Herbie the love box? (pic)
Question for the group: Would it be sacrilegious to both the VW and Scion community if I debadged my new white xB, put VW badges on along with vinyl Herbie decals.
I have a set of high quality vinyl decals that were made to outfit an early 60's bug in the Herbie style. My youngest son thought it would be cool to put them on our new polar white xB. Has anyone done this? Is it too wacky to go through the effort? There would be a couple technical challenges like the hood decal may be too large and it is split in the middle to handle the chrome trim on the bug, but with some work I could get it dialed in.
Let me know your thoughts.

Here are the graphics held in place with tape. Obviously the stripe would not go on the glass but you get the picture. Kids love it, wife hates it.

Looks awsome. BTW, real Herbie stripe is off-center (just like me). Sorry... :D
My neighbour calls my box "rollerskate". I was thinking of having a sticker made which looks like rollerskate laces. Then stick it on the hood. I would also have to come up with something that looks like rollerskates for the lower sides. One of these days... For now, it is my "fridge".

The racing stripe should be in line with the driver seat, the origional purpose was to keep the driver of rally cars oriented as to which way is forward.....
otherwise looks really great!
DO IT!
