probably the most simple install on a beetle, the only prob is you can no longer use the orig. spring, and the lid will not stay open by itself (must prop it up), just kinda like a spacer simple, bolt on.

You will need to get some longerbolts than the stock ones to adjust them and make it secure, i got mine at home depot

Most "kits" come with the longer bolts, and all the hardware you will need to install them. |
