car is now?  I remember seeing what happened to it when it was thrown on Ebay with a whole bunch of god-awful "improvements" by the seller at the time, but never heard anything after.

I did my own eyebrow style a little different. I did not like the long slots so I made one out of a 67 deck lid I had in my stash.  Here are some shots of the primered, unpainted version.

This is mine decklid, made by Seppe in Belgium  :)
