Hey now, I like slot mags. If I ever do a dune buggy it will have slots or Craiger SS rims.

Fooey!  My old buggy.  I think they suit this car just fine.  Ansen Sprints are pretty cool to me.

X2. Slot mags belong on a Mercury Bobcat wood paneled wagen (aka Ford Pinto wagen) or a Scooby Doo era Ford/Chevy panel van or a shitty Corvair powered dune buggy. Slot mags and Cal look don't belong in the same sentence.

How about a Bob Geise oil cooler scoop mounted on the roof. Normally used on baja bugs back in the early '80s. Yes, fuckin ugly on a cal-look. In fact there is a pic of one in an old HVW's magazine of one. Can't remember which month/year at the moment.
Second, please NO WHIRLYBIRDS mounted on the front hood of a cal-look. That is just simply GAY! I'll even go farther and say NO BAZOKA heaters mounted above the passenger door. FUCKIN UGLY on a cal-look. Aaahhhh O.K. I feel better now! Back to our post! Grin Cheesy Roll Eyes

HAHA!! Yep, you nailed it. Couldn't agree more. Heck the question should be rewritten to a statement: Cal Look VWs = less is more.

Problem solved, 'cause the list of what not to add is too long. Although rather entertaining.

Carry on.

I don't know if this has been said before, but a freakin SWAMP COOLER... God I hate those things.

1. They make your car look stupid.
2. They look like it'll rip off your door.
3. They're like 20 years too old. Your car is from the 60's and that thing is from the 40's, well done!
