... someone actually ASKING me to tell more about my Vanagon.  Quick summary
of cosmetic stuff in addition to the various changes (gauges, etc.) associated
with the six cylinder transplant:
- elfenbein paint all over
- stripes; red and orange, about 3/4 inch each, 2 stripes out of the three
that come in a red-orange-yellow set.  Fit perfect in the "gutter" all the
way around the car.  Auto stores have another similar set in brown, tan, gold.
I used the brown and tan last Vanagon.
- fresh flat black paint on grill; Porsche badge mounted over VW in middle
- blank hubcaps (no VW stamp) with Porsche decals in middle
- dark smoke window tint on side and rear windows
- $19 JC Whitney rear wiper
- $85 JC Whitney sun roof, mounted over the second seat, so I get the air flow
without the glare.  Don't be scared -- you can do it if you're careful.  Let
the new paint job dry a few weeks, then get your saber saw and cut a 30x14"
hole in the roof of your favorite car.
- speakers in bottom of front doors and front of back seat
- front seat rails painted flat black; front seats recovered in nubbly up-
holstery fabric
- Goodyear Aquatreds; 205/70-14
- black contact paper in long skinny sharkfin shape on the front of the rear
wheel arches, where the factory put gummy clear plastic
- Toy Box, in red and orange, about 2.5 inches tall on right rear window
- chrome trim pulled out of the window seals
- Volkswagen and Vanagon words on back painted flat black; trying to figure an
easy way to do a good-looking job of adding a second color to them.  First try,
on a spare set, freehand, was awful.
- undercoat sprayed heavily on inside of all four doors.  MAY have helped, but
you can still tell it's not a Mercedes.

Looking forward to hearing about other personalized bricks, loaves, etc.
