Here's also a pic of the deer collision from 2 months ago. Hit the thing at around 60-70mph, the trooper said I was really lucky!

I looked outside and saw a great sunset with pink and blue sky, so I snatched the camera and tried to capture the moment in the reflection of my just-washed hood. 65 degrees today wow!

Just bought some red/clear OEM looking tailights :) They should be in by Wednesday, I can't wait! I'll take some installation pics too, just for fun. Too bad they won't be here for the GTG over the weekend

Thanks guys :) The pics don't really do it justice, they look much nicer and sleeker in real life! We'll see how well I did the installation after this weekend with all the rain/snow/ice. If there's no condensation in there, I'll be a happy camper.
Your beetle is really comming along looks good. :D

The inserts look really good. VW should do this to their cars from the factory.
Thanks guys, I think it looks great with the inserts. I don't know why it's not factory either, but for the $7 I paid, it was def worth it.

Auusie Bug, I bet you can't wait to get your bug back, I saw those crash pics! ouch. I'm guessing that red Supra back there is yours? Very nice looking!
I'm suprised VW didn't bring out colour matched badges on the colour concept bugs. Where did you get your inserts from?

Its been 4 months, 7 days and about 6 hours (not that I'm counting :p ) Thanks! Yeah, its my husband's baby.
Wow, that's a long time. My mom had an accident a while back in her BMW, some truck hit her whole driver side trying to change lanes. Her car was gone for months and months also. Sucks!

I bought my inserts from Slug (the sticker guy) for about $7, any color you want, front and back. The back ones were a little big, I just trimmed them down with a blade. I really dig the look though.
Pepper is looking awesome Gina! :bigthumb: I love those red/clear tails! I want a pair. Love the inserts also. I think I just might get me some. :D
Were they $7 all together for front and back?
Thank you thank you!

Yeah they were 7 bux for the front and back. Not bad!
i know that place

hey what park is that in first shot. just wondering because i know ive been there! by the way nice car gina
