Badge bar:
You don't really see these in the U.S. for some reason.
Of course if you have U.S. spec bumpers, I guess you don't really need one! |

Too many inconsiderate prats with no respect for the property of others here unfortunately.

A Little off topic but my 68 has pre 67 bumpers, tail lights, turn signals, ripped off the rubber dash, low back seats, basically anything I could do to make it look less like a fat chick.

To each their own, but I think the '68-'69 beetles are the best looking since the '58-'59 models. They're definitely tidier/neater than the '67 or the '70 models. That said, the lower models in Europe retained the blade bumpers for '68 (and a few years beyond) and look fine with them.
