Typically, an "old school cal-look" car doesn't have add-ons. It has upgrades.

Eye lids are a good one but I'm suprised that no one mentioned the Hemoroid (Helrod) Helper. That's one item that I love to hate!

At SCC, me and my good friend Jalle was driving his cool ī64 panel to the nearby MacDonalds to grab a bite. When we pulled in I noticed a nice 60īs bug parked outside, it had "the look" and i said to my friend "That looks like a car thatīs by "the book"". We pulled in and as we came around and saw the front of the car it had LOUVERED eyebrows!!! I had to hold on to the dash handlebar to keep myself upright!  |

At least louvered eyelids don't catch as much air as the ordinary ones  |

It's been mentioned here before, but it really deserves yet another mentioning, because whenever I see it, I feel like strangling the car's owner. That horrenous, idiotic, crappy, dumb-ass, Taiwan, morone "Cal-Look" badge must be the most hated one of all times. Why?
1: It adds CHROME
2: It adds CHROME, taste it, CHROME being ADDED to your cal-looker.
3: It adds CHROME, but, it spells Cal-Look
4: Besides from adding CHROME it's a crappy piece, bad made, simple as that.
5: If a car is cal-look one shouldn't have to "say" it by adding a sign spelling "Cal-look", and why the hell would one add chrome to a dechromed car?
Ok, so my own car isn't dechromed, but that's just because i haven't had the heart to repaint it, (yet) given it's beautiful patina. So, it might not be a true cal-looker in the right sense of the word, but at least no chrome has been added to it.
Adding that crap-ass badge to a true cal-looker is like tattooing ASSHOLE in George Bush's forhead.

Nah... I don't agree... somehow that tattoo wouldn't prevent him from beeing an ASSHOLE... as in the case with the badge on a looker |

I agree that Cal-Look emblem is very bad. But how often do you see those now. I think that Eyelids is bader because many do have them here in Norway. Its just the calookers who dont have them.
But i can destroy emblems too. Just bring them to me Mango

Zack, you need to swap the clear dist cap for a red clear one, matching wires and don't forget the red plastic finned inserts for the pulley and around the generator!

...after a while of thinking I came to a conclusion: The "Cal Look" badge also tends to be my favourite "no-go"! As mentioned, this little item includes something like a "paradoxon"-Saying "Cal look", adding chrome & weight, mostly being found on cars that are everything else but a Cal look car |

Like this teenager I saw the other day wearing a truckers hat with "I'm So Cool" airbrushed on it. If you're truly cool, would you need to wear a hat saying that you were cool?  No! You'd be too cool to wear it. So by wearing it you're proving how much cool you're lacking. |

don't forget RX twin stinger exhaust, and red plastic plug wire looms, oh and make sure that clear red cap is a swinging 90 degree Porsche style!! Gotta go all the way dude. RX exhausts are cool! i've just sold mine though, not really 70's cal look though... |

for some strange reason there seems to be a fairly prominent section of the vw community here in the UK that regard the RX exhaust as a desirable item??? still, we drink a lot in the UK and drug use is pretty popular too. |
