Seems like I've seen this one before... 
In all honesty, I think this look works better on old Beetles, and that you're going to curse yourself for going to one-piece windows.
But each to his own, right?

Did you mispell Volkswagen and Beetle on purpose? I don't get the joke.

i like it a lot man. kinda hardcore looking, like you're not afraid to beat the shit out of it.
put a huge motor in that fat bitch and go have fun! are you interested in autocrossing? if so, you're heading in the right direction.
keep it up, and build it the way you want to. don't get too caught up in what other people think is cool. |

I believe that is a super.
Looks good so far, throw some euro mirrors on it and it'll look better.
My 2 cents.

Sure its a super, but I'm sure it beats walkin'!
Depending on how many coats of "rattle-cans" you put on...you might be able to color-sand it...get rid of some of the irregularities in the finish. |

That would help a lot. Either go all-gloss, or all-matte. |
