Nothing is uglier on a classic like a black 58-59 bug than chromies and nipple hubcaps my opinion. Also didn't Porsche hubcaps on bugs go out back in the 80s and 90s? LOL.

That's what I was thinking, those things are hideous lol. I'm more worried about the GEX engine though, that's not a good thing, but I don't think he realizes that. Lol |

| Different strokes for different folks. I personally like chromies and nipple caps. Better yet with black paint. I get picking on a price, but personal taste is exactly that, personal. |

According to the name of the advertiser, "she" is April. And if that's her in the picture, I have nothing negative to say about her, the car or the price. Just sayin'. |

She has nothing to do with it. I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.

Exactly, I think people need to grasp the fact that you almost NEVER get back what you put into a car, especially in that condition. |

There is no shortage of overpriced unfinished projects out there for For sale! Hard to sell them even at a reasonable price let alone 3x what they are worth

I've noticed this sellers ads are regularly featured in this thread. It makes me wonder if-
A) He's smarter than us and is getting these ridiculously high prices
B) Is sitting on these parts forever due to the pricing
The price for these pop outs is laughable...

He's smoking some wacky tobacky.. It sure looks like a cheap, POS Brazilian bumper to me. Let's hope the seller doesn't know any better..
