I know that there have got to be pics everywhere, but after about an hour of looking here, on The Samba I can't come up with any. Can someone point me to some pics of the fiberglass fenders?
TIA

Pic of my car that you asked me about roughly 4 months ago. I responded to your inquiry. Posted in the gallery.
P.S. What is Tampa area like? VW Swap meets? shows? off roading? Thing owners? I might be relocating....

Hey Matt, I knew that I had seen yours somewhere, but didnt' remember if it was a link to your site, The Samba etc. Thanks for the reminder.
Tampa is a great city. So much to do all the time. (though I moved down from the Pocono Mountains in PA, where though it is beautiful, there is not much to do, not a very large VW scene etc.)
Bug Jam is down here every Fall, supposed to be the biggest VW show in the SE. Fisher Buggies is also here, they host a few shows a year, swaps, drags etc. Tom Michel has a list of nearly all of the Thing owners in the area, and I believe Bob Witte as well...(Both on the Topica list) I haven't my current Thing on the road in a few years, so I'm kind of out of the loop there.
There is not a whole lot of off-roading that I am aware of...though there is a club about an hour north of here in Webster that has a track and races one weekend a month. Again, I'm probably not as informed as I could be.
IMO, the biggest benefits of Tampa area, gorgeous weather 90 percent of the year...topless all year long. Everyone is from somewhere else, so meeting people is extremely easy. And housing is still pretty cheap compared to the rest of the country. ($100/sf)
Hope this helps, give me a shout if there's anything I can help you with. Not off to find those pics...thanks again.

Found it...now I remember. Yeah, that's the look I'm going for... Have you got a pic from the back/front? I've seen a few pic of things with REALLY wide rear fenders, and I just want to make sure that these aren't the pre-runners before I order them...just looked a bit odd to me.
