 You must live on the moon.  The waterboxer Vanagons use old Beetle valve

 The other best ways to dress the compartment are to replace the fuel lines

 Colorful spark-plug wires are easy, too. >>

OH NO!!!!  the cheezy JC whipme custom look has spread from stoopid beetles

watch out for those flourescent pink distributor caps!!!!  ;<)
