Starting to transform my Bug. I'm going for the Cal Look but i think it might be a little too low in the rear. What's the opinion?
The first picture shows it with the rear in stock height.

I lowered the rear 1 outside click. It seems a little too low for the Cal-Look I'm going for. I like the look though so i guess i'll just leave it.
I'll have some better pics coming soon....

I had another question too, what is the deal with the chain coming off the gas tank clamp on your car? I have seen it before on other cars but never knew what it was for.
