I almost hate to waste the time and talents of this forum by asking this of you ... Have I made the hall of shame? In my efforts to keep a stock appearance I aquired these fog covers for my '80 Westy.
1. Are these 80ish covers or are they better suited in time for my 67 beetle?
And 2. Have I stepped into a big bucket of...VW tackiness?
Thanks.. I think

If you have to ask you already know the answer.

They would look groovy on a Beetle! 80's... maybe a Rubik's cube. Or pictures of Ferris Bueller, or the guys from ZZ Top.

I like them. If you can't blind them with speed, you can at least confuse their vision!

| looks like Op Art type stuff - so, I'd bet starting some time in the late 1970s |

They're unique and the match the vibe of your license plate. I like them!

The van behind the lights looks nice.

| You should replace them covers with picture of Nuts and have a sticker in between the two lights that says "STOP STARING AT MY NUTS"! |
