You should have the fiberglass parts to mark where you will need to cut. I cut my rear a little short for the fenders I was going to mount. It bugs me to this day. The nose isn't a perfect fit so keep that in mind. Measure twice... cut once... and then trim trim trim.
I didn't cut my trunk like Hibbard shows with the early model beetle. I was able to keep the access panels for the steering box and shift rod and the VIN tag. Glassed the gap closed.

Has anyone found a good method for lining up the edge where the front fiberglass meets the metal?
I am concerned about water leaking into the trunk where the break is between metal and fiberglass.
I tried over lapping the metal but it doesn't look very good. |

| ready to bolt on is a lie, all fiberglass hoods require a little trimming to fit the curve of the front part of the hood beneath the windshield in my experience. it seems to be different for different years |
